Psalm 50 Part 1

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 100 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 50:1-6 First Line: The Lord, the Judge, before his throne Lyrics: The Lord, the Judge, before his throne Bids the whole earth draw nigh, The nations near the rising sun, And near the western sky. No more shall bold blasphemers say, "Judgment will ne'er begin;" No more abuse his long delay To impudence and sin. Throned on a cloud our God shall come, Bright flames prepare his way; Thunder and darkness, fire and storm, Lead on the dreadful day. Heav'n from above his call shall hear, Attending angels come, And earth and hell shall know and fear His justice and their doom. "But gather all my saints," he cries, "That made their peace with God By the Redeemer's sacrifice, And sealed it with his blood. "Their faith and works, brought forth to light Shall make the world confess, My sentence of reward is right, And heav'n adore my grace."

Psalm 50 Part 3

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 51 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 50 First Line: The Lord, the Judge, his churches warns Lyrics: The Lord, the Judge, his churches warns, Let hypocrites attend and fear, Who place their hope in rites and forms, But make not faith nor love their care. Vile wretches dare rehearse his name With lips of falsehood and deceit; A friend or brother they defame, And soothe and flatter those they hate. They watch to do their neighbors wrong, Yet dare to seek their Maker's face; They take his cov'nant on their tongue, But break his laws, abuse his grace. To heav'n they lift their hands unclean, Defiled with lust, defiled with blood; By night they practise every sin, By day their mouths draw near to God. And while his judgments long delay, They grow secure and sin the more; They think he sleeps as well as they, And put far off the dreadful hour. O dreadful hour! when God draws near And sets their crimes before their eyes! His wrath their guilty souls shall tear, And no deliv'rer dare to rise. Topics: Judgment day; Sinner and saint's portion; God the judge; Hypocrites and hypocrisy; Sins of tongue; Formal worship; Obedience better than sacrifice; Professions false; Saints rewarded at last

