God's Conduct of Israel, and the Plagues of Egypt
Hymnal: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David #197 (1787) Scripture: Psalm 105 First Line: Give thanks to God, invoke his name Lyrics: 1 Give thanks to God, invoke his name,
And tell the world his grace;
Sound through the earth his deeds of fame,
That all may seek his face.
2 His covenant which he kept in mind
For numerous ages past,
To numerous ages yet behind
In equal force shall last.
3 He swore to Abraham and his seed,
And made the blessings sure:
Gentiles the ancient promise read,
And find his truth endure.
4 "Thy seed shall make all nations blest,
(Said the Almighty voice)
"And Canaan's land shall be their rest,
"The type of heavenly joys.
5 [How large the grant! how rich the grace!
To give them Canaan's land,
When they were strangers in the place,
A small and feeble band!
6 Like pilgrims through the countries round
Securely they remov'd:
And haughty kings that on them frown'd
Severely he reprov'd.
7 "Touch mine anointed, and mine arm
"Shall soon avenge the wrong:
"The man that does my prophets harm
Shall know their God is strong."
8 Then let the world forbear its rage,
Nor put the church in fear;
Israel must live through every age,
And be th' Almighty's care.
Pause I.
9 When Pharaoh dar'd to vex the saints,
And thus provok'd their God,
Moses was sent at their complaints,
Arm'd with his dreadful rod.
10 He call'd for darkness: darkness came
Like an o'erwhelming flood;
He turn'd each lake and every stream
To lakes and streams of blood.
11 He gave the sign, and noisome flies
Through the whole country spread;
And frogs in baleful armies rise
About the monarch's bed.
12 Through fields and towns and palaces
The tenfold vengeance flew;
Locusts in swarms devour'd their trees
And hail their cattle slew.
13 Then by an Angel's midnight stroke
The flower of Egypt dy'd;
The strength of every house was broke,
Their glory and their pride.
14 Now let the world forbear its rage,
Nor put the church in fear;
Israel must live through every age,
And be th' Almighty's care.
Pause II.
15 Thus were the tribes from bondage freed,
And left the hated ground;
Rich with Egyptian spoils they fled,
Nor was one feeble found.
16 The Lord himself chose out their way,
And mark'd their journies right,
Gave them a leading cloud by day,
A fiery guide by night.
17 They thirst; and waters from the rock
In rich abundance flow,
And following still the course they took
Ran all the desert through.
18 O wondrous stream! O blessed type
Of ever-flowing grace!
So Christ our rock maintains our life
And aids our wandering race.
19 Thus guarded by th' Almighty hand,
The chosen tribes possest
Canaan the rich, the promis'd land,
And there enjoy'd their rest.
20 Then let the world forbear its rage,
The church renounce her fear;
Israel must live through every age,
And be th' Almighty's care.

Lift Every Voice and Sing
Author: James Weldon Johnson Hymnal: Baptist Hymnal 1991 #627 (1991) Meter: Irregular Scripture: Psalm 105:2 First Line: Lift ev'ry voice and sing Refrain First Line: Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us Lyrics: 1. Lift ev'ry voice and sing, till earth and heaven ring,
Ring with the harmonies of liberty;
Let our rejoicing rise, high as the list'ning skies,
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us,
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us;
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun,
Let us march on till victory is won.
2. Stony the road we trod, bitter the chast'ning rod,
Felt in the days when hope unborn had died;
Yet with a steady beat, have not our weary feet,
Come to the place for which our fathers sighed?
We have come over a way that with tears has been watered,
We have come, treading our path thro' the blood of the slaughtered,
Out from the gloomy past, till now we stand at last
Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.
3. God of our weary years, God of our silent tears,
Thou who hast brought us thus far on the way;
Thou who hast by Thy might, led us into the light,
Keep us forever in the path, we pray.
Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee.
Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee;
Shadowed beneath Thy hand, may we forever stand,
True to our God, true to our native land. Languages: English Tune Title: LIFT EVERY VOICE

Al Rey de los cielos que nace en Judá.
Sin ricas ofrendas podemos llegar,
Que el Niño prefiere la fe y la bondad.

Por cuna un pesebre, por templo un portal;
En lecho de pajas incógnito está
Quien quiso a los astros su gloria prestar.

