Sitting in the twilight musing on the days that come and go

Grace dwells with justice on your throne

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 77 Lyrics: Grace dwells with justice on your throne, and those who love your word have heard your wisdom, and have known your heavenly counsels, Lord. I'll think again of all your ways, and talk your wonders o'er: — the wonders of recovering grace, when flesh could hope no more. I will forbid a hopeless thought, some dark, despairing claim, remembering good your hand has wrought; your hand is still the same! I'll meditate your works of old; our God, who reigns above; I'll hear your ancient wonders told, and learn to trust your love.

Psalm LXXVII

Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 77 First Line: To God, I rais'd my earnest cries Lyrics: I. To God, I rais'd my earnest cries, To God, who rules the earth and skies; His sov'reign mercy deign'd to hear My loud complaints, with pitying ear. II. The tedious day was spent in grief, In humble prayer I sought relief; But day and night the restless smart Deny'd sweet comfort to my heart. III. I thought on God with terrors arm'd; New troubles then my soul alarm'd; Then over-whelming sorrows rose, Nor could complaining ease my woes. IV. Thy terrors, Lord, forbid my rest, And silent anguish fills my breast; And now in sad reflection rise Past days and years before my eyes. V. My nightly songs I call to mind, And try some gleam of joy to find; But search this wretched heart in vain, For all is darkness, grief and pain. VI. Will God forever leave his care? Must I no more his favour share? Shall long-lost mercy ne'er prevail? And can his word for ever fail? VII. Array'd in frowns his angry face, Has God forgot his wonted grace? And clos'd the full, the boundless store Of mercy, ne'er to open more? VIII. But I rebuke my drooping heart, Far hence ye guilty fears depart; Still will I call past comforts o'er, And trust almighty love and pow'r. IX. This drooping heart again shall trace The ancient wonders of thy grace; The mighty owkrs my God has wrought, Shall still employ my voice, my thought. X. Thy way, O God, thy wond'rous way, While in thy temple I survey, Struck with astonishment, I cry, Where is a pow'r so great, so high? XI. Whoe'er surveys thy works must own That thou art God, and thou alone; Thy favours to thy chosen care The wonders of thy pow'r declare. XII. Thy potent arm, for ever near, Controul'd their foes, controul'd their fear; And Jacob's sons, (distinguish'd race!) Confess'd thy kind deliv'ring grace. XIII. The waters with thy presence aw'd, Beheld, and own'd their maker God; The ocean shook with all its waves, And trembled thro' its deepest caves. XIV. The full clouds pour'd their wat'ry store; Amid the storm's impetuous roar, Thy dreadful arrows flew abroad, And sounding skies proclaim'd the God! XV. Thy awful voice in thunder broke, Heav'n listen'd while th'almighty spoke! While o'er the world keen light'nings spread, Earth trembled with unusual dread! XVI. Thy path, O Lord, thy tractless way Lies in the deep unfathom'd sea; No mortal thought can ever trace Thy steps of wisdom, pow'r and grace. XVII. Thy people found thy guardian care; Where'er they wander'd, God was there; 'Till guided by thy prophet's hand, They reach'd secure the promis'd land.

Then said I, This my weakness is

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 77:10-20 Lyrics: 10 Then said I, This my weakness is; but call to mind will I the years of the right hand of him who is the Lord most high. 11 Yea, I remember will the works performed by the Lord: the wonders done of old by thee I surely will record. 12 Upon thy doings I will muse, on thy works meditate; 13 most holy is thy way, O God: what God like thee is great? 14 Thou art the God that wonders dost by thy right hand most strong: thy mighty power thou hast declared the nations all among. 15 To thine own people with thine arm thou didst redemption bring; to Jacob's sons, and to the tribes of Joseph that do spring. 16 The waters did thee see, O God, the waters did thee see; the depths thereof were troubled all, for fear aside did flee. 17 The clouds in water forth were poured, sound loudly did the sky, and swiftly through the world abroad thine arrows fierce did fly. 18 Thy thunder's voice along the heaven a mighty noise did make; thy lightings lighten did the world, earth trembled and did shake. 19 Thy way is in the sea, and in the waters great thy path; thy footsteps hidden are, O Lord, none knowledge thereof hath. 20 Thy people thou didst safely lead, like to a flock of sheep; by Moses' hand and Aaron's thou didst them conduct and keep.