Psalm 50

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 70 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 50 First Line: The God of glory sends his summons forth Lyrics: The God of glory sends his summons forth, Calls the south nations and awakes the north; From east to west the sovereign orders spread, Through distant worlds and regions of the dead: The trumpet sounds; hell trembles; heav'n rejoices Lift up your heads, ye saints, with cheerful voices. No more shall atheists mock his long delay; His vengeance sleeps no more; behold the day: Behold, the Judge descends; his guards are nigh; Tempests and fire attend him down the sky. When God appears, all nature shall adore him; While sinners tremble, saints rejoice before him. "Heav'n, earth, and hell, draw near; let all things come To hear my justice, and the sinner's doom; But gather first my saints," the Judge commands, "Bring them, ye angels, from their distant lands." When Christ returns, wake every cheerful passion And shout, ye saints; he comes for your salvation. "Behold, my cov'nant stands for ever good, Sealed by th' eternal Sacrifice in blood, And signed with all their names; the Greek, the Jew, That paid the ancient worship or the new." There's no distinction here; join all your voices, And raise your heads, ye saints, for heav'n rejoices. "Here," saith the Lord, "ye angels, spread their thrones And near me seat my fav'rites and my sons: Come, my redeemed, possess the joys prepared Ere time began; 'tis your divine reward." When Christ returns, wake every cheerful passion; And shout, ye saints; he comes for your salvation "I am the Savior, I th' Almighty God, I am the Judge: ye heav'ns, proclaim abroad My just eternal sentence, and declare Those awful truths that sinners dread to hear." When God appears, all nature shall adore him; While sinners tremble, saints rejoice before him. "Stand forth, thou bold blasphemer, and profane, Now feel my wrath, nor call my threat'nings vain: Thou hypocrite, once dressed in saints' attire, I doom the painted hypocrite to fire." Judgment proceeds; hell trembles; heav'n rejoices; Lift up your heads, ye saints, with cheerful voices. "Not for the want of goats or bullocks slain Do I condemn thee; bulls and goats are vain Without the flame of love; in vain the store Of brutal off'rings, that were mine before." Earth is the Lord's, all nature shall adore him; While sinners tremble, saints rejoice before him. "If I were hungry, would I ask thee food? When did I thirst, or drink thy bullocks' blood? Mine are the tamer beasts and savage breed, Flocks, herds, and fields and forests where they feed." All is the Lord's, he rules the wide creation; Gives sinners vengeance, and the saints salvation. "Can I be flatter'd with thy cringing bows, Thy solemn chatt'rings and fantastic vows? Are my eyes charmed thy vestments to behold, Glaring in gems, and gay in woven gold?" God is the Judge of hearts, no fair disguises Can screen the guilty when his vengeance rises. "Unthinking wretch! how couldst thou hope to please A God, a Spirit, with such toys as these, While, with my grace and statutes on thy tongue, Thou lov'st deceit, and dost thy brother wrong?" Judgment proceeds; hell trembles; heav'n rejoices; Lift up your heads, ye saints, with cheerful voices. "In vain to pious forms thy zeal pretends; Thieves and adulterers are thy chosen friends; While the false flatt'rer at my altar waits, His hardened soul divine instruction hates." God is the Judge of hearts, no fair disguises Can screen the guilty when his vengeance rises. "Silent I waited with long-suff'ring love; But didst thou hope that I should ne'er reprove? And cherish such an impious thought within, That the All-Holy would indulge thy sin?" See, God appears; all nature joins t' adore him; Judgment proceeds, and sinners fall before him. "Behold my terrors now; my thunders roll, And thy own crimes affright thy guilty soul; Now like a lion shall my vengeance tear Thy bleeding heart, and no deliv'rer near." Judgment concludes; hell trembles; heav'n rejoices; Lift up your heads, ye saints, with cheerful voices. Sinners, awake betimes; ye fools, be wise; Awake before this dreadful morning rise; Change your vain thoughts, your crooked works amend, Fly to the Savior, make the Judge your friend: Then join the saints, wake every cheerful passion; When Christ returns, he comes for your salvation. Topics: Judgment day; Sinner and saint's portion; God the judge; Hypocrites and hypocrisy; Sins of tongue; Formal worship; Obedience better than sacrifice; Professions false; Saints rewarded at last

"Not for the want of bullocks slain Will I the world reprove; Altars, and rites, and forms are vain, Without the fire of love. "And what have hypocrites to do To bring their sacrifice? They call my statutes just and true, But deal in theft and lies. "Could you expect to 'scape my sight, And sin without control? But I shall bring your crimes to light, With anguish in your soul." Consider, ye that slight the Lord, Before his wrath appear, If once you fall beneath his sword, There's no deliv'rer there.

Psalm 50: The mighty God, the Lord

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 27 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 50 First Line: The mighty God, the Lord Lyrics: 1The mighty God, the Lord, hath spoken, and did call The earth, from rising of the sun, to where he hath his fall. 2From out of Sion hill, which of excellency And beauty the perfection is, God shined gloriously. 3Our God shall surely come, keep silence shall not he: Before him fire shall waste, great storms shall round about him be. 4Unto the heavens clear he from above shall call, And to the earth likewise, that he may judge his people all. 5Together let my saints unto me gather’d be, Those that by sacrifice have made a covenant with me. 6And then the heavens shall his righteousness declare: Because the Lord himself is he by whom men judged are. 7My people Isr’el hear, speak will I from on high, Against thee I will testify; God, ev’n thy God, am I. 8I for thy sacrifice no blame will on thee lay, Nor for burnt-off ‘rings, which to me thou offer’dst ev’ry day. 9I’ll take no calf nor goats from house or fold of thine: 10For beasts of forests, cattle all on thousand hills, are mine. 11The fowls on mountains high are all to me well known; Wild beasts which in the fields do lie, ev’n they are all mine own. 12Then, if I hungry were, I would not tell it thee; Because the world, and fulness all thereof, belongs to me. 13Will I eat flesh of bulls? or goats’ blood drink will I? 14Thanks offer thou to God, and pay thy vows to the most High. 15And call upon me when in trouble thou shalt be; I will deliver thee, and thou my name shalt glorify. 16But to the wicked man God saith, My laws and truth Should’st thou declare? how dar’st thou take my cov’nant in thy mouth? 17Sith thou instruction hat’st, which should thy ways direct; And sith my words behind thy back thou cast’st, and dost reject. 18When thou a thief didst see, with him thou didst consent; And with the vile adulterers partaker on thou went. 19Thou giv’st thy mouth to ill, thy tongue deceit doth frame; 20Thou sitt’st, and ‘gainst thy brother speak’st, thy mother’s son dost shame. 21Because I silence kept, while thou these things hast wrought; That I was altogether like thyself, hath been thy thought; Yet I will thee reprove, and set before thine eyes, In order ranked, thy misdeeds and thine iniquities. 22Now, ye that God forget, this carefully consider; Lest I in pieces tear you all, and none can you deliver. 23Whoso doth offer praise me glorifies; and I Will shew him God’s salvation, that orders right his way.

