Psalm 89

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 49 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 89 First Line: For ever shall my song record Lyrics: For ever shall my song record The truth and mercy of the Lord; Mercy and truth for ever stand, Like heav'n, established by his hand. Thus to his Son he sware, and said, "With thee my cov'nant first is made; In thee shall dying sinners live, Glory and grace are thine to give. "Be thou my Prophet, thou my Priest; Thy children shall be ever blest; Thou art my chosen King: thy throne Shall stand eternal like my own. "There's none of all my sons above So much my image or my love; Celestial powers thy subjects are: Then what can earth to thee compare? "David, my servant, whom I chose To guard my flock, to crush my foes, And raised him to the Jewish throne, Was but a shadow of my Son." Now let the church rejoice and sing Jesus, her Savior and her King; Angels his heav'nly wonders show, And saints declare his works below.

When all thy mercies, O my God

Author: Addison Appears in 997 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 89:1 Lyrics: 1 When all thy mercies, O my God, My rising soul surveys, Transported with the view, I'm lost In wonder, love, and praise. Unnumbered comforts on my soul Thy tender care bestowed, Before my infant heart conceived From whom those comforts flowed. 2 When in the slippery paths of youth With heedless steps I ran, Thine arm, unseen, conveyed me safe, And led me up to man. Ten thousand thousand precious gifts My daily thanks employ; Nor is the least a cheerful heart, That tastes those gifts with joy. 3 Through every period of my life, Thy goodness I'll pursue; And after death, in distant worlds, The glorious theme renew. Through all eternity, to thee A joyful song I'll raise: But oh, eternity's too short To utter all thy praise! Topics: General Praise; Gratitude

Psalm 89: God's mercies I will ever sing

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 11 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 89 First Line: God's mercies I will ever sing Lyrics: 1God’s mercies I will ever sing; and with my mouth I shall Thy faithfulness make to be known to generations all. 2For mercy shall be built, said I, for ever to endure; Thy faithfulness, ev’n in the heav’ns, thou wilt establish sure. 3I with my chosen One have made a cov’nant graciously; And to my servant, whom I lov’d, to David sworn have I; 4That I thy seed establish shall for ever to remain, And will to generations all thy throne build and maintain. 5The praises of thy wonders, Lord, the heavens shall express; And in the congregation of saints thy faithfulness. 6For who in heaven with the Lord may once himself compare? Who is like God among the sons of those that mighty are? 7Great fear in meeting of the saints is due unto the Lord; And he of all about him should with rev’rence be ador’d. 8O thou that art the Lord of hosts, what Lord in mightiness Is like to thee? who compass’d round art with thy faithfulness. 9Ev’n in the raging of the sea thou over it dost reign; And when the waves thereof do swell, thou stillest them again. 10Rahab in pieces thou didst break, like one that slaughter’d is; And with thy mighty arm thou hast dispers’d thine enemies. 11The heav’ns are thine, thou for thine own the earth dost also take; The world, and fulness of the same, thy pow’r did found and make. 12The north and south from thee alone their first beginning had; Both Tabor mount and Hermon hill shall in thy name be glad. 13Thou hast an arm that’s full of pow’r, thy hand is great in might; And thy right hand exceedingly exalted is in height. 14Justice and judgment of thy throne are made the dwelling-place; Mercy, accompany’d with truth, shall go before thy face. 15O greatly bless’d the people are the joyful sound that know; In brightness of thy face, O Lord, they ever on shall go. 16They in thy name shall all the day rejoice exceedingly; And in thy righteousness shall they exalted be on high. 17Because the glory of their strength doth only stand in thee; And in thy favour shall our horn and pow’r exalted be. 18For God is our defence; and he to us doth safety bring: The Holy One of Israel is our almighty King. 19In vision to thy Holy One thou saidst, I help upon A strong one laid; out of the folk I rais’d a chosen one; 20Ev’n David, I have found him out a servant unto me; And with my holy oil my King anointed him to be. 21With whom my hand shall stablish’d be; mine arm shall make him strong. 22On him the foe shall not exact, nor son of mischief wrong. 23I will beat down before his face all his malicious foes; I will them greatly plague who do with hatred him oppose. 24My mercy and my faithfulness with him yet still shall be; And in my name his horn and pow’r men shall exalted see. 25His hand and pow’r shall reach afar; I’ll set it in the sea; And his right hand established shall in the rivers be. 26Thou art my Father, he shall cry, thou art my God alone; And he shall say, Thou art the Rock of my salvation. 27I’ll make him my first-born, more high than kings of any land. 28My love I’ll ever keep for him, my cov’nant fast shall stand. 29His seed I by my pow’r will make for ever to endure; And, as the days of heav’n, his throne shall stable be, and sure. 30But if his children shall forsake my laws, and go astray, And in my judgments shall not walk, but wander from my way: 31If they my laws break, and do not keep my commandements; 32I’ll visit then their faults with rods, their sins with chastisements. 33Yet I’ll not take my love from him, nor false my promise make. 34My cov’nant I’ll not break, nor change what with my mouth I spake. 35Once by my holiness I sware, to David I’ll not lie; 36His seed and throne shall, as the sun, before me last for aye. 37It, like the moon, shall ever be establish’d stedfastly; And like to that which in the heav’n doth witness faithfully. 38But thou, displeased, hast cast off, thou didst abhor and loathe; With him that thine anointed is thou hast been very wroth. 39Thou hast thy servant’s covenant made void, and quite cast by; Thou hast profan’d his crown, while it cast on the ground doth lie. 40Thou all his hedges hast broke down, his strong holds down hast torn. 41He to all passers-by a spoil, to neighbours is a scorn. 42Thou hast set up his foes’ right hand; mad’st all his en’mies glad: 43Turn’d his sword’s edge, and him to stand in battle hast not made. 44His glory thou hast made to cease, his throne to ground down cast; 45Shorten’d his days of youth, and him with shame thou cover’d hast. 46How long, Lord, wilt thou hide thyself? for ever, in thine ire? And shall thine indignation burn like unto a fire? 47Remember, Lord, how short a time I shall on earth remain: O wherefore is it so that thou has made all men in vain? 48What man is he that liveth here, and death shall never see? Or from the power of the grave what man his soul shall free? 49Thy former loving-kindnesses, O Lord, where be they now? Those which in truth and faithfulness to David sworn hast thou? 50Mind, Lord, thy servant’s sad reproach; how I in bosom bear The scornings of the people all, who strong and mighty are. 51Wherewith thy raging enemies reproach’d, O Lord, think on; Wherewith they have reproach’d the steps of thine anointed one. 52All blessing to the Lord our God let be ascribed then: For evermore so let it be. Amen, yea, and amen.

Refrain: Yes, I’ll sing the wondrous story Of the Christ Who died for me, Sing it with the saints in glory, Gathered by the crystal sea. 2 I was lost, but Jesus found me, Found the sheep that went astray, Threw His loving arms around me, Drew me back into His way. [Refrain] 3 I was bruised, but Jesus healed me, Faint was I from many a fall, Sight was gone, and fears possessed me, But He freed me from them all. [Refrain] 4 Days of darkness still come o’er me, Sorrow’s path I often tread, But His presence still is with me; By His guiding hand I’m led.
