No Glory, LORD, we claim

Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Description of Confidence of Believers in Dangers Lyrics: 1 No Glory, LORD, we claim; But to thy sacred Name Be all the Praise addressed; Thou, who dost ever prove The GOD of Truth an dLOVE, Hath us in Mercy blessed. 2 Why should the Heathen say, "Where doth their GOD delay? "Why are they not released?" Our GOD, who dwells on high, The Sov'reign of the Sky, Hath done whate'er him pleased. 3 Their golden Idol stands, The Work of mortal Hands, It's Mouth no Words expressing; It hath both Eyes and Ears, Yet neither sees nor hears; It's Nose no Smell possessing. 4 Its Hands but useless prove, It's Feet can never move, To one fix'd Place confined; Though Idols senseless are, As stupid they appear, Who them for Gods designed. 5 Israel, on GOD depend, Who only can defend, And succour the Distressed; Priests, Levites, him alone Your GOD and Saviour own; To him be Praise addressed. 6 All ye that fear the LORD, Trust in his holy Word, On him with Faith relying: 'Tis he doth Comfort yield, He is your Help and Shield, Your Wants he's still supplying. 7 We have his Goodness seen, And GOD hath mindful been, Of Israel; he hath blessed Priest, Levites, great and small, His Proselytes, ev'n all, Who hath his Name confessed. 8 For you, and for your Heirs, His Blessing he prepares, Who made both Earth and Heaven; The Skies are all his own, This World he fran'd alone, Which he to us hath given. 9 The Dead, O righteous LORD! To thee no Praise afford, In silent Shades confined: But we will evermore, Thy glorious Name adore, With Hearts to thee resigned. Scripture: Psalm 115 Used With Tune: [No Glory, Lord, we claim]

Thy Mercy, LORD, to me extend

Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Description of Confidence of Believers in Dangers Lyrics: 1 Thy Mercy, LORD, to me extend, Against my Foes my Life defend; Base Men perpetual Strive renewing, With daily Wrongs are me pursuing: Continually my spiteful Foes, To ruin me, with Joy combine; Thou seest, who sit'st enthron'd on high, What mighty Hosts against me join. 2 But though sometimes surpriz'd with Fear, When first I think the Danger near; Yet have I still on thee depended, That my just Cause should be defended: GOD's faithful Promise I shall praise, On which I stedfastly rely; In GOD I trust, and trusting him, The strongest Arm of Flesh defy. 3 My Words they purposely mistake, And by perverting, make them speak A Meaning which I ne'er designed; Thus are their Thoughts to Ill inclined. In close Assemblies they combine, And then most wicked Projects lay; They watch my Steps, and lie in wait To make my harmless Soul their Prey. 4 LORD, wilt thou not such Wrongs regard, Shall they not meet their just Reward! As they have treach'rous Things devised, So let them be by thee castised. Thou numb'rset all my wand'ring Steps, Since I was first compell'd to flee, My very Tears are treasur'd up, O GOD! and registr'd by thee. 5 My Foes shall be therefore be o'erthrown; For GOD my righteous Cause will own; And since to him my Pray'rs directed, I know that I shall be protected. I'll trust GOD's Word, and so despise, Whatever Force Mankind can raise: To thee, O GOD! my Vows are due, To thee alone I'll render Praise. 6 Thou, LORD, shalt and make my Footsteps sure, Thou, LORD, shalt make my Life secure; My Soul from Death thou hast retrieved, And from surrounding Foes relieved, That thus protected by thy Pow'r, I may this Light in Peace enjoy, And in the Service of my GOD, My lengthen'd Days secure employ. Scripture: Psalm 56 Used With Tune: [Thy mercy, Lord, to me extend]

Why go I mourning all the day, While foes oppress and scoff, While foes oppress and scoff? 3 O send Thou forth Thy light and truth, Let them be guides to me, And bring me to Thy holy hill, Thy dwelling-place to see, Thy dwelling-place to see. 4 Then will I to God's altar go, To God, my boundless joy; Yea, God, my God, Thy Name to praise My harp I will employ, My harp I will employ. 5 Why art thou then cast down, my soul, What should discourage thee? And why with vexing tho'ts art thou Disquieted in me, Disquieted in me? 6 Hope thou in God; His praise shall yet My thankful lips employ; He is the spring of all my health, My God, my boundless joy, My God, my boundless joy.

God the Righteous Judge

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: Faith Confidence of First Line: O Lord, Thou Judge of all the earth Lyrics: 1 O Lord, Thou Judge of all the earth, To Whom all vengeance doth belong, Arise and show Thy glory forth, Requite the proud, condemn the wrong. 2 How long, O Lord, in boastful pride Shall wicked men triumphant stand? How long shall they afflict Thy saints And devastate Thy chosen land? 3 The widow and the fatherless They slay, and helpless strangers smith; The faithful God they do not fear, They say the Lord will not requite. 4 Be wise, ye fools and brutish men; Shall not He see Who formed the eye? Shall not He hear Who formed the ear, And judge, Who reigneth, God Most High? 5 The Lord will judge in righteousness, From Him all truth and knowledge flow; The foolish thoughts of wicked men, How vain they are the Lord doth know. 6 That man is blest whom Thou, O Lord, With chastening hand dost teach Thy will, For in the day when sinners fall That man in peace abideth still. 7 The Lord will not cast off His own, Nor His inheritance forsake; Just judgment shall at length prevail, And upright hearts shall courage take. 8 Who will arise for my defense Against the wicked in the land? Against iniquity and wrong What man for me will valiant stand? 9 Unless the Lord had been my help, My life had quickly passed away; But when my foot had almost slipped, O Lord, Thy mercy was my stay. 10 Amid the doubts that fill my mind Thy comforts, Lord, bring joy to me; Can wickedness, though throned in might, Have fellowship, O Lord, with Thee? 11 The wicked, in their might arrayed, Against the righteous join their power, But to the Lord I flee for help, He is my refuge and my tower. 12 Our God, the refuge of His saints, Will fight against iniquity; Avenger of the innocent The Lord omnipotent will be. Scripture: Psalm 94 Used With Tune: LYTHAM
