Safety in God
Hymnal: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David #112b (1787) Topics: Trust in the Creatures vain; Trust in the Creatures vain First Line: When overwhelm'd with grief Lyrics: 1 When, overwhelm'd with grief,
My heart within me dies,
Helpless and far from all relief
To heaven I lift mine eyes.
2 O lead me to the rock
That’s high above my head,
And make the covert of thy wings
My shelter and my shade.
3 Within thy presence, Lord,
For ever I’ll abide;
Thou art the tower of my defence,
The refuge where I hide.
4 Thou givest me the lot
Of those that fear thy name;
If endless life be their reward,
I shall possess the same. Scripture: Psalm 61:1-6 Languages: English
Safety in God
Loud Hallelujahs to the Lord
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P148b (1766) Topics: Praise from all creatures Lyrics: 1 Loud Hallelujahs to the Lord,
From distant Worlds where Creatures dwell;
Let Heav'n begin the solemn Word,
And sound it dreadful down to Hell.
2 The Lord! how absolute he reigns!
Let ev'ry Angel bend the Knee;
Sing of his Love in heav'nly Strains,
And speak how fierce his Terrors be.
3 High on a Throne his Glories dwell,
An awful Throne of shining Bliss:
Fly through the World, O Sun, and tell
How dark thy Beams compar'd to his.
4 Awake ye Tempests, and his Fame
In Sounds of dreadful Praise declare;
And the sweet Whisper of his Name
Fill ev'ry gentler Breeze of Air.
5 Let Clouds, and Winds, and Waves agree
To join their Praise, with blazing Fire;
Let the firm Earth and rolling Sea
In this eternal song conspire.
6 Ye flow'ry Plains proclaim his Skill;
Vallies lie low before his Eye;
And let his Praise from ev'ry Hill
Rise tuneful to the neighb'ring Sky.
7 Ye stubborn Oaks, and stately Pines,
Bend your high Branches and adore:
Praise him, ye Beasts, in diff'rent Strains;
The Lamb must bleat, the Lion roar.
8 Birds, ye must make his Praise your Theme,
Nature demands a Song from you;
While the dumb Fish that cut the Stream
Leap up, and mean his Praises too.
9 Mortals, can you refrain your Tongue,
When Nature all around you sings?
O for a Shout from Old and Young,
From humble swains and lofty Kings!
10 Wide as his vast Dominion lies
Make the Creator's Name be known;
Loud as his Thunder shout his Praise,
And sound it lofty as his Throne.
11 Jehovah! 'tis a glorious Word,
O may it dwell on ev'ry Tongue!
But Saints, who best have known the Lord,
Are bound to raise the noblest Song.
12 Speak of the Wonders of that Love,
Which Gabriel plays on ev'ry Chord:
From all below, and all above,
Loud Hallelujahs to the Lord.
Scripture: Psalm 148 Languages: English
Loud Hallelujahs to the Lord
Let me but hear my Saviour say
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #201 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Dominion of man over creatures; Man dominion over creatures Lyrics:
Let me but hear my Savior say,
"Strength shall be equal to thy day,"
Then I rejoice in deep distress,
Leaning on all-sufficient grace.
I glory in infirmity,
That Christ's own power may rest on me:
When I am weak, then am I strong,
Grace is my shield, and Christ my song.
I can do all things, or can bear
All suff'rings, if my Lord be there;
Sweet pleasures mingle with the pains,
While his left hand my head sustains.
But if the Lord be once withdrawn,
And we attempt the work alone,
When new temptations spring and rise,
We find how great our weakness is.
[So Samson, when his hair was lost,
Met the Philistines to his cost;
Shook his vain limbs with sad surprise,
Made feeble fight, and lost his eyes.]
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 12:10 Languages: English
Let me but hear my Saviour say

Behold how sinners disagree
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #296 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Creatures no trust in them; Trust in the creatures vain Lyrics:
Behold how sinners disagree,
The publican and Pharisee!
One doth his righteousness proclaim,
The other owns his guilt and shame.
This man at humble distance stands,
And cries for grace with lifted hands
That boldly rises near the throne,
And talks of duties he has done.
The Lord their diff'rent language knows,
And diff'rent answers he bestows;
The humble soul with grace he crowns,
Whilst on the proud his anger frowns.
Dear Father! let me never be
Joined with the boasting Pharisee;
I have no merits of my own
But plead the suff'rings of thy Son.
Scripture: Luke 18:10 Languages: English

And Thou dost for their sustenance
With open hand provide.

And He is night to ev'ry one
That breathes the trustful prayer.

Shall full salvation know,
But wicked men and wicked ways
The Lord will overthrow.

Reasons for Praise
Hymnal: The Psalter #402 (1912) Topics: Providence of God Over His Creatures First Line: O sing ye Hallelujah! Lyrics: 1 O sing ye Hallelujah!
'Tis good our God to praise;
'Tis pleasant and becoming
To Him our songs to raise;
He builds the walls of Zion,
He seeks her wand'ring sons,
He binds their wounds and comforts
The brokenhearted ones.
2 The starry host He numbers,
He calls them all by name;
His greatness and His wisdom
His wondrous works proclaim;
The meek He lifts to honor,
he humbles sinful pride;
Give thanks to Him and utter
His praises far and wide.
3 The heav'ns with clouds He covers,
He sends the cheering rain;
The slopes of all the mountains
He fills with grass and grain;
To beast and bird His goodness
Their daily food supplies;
He cares for all His creatures,
Attentive to their cries.
4 No human pow'r delights Him,
No earthly pomp or pride;
He loves the meek who fear Him
And in His love confide;
Then praise thy God, O Zion,
His gracious aid confess;
He gives thee peace and plenty,
His gifts thy children bless.
5 He sends His swift commandment,
And snow and ice enfold
The world, and none are able
To stand before His cold.
Again He gives commandment;
The winds of summer blow,
The snow and ice are melted,
Again the waters flow.
6 His statutes and His judgments
He makes His people know;
To them as to no others
His grace He loves to show;
For matchless grace and mercy
Your grateful praises bring;
To Him give thanks forever,
And Hallelujah sing.
Scripture: Psalm 147 Languages: English Tune Title: HARTFORD

Kind is the speech of Christ our Lord
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #565 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Creatures no trust in them; Creatures vain, and God all-sufficient Lyrics:
Kind is the speech of Christ our Lord,
Affection sounds in every word:
Lo! thou art fair, my love," he cries,
"Not the young doves have sweeter eyes."
["Sweet are thy lips, thy pleasing voice
Salutes mine ear with secret joys;
No spice so much delights the smell,
Nor milk nor honey tastes so well.]
"Thou art all fair, my bride, to me,
I will behold no spot in thee."
What mighty wonders love performs,
And puts a comeliness on worms!
Defiled and loathsome as we are,
He makes us white, and calls us fair;
Adorns us with that heav'nly dress,
His graces and his righteousness.
"My sister and my spouse," he cries,
"Bound to my heart by various ties,
Thy powerful love my heart detains
In strong delight and pleasing chains."
He calls me from the leopard's den,
From this wild world of beasts and men,
To Zion, where his glories are;
Not Lebanon is half so fair.
Nor dens of prey, nor flowery plains,
Nor earthly joys, nor earthly pains,
Shall hold my feet or force my stay,
When Christ invites my soul away.
Scripture: Song of Solomon 4:1-11 Languages: English
Kind is the speech of Christ our Lord
