The Reign of Christ
Hymnal: The Psalter #193 (1912) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Poor Remembered by God First Line: O God, to Thy Anointed King Lyrics: 1 O God, to thy Anointed King
Give truth and righteousness;
Thy people He will justly judge
And give the poor redress.
2 Then ev'ry fruitful mountain side
Shall yield its rich increase,
And righteousness in all the land
Shall bear the fruit of peace.
3 The poor man's cause He will maintain,
The needy He will bless,
And He will break the strength of those
Who would the poor oppress.
4 So men shall fear Thee wile the sun
In daily splendor glows,
And through all ages, while the moon
On earth its light bestows.
5 Like rain upon the new-mown grass,
That falls refreshingly,
Like gentle show'rs that cheer the earth,
So shall His coming be.
6 The righteous in His glorious day
Shall flourish and increase;
The earth, until the moon shall fade,
Shall have abundant peace. Scripture: Psalm 72 Languages: English Tune Title: HYMN
The Reign of Christ
The Blessings of the liberal Man
Hymnal: Doctor Watts's imitation of the Psalms of David, to which is added a collection of hymns; the whole applied to the state of the Christian Church in general (3rd ed.) #198b (1786) Topics: Charity to the poor; Poor charity to them; Charity to the poor; Poor charity to them First Line: That man is blest who stands in awe Lyrics: 1 That man is blest who stands in awe
Of God, and loves his sacred law:
His seed on earth shall be renown'd;
His house the seat of wealth shall be,
An unexhausted treasury,
And with successive honours crown'd.
2 His liberal favours he extends,
To some he gives, to others lends:
A generous pity fills his mind:
Yet what his charity impairs,
He saves by prudence in affairs,
And thus he's just to all mankind.
3 His hands, while they his alms bestow'd,
His glory's future harvest sow'd,
The sweet remembrance of the just
Like a green root revives and bears
A train of blessings for his heirs,
When dying nature sleeps in dust.
4 Beset with threatening dangers round,
Unmov'd shall he maintain his ground;
His conscience holds his courage up:
The soul that's filled with virtue's light,
Shines brightest in affliction's night:
And sees in darkness beams of grace.
Pause.
5 [Ill tidings never can surprise
His heart that fix'd on God relies,
Though waves and tempests roar around:
Safe on the rock he sits, and sees
The shipwreck of his enemies,
And all their hope and glory drown'd.
6 The wicked shall his triumph see,
And gnash their teeth in agony,
To find their expectations crost:
They and their envy, pride and spite,
Sink down to everlasting night,
And all their names in darkness lost.] Scripture: Psalm 112 Languages: English

God's hidden ones
Author: William Croswell Hymnal: Laudes Domini #467 (1890) Topics: Poor, the ; Poor, the First Line: Lord, lead the way the Saviour went Lyrics: 1 Lord, lead the way the Saviour went,
By lane and cell obscure,
And let love's treasures still be spent,
Like his, upon the poor.
2 Like him, through scenes of deep distress,
Who bore the world's sad weight,
We, in their crowded loneliness,
Would seek the desolate.
3 For thou hast placed us side by side
In this wide world of ill;
And that thy followers may be tried,
The poor are with us still.
4 Mean are all offerings we can make;
Yet thou hast taught us, Lord,
If given for the Saviour's sake,
They lose not their reward. Languages: English
God's hidden ones
Thou God of hope, to thee we bow!
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #759 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Poor Lyrics: 1 Thou God of hope, to thee we bow!
Thou art our Refuge in distress;
The Husband of the widow, thou
The Father of the fatherless.
2 The poor are thy peculiar care;
To them thy promises are sure:
Thy gifts the poor in spirit share;
Oh! may we always thus be poor!
3 May we thy law of love fulfill,
To bear each other's burdens here;
Endure and do thy righteous will,
And walk in all thy faith and fear.
Thou God of hope, to thee we bow!
Psalm 37 Part 2
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.87 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Poor charity to them; Charity to the poor First Line: Why do the wealthy wicked boast Lyrics:
Why do the wealthy wicked boast,
And grow profanely bold?
The meanest portion of the just
Excels the sinner's gold.
The wicked borrows of his friends,
But ne'er designs to pay;
The saint is merciful and lends,
Nor turns the poor away.
His alms with lib'ral heart he gives
Amongst the sons of need;
His mem'ry to long ages lives,
And blessed is his seed.
His lips abhor to talk profane,
To slander or defraud;
His ready tongue declares to men
What he has learned of God.
The law and gospel of the Lord
Deep in his heart abide;
Led by the Spirit and the word,
His feet shall never slide.
When sinners fall, the righteous stand,
Preserved from every snare;
They shall possess the promised land,
And dwell for ever there.

Psalm 41
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.96 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Poor charity to them; Charity to the poor First Line: Blest is the man whose bowels move Lyrics:
Blest is the man whose bowels move,
And melt with pity to the poor;
Whose soul, by sympathizing love,
Feels what his fellow saints endure.
His heart contrives for their relief
More good than his own hands can do;
He, in the time of gen'ral grief,
Shall find the Lord has bowels too.
His soul shall live secure on earth,
With secret blessings on his head,
When drought, and pestilence, and dearth
Around him multiply their dead.
Or if he languish on his couch,
God will pronounce his sins forgiv'n;
Will save him with a healing touch,
Or take his willing soul to heav'n.

Psalm 112
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.246 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Poor charity to them; Charity to the poor First Line: Thrice happy man who fears the Lord Lyrics:
Thrice happy man who fears the Lord,
Loves his commands, and trusts his word;
Honor and peace his days attend,
And blessings to his seed descend.
Compassion dwells upon his mind,
To works of mercy still inclined;
He lends the poor some present aid,
Or gives them, not to be repaid.
When times grow dark, and tidings spread
That fill his neighbors round with dread,
His heart is armed against the fear,
For God with all his power is there.
His soul, well fixed upon the Lord,
Draws heav'nly courage from his word;
Amidst the darkness light shall rise,
To cheer his heart and bless his eyes.
He hath dispersed his alms abroad;
His works are still before his God;
His name on earth shall long remain,
While envious sinners fret in vain.