The Lord hath spoke, the mighty God

Appears in 19 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 50 Lyrics: 1 The Lord hath spoke, the mighty God 2 Hath sent his Summons all abroad, From dawning Light, till Day declines: The list'ning Earth his Voice hath heard, And he from Sion hath appear'd, Where Beauty in Perfection shines. 3,4 Our God shall come, and keep no more Misconstru'd Silence, as before; But wasting Flames before Him send; Around shall Tempests fiercely rage, While He does Heav'n and Earth engage His just Tribunal to attend. 5,6 Assemble all my Saints to me (Thus runs the great divine Decree), That in my lasting Cov'nant live; And Off'rings bring with constant Care: (The Heav'n's His Justice shall declare; For God himself shall Sentence give). 7 Attend, my People; Israel, hear; Thy strong Accuser I'll appear; Thy God, thy only God, am I; 8 'Tis not of Off'rings I complain, Which, daily in my Temple slain, My sacred Altar did supply. 9 Will this alone Atonement make? No Bullock from thy Stall I'll take, Nor He-goat from thy Fold accept: 10 The Forest Beasts, that range alone, The Cattle too, are all my own, That on a thousand Hills are kept, 11 I know the Fowls, that build their nests In craggy Rocks; and savage Beasts, That loosely haunt the open Fields: 12 If seiz'd with Hunger I could be, I need not seek Relief from thee, Since the World's mine, and all it yields. 13 Think'st thou that I have any Need On slaughter'd Bulls and Goats to feed, To eat their Flesh, and drink their Blood? 14 The Sacrifices I require, Are Hearts which Love and Zeal inspire, And Vows with strictest Care made good. 15 In Time of Trouble call on me, And I will set thee safe and free; And thou Returns of Praise shalt make. 16 But to the Wicked thus saith God: How dar'st thou teach my Laws abroad, Or in thy Mouth my cov'nant take? 17 For stubborn thou, confirm'd in sin, Hast Proof against Instruction been, And of my word didst lightly speak: 18 When thou a subtle Thief didst see, Thou gladly didst with him agree, And with Adult'rers didst partake. 19 Vile Slander is thy chief Delight; Thy Tongue, by Envy mov'd, and spite, Deceitful Tales does hourly spread. 20 Thou dost with hateful Scandals wound Thy Brother, and with Lyes confound The Offspring of thy Mother's Bed. 21 These Things didst thou, whom still I strove To gain with Silence, and with Love; Till thou didst wickedly surmise, That I was such a one as thou: But I'll reprove and shame thee now, And set thy Sins before thine Eyes. 22 Mark this, ye wicked Fools, lest I Let all my Bolts of Vengeance fly, While none shall dare your Cause to own: 23 Who praises me, due Honour gives; And to the Man that justly lives, My strong Salvation shall be shown.