Y magos de oriente buscándole van;
Delante se postran del Rey de Judá,
De incienso, oro y mirra tributo le dan. Topics: Advenimiento; Advent Languages: Spanish Tune Title: HIDING IN THEE

O render Thanks and bless the Lord
Hymnal: A New Version of the Psalms of David #CV (1760) Scripture: Psalm 105 Lyrics: 1 O render Thanks and bless the Lord;
invoke his sacred Name;
Acquaint the Nations with his Deeds,
his matchless Deeds proclaim.
2 Sing to his Praise, in lofty Hymns
his wondrous Works rehearse;
Make them the Theme of your Discourse,
and Subject of your Verse.
3 Rejoice in his Almighty Name,
alone to be ador'd;
And let their Hearts o'erflow with Joy,
that humbly see the Lord.
4 Seek ye the Lord, his saving Strength
devoutly still implore;
And where he's ever present, seek
his Face for evermore.
5 The Wonders that his Hands have wrought,
keep thankfully in Mind;
The righteous Statutes of his Mouth,
and Laws to us assign'd.
6 Know ye his Servant Abr'am's Seed
and Jacob's chosen Race,
7 He's still our God, his Judgments still
throughout the Earth take place.
8 His Cov'nant He hath kept in Mind
for num'rous Ages past,
Which yet for thousand Ages more,
in equal Force shall last.
9 First sign'd to Abr'am, next by Oath
to Isaac made secure;
10 To Jacob and his Heirs a Law
for ever to endure:
11 That Canaan's Land should be their Lot,
when yet but few they were:
12 But few in Number, and those few
all friendless Strangers there.
13 In Pilgrimage, from Realm to Realm,
securely they remov'd;
14 Whilst proudest Monarchs for their sakes,
severely He reprov'd:
15 "These mine Anointed are, said He,
"let none my Servants wrong,
"Nor treat the poorest Prophet ill
"that does to Me belong."
16 A Dearth at last, by his Command,
did through the Land prevail;
'Till Corn, the chief Support of Life,
sustaining Corn did fail.
17 But his indulgent Providence
had pious Joseph sent,
Sold into Egypt, but their Death
who sold him to prevent.
18 His Feet with heavy Chains were crush'd,
with Calumny his Fame:
19 'Till God's appointed Time and Word
to his Deliv'rance came.
20 The King his sov'reign Order sent,
and rescu'd him with Speed;
Whom private malice had confin'd,
the People's Ruler freed.
21 His Courts, Revenues, Realms, were all
subjected to his Will;
22 His greatest Princes to controul,
and teach his Statesmen Skill.
Part II
23 To Egypt then, invited Guests,
half-famish'd Isr'el came;
And Jacob held, by royal Grant,
the fertile Soil of Ham.
24 Th' Almighty there with such Increase
his People multiply'd,
'Till with their proud Oppressors they
in Strength and Number vy'd.
25 Their vast Increase th' Egyptian Hearts
with jealous Anger fir'd,
'Till they his Servants to destroy
by treach'rous Arts conspir'd.
26 His Servant Moses then He sent,
his chosen Aaron too;
27 Impower'd with Signs and Miracles
to prove their Mission true.
28 He call'd for Darkness, Darkness came,
Nature his Summons knew;
29 Each Stream and Lake, transform'd to Blood,
the wand'ring Fishes slew.
30 In putrid Floods, throughout the Land,
the Pest of Frogs was bred;
From noisome Fens sent up to croak
at Pharaoh's Board and Bed.
31 He gave the Sign, and Swarms of Flies
came down in cloudy Hosts;
Whilst Earth's enlivin'd Dust below
bread Lice through all their Coasts.
32 He sent them batt'ring Hail for Rain,
and Fire for cooling Dew.
33 He smote their Vines, and Forest Plants,
and Garden's Pride o'erthrew.
34 He spake the Word, and Locusts came,
and Caterpillars join'd;
They prey'd upon the poor Remains
the Storm had left behind.
35 From Trees to Herbage they descend,
no verdant Thing they spare;
But like the naked fallow Field,
leave all the Pastures bare.
36 From Fields to Villages and Towns,
commission'd Vengeance slew;
One fatal Stroke their eldest Hopes
and Strength of Egypt flew.
37 He brought his Servants forth, enrich'd
with Egypt's borrow'd Wealth;
And, what transcends all Treasures else,
enrich'd with vig'rous Health.
38 Egypt rejoic'd, in hopes to find
her Plagues with them remov'd;
Taught dearly now to fear worse Ills
by those already prov'd.
39 Their shrouding Canopy by Day
a journeying Cloud was spread:
A fiery Pillar all the Night
their desart Marches led.
40 They long'd for Flesh; with Ev'ning Quails
He furnish'd ev'ry Tent:
From Heav'n's own Granary, each Morn,
the Bread of Angels sent.
41 He smote the Rock; whose flinty Breast
pour'd forth a gushing Tide,
Whose flowing Stream, where'er they march'd,
the Desart's Drought supply'd.
42 For still He did on Abr'am's Faith
and ancient League reflect;
43 He brought his People forth with Joy,
with Triumph his dlect.
44 Quite rooting out their heathen Foes
from Canaan's fertile Soil,
To them in cheap Possession gave
the Fruit of others Toil:
45 That they his Statutes might observe,
his sacred Laws obey.
For Benefits so fast, let us
our Songs of Praise repay. Languages: English
