Backsliding and Forgiveness; or, Sin punish'd and Saints saved

Hymnal: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David #LXXVIIId (1785) Scripture: Psalm 78 First Line: Great GOD, how oft did Israel prove Lyrics: 1 Great GOD, how oft did Israel prove By turns thine anger, and thy love? There is a glass our hearts may see How fickle and how false they be. 2 How soon the faithless Jews forgot The dreadful wonders GOD had wrought? Then they provoke him to his face, Nor fear his power, nor trust his grace. 3 The Lord consum'd their years in pain, And made their travels long and vain; A tedious march thro' unknown ways Wore out their strength, and spent their days. 4 Oft when they saw their brethren slain, They mourn'd, and sought the Lord again; Call'd him the rock of their abode, Their high Redeemer, and their GOD. 5 Their prayers and vows before him rise As flattering words or solemn lies, While their rebellious tempers prove False to his cov'nant and his love. 6 Yet could his sovereign grace forgive The men who not deserv'd to live; His anger oft away he turn'd, Or else with gentle flame it burn'd. 7 He saw their flesh was weak and frail, He saw temptations still prevail; The GOD of Abraham lov'd them still, And led them to his holy hill.

Psalm 78 Part 2

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.167 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Psalm 78 First Line: O What a stiff rebellious house Lyrics: O What a stiff rebellious house Was Jacob's ancient race! False to their own most solemn vows, And to their Maker's grace. They broke the cov'nant of his love, And did his laws despise; Forgot the works he wrought to prove His power before their eyes. They saw the plagues on Egypt light From his revenging hand; What dreadful tokens of his might Spread o'er the stubborn land! They saw him cleave the mighty sea, And marched in safety through, With wat'ry walls to guard their way, Till they had 'scaped the foe. A wondrous pillar marked the road, Composed of shade and light; By day it proved a shelt'ring cloud, A leading fire by night. He from the rock their thirst supplied The gushing waters fell, And ran in rivers by their side, A constant miracle. Yet they provoked the Lord most High, And dared distrust his hand: "Can he with bread our host supply Amidst this desert land?" The Lord with indignation heard, And caused his wrath to flame; His terrors ever stand prepared To vindicate his name.
