Mercy and Judgment Are My Song
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4207 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Lyrics: 1. Mercy and judgment are my song;
And since they both to Thee belong,
My gracious God, my righteous king,
To Thee my songs and vows I bring.
2. If I am raised to bear the sword,
I’ll take my counsels from Thy Word;
Thy justice and Thy heavenly grace
Shall be the pattern of my ways.
3. Let wisdom all my actions guide
And let my God with me reside;
No wicked thing shall dwell with me
Which may provoke Thy jealousy.
4. No sons of slander, rage, and strife
Shall be companions of my life;
The haughty look, the heart of pride,
Within my doors shall ne’er abide.
5. I’ll search the land, and raise the just
To posts of honor, wealth, and trust;
The men that work Thy holy will
Shall be my friends and favorites still.
6. In vain shall sinners hope to rise
By flattering or malicious lies;
And while the innocent I guard,
The bold offender shan’t be spared.
7. The impious crew, that factious band,
Shall hide their heads or quit the land;
And all that break the public rest,
Where I have power, shall be suppressed. Languages: English Tune Title: QUEEN'S CROSS
Mercy and Judgment Are My Song
Vain Man, On Foolish Pleasures Bent
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12927 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal First Line: Vain man on foolish pleasures bent Lyrics: 1 Vain man on foolish pleasures bent,
Prepares for his own punishment;
What pains, what loathsome maladies,
From luxury and lust arise!
2 The drunkard feels his vitals waste,
Yet drowns his health to please his taste;
Till all his active powers are lost,
And fainting life draws near the dust.
3 The glutton groans, and loathes to eat,
His soul abhors delicious meat;
Nature, with heavy loads oppressed,
Would yield to death to be released.
4 Then how the frighted sinners fly,
To God for help with earnest cry!
He hears their groans, prolongs their breath,
And saves them from approaching death.
5 No medicines could effect the cure
So quick, so easy, or so sure:
The deadly sentence God repeals,
He sends His sovereign Word and heals.
6 O may the sons of men record
The wondrous goodness of the Lord!
And let their thankful offerings prove
How they adore their maker’s love. Languages: English Tune Title: QUEEN'S CROSS
