Blest is the man, for ever blest

Hymnal: DWIP1790 #69a (1790) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Blest is the man, for ever blest, Whose guilt is pardon'd by his God, Whose sins with sorrow are confess'd, And cover'd with his Savior's blood. 2 Blest is the man to whom the Lord Imputes not his iniquities; He pleads no merit of reward, And not on works, but grace relies. 3 From guile his heart and lips are free: His humble joy, his holy fear, With deep repentance well agree, And join to prove his faith sincere. 4 How glorious is that righteousness That hides and cancels all his sins! While a bright evidence of grace Thro' his whole life appears and shines. Scripture: Psalm 32 Languages: English

While I keep silence and conceal

Hymnal: DWIP1790 #69b (1790) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 While I keep silence, and conceal My heavy guilt within my heart, What torments doth my conscience feel, What agonies of inward smart! 2 I spread my sins before the Lord, And all my secret faults confess: Thy gospel speaks a pard'ning word, Thine Holy Spirit seals the grace. 3 For this shall ev'ry humble soul Make swift addresses to thy seat; When floods of huge temptations roll, There shall they find a blest retreat. 4 How safe beneath thy wings I lie, When days grow dark and storms appear! And when I walk, thy watchful eye Shall guide me safe from ev'ry snare. Scripture: Psalm 32 Languages: English

Rejoice, ye righteous in the lord

Scripture: Psalm 33 Languages: English

Blest is the nation, where the Lord

Hymnal: DWIP1790 #71 (1790) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Blest is the nation, where the Lord Hath fix'd his gracious throne; Where he reveals his heav'nly word, And calls their tribes his own. 2 His eye with infinite survey Does the whole world behold; He form'd us all of equal clay, And knows our feeble mould. 3 Kings are not rescu'd by the force Of armies from the grave; Nor speed nor courage of a horse Can the bold rider save. 4 Vain is the strength of beasts or men, To hope for safety thence; But holy souls from God obtain A strong and sure defence. 5 God is their fear, and God their trust; When plagues or famine spread; His watchful eye secures the just Amongst ten thousand dead. 6 Lord, let our hearts in thee rejoice, And bless us from thy throne; For we have made thy word our choice, And trust thy grace alone. Scripture: Psalm 33 Languages: English

Ye holy souls, in God rejoice

Hymnal: DWIP1790 #72a (1790) Lyrics: 1 Ye holy souls, in God rejoice, Your Maker's praise becomes your voice; Great is your theme, your songs be new: Sing of his name, his word, his ways, His works of nature and of grace, How wise and holy, just and true! 2 Justice and truth he ever loves, And the whole earth his goodness proves; His word the heav'nly arches spread: How wide they shine from north to south! And by the spirit of his mouth Were all the starry armies made. 3 He gathers the wide-flowing seas (Those wat'ry treasures know their place) In the vast storehouse of the deep: He spake, and gave all nature birth; And fires, and seas, and heav'n, and earth, His everlasting orders keep. 4 Let mortals tremble and adore A God of such resistless pow'r, Nor dare indulge their feeble rage: Vain are your thoughts, and weak your hands; But his eternal counsel stands, And rules the world from age to age. Scripture: Psalm 33 Languages: English

O happy nation, where the Lord

Hymnal: DWIP1790 #72b (1790) Lyrics: 1 O happy nation, where the Lord Reveals the treasure of his word, And builds his church, his earthly throne! His eye the heathen world surveys, He form'd their hearts, he knows their ways: But God their Maker is unknown. 2 Let kings rely upon their hosts, And of his strength the champion boast; In vain they boast, in vain rely: In vain we trust the brutal force, Or speed, or courage of an horse, To guard his rider or to fly. 3 The eye of thy compassion, Lord, Doth more secure defence afford, When death or dangers threat'ning stand: Thy watchful eye preserves the just, Who make thy name their fear and trust, When wars or famine waste the land. 4 In sickness, or the bloody field, Thou our physician, thou our shield, Send us salvation from thy throne: We wait to see thy goodness shine; Let us rejoice in help divine, For all our hope is God alone. Scripture: Psalm 33 Languages: English

Scripture: Psalm 34 Languages: English

Children, in years and knowledge young

Hymnal: DWIP1790 #74 (1790) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Children, in years and knowledge young, Your parents' hope, your parents' joy, Attend the counsels of my tongue; Let pious thoughts your minds employ. 2 If you desire a length of days, And peace to crown your mortal state, Restrain your feet from impious ways, Your lips from slander and deceit. 3 The eyes of God regard his saints, His ears are open to their cries; He sets his frowning face against The sons of violence and lies. 4 To humble souls and broken hearts, God with his grace is ever nigh; Pardon and hope his love imparts, When men in deep contrition lie. 5 He tells their tears, he counts their groans, His Son redeems their souls from death; His Spirit heals their broken bones, They in his praise employ their breath. Scripture: Psalm 34:11-22 Languages: English

Pause. 5 [O sinners! come and taste his love, Come, learn his pleasant ways, And let your own experience prove The sweetness of his grace. 6 He bids his angels pitch their tents Round where his children dwell, What ills their heav'nly care prevents No earthly tongue can tell.] 7 [O love the Lord, ye saints of his! His eye regards the just: How richly bless'd their portion is Who make the Lord their trust! 8 Young lions, pinch'd with hunger, roar, And famish in the wood: But God supplies his holy poor With every needful good] Scripture: Psalm 34:1-10 Languages: English

Come, children, learn to fear the Lord

Hymnal: DWIP1790 #76 (1790) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Come, children, learn to fear the Lord: And that your days be long, Let not a false or spiteful word Be found upon your tongue. 2 Depart from mischief, practice love, Pursue the works of peace, So shall the Lord your ways approve, And set your souls at ease. 3 His eyes awake to guard the just, His ears attend their cry; When broken spirits dwell in dust, The God of grace is nigh. 4 What though the sorrows here they taste Are sharp and tedious too, The Lord, who saves them all at last, Is their supporter now. 5 Evil shall smite the wicked dead; But God secures his own, Prevents the mischief when they slide, Or heals the broken bone. 6 When desolation like the flood, O'er the proud sinner rolls, Saints find a refuge in their God, For he redeem'd their souls. Scripture: Psalm 34:11-22 Languages: English
