Now to God, Our Strength and Savior

Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Disobedience Lyrics: 1 Now to God, our Strength and Savior, Render praise and loudly sing; In our fathers' God rejoicing, All your noblest music bring. 2 Let the trumpet, far resounding, This our festal day proclaim, By our fathers' God appointed, When from bondage Israel came. 3 I, thy God, removed thy burdens, When thou calledst, set thee free, Proved thee in the thirsty desert, In the thunder answered thee. 4 O My people, hear My pleadings; O that thou wouldst hearken now; No strange worship shalt thou offer, Nor to idols shalt thou bow. 5 I am God the Lord Who saved thee, And from cruel bondage freed; Open wide thy mouth of longing; I will satisfy thy need. 6 But My people would not hearken, Yea, they would not yield to Me; So I left them in their blindness, Their own counselors to be. 7 If My people would obey Me, Gladly walking in My ways, Soon would I, their foes subduing, Fill their lips with songs of praise. 8 All the haters of Jehovah Shall His clemency implore, And the days of those that love Him Shall endure forevermore. 9 Yea, with wheat the very finest I their hunger will supply, Bid the very rocks yield honey That shall fully satisfy.

O Come Before the Lord, Our King

Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Disobedience Lyrics: 1 O come before the Lord, our King, And in His presence let us sing; Let us in glad and joyful lays The Rock of our salvation praise; Before Him come with thankful song, In joyful psalms His praise prolong. 2 Almighty power the Lord maintains, Exalted over all He reigns; He holds the valleys in His hand, He makes the mighty mountains stand; To Him belong both land and sea, Creator of the world is He. 3 O come and let us worship now, Before our Maker let us bow; We are His sheep and He our God, He feeds our souls in pastures broad; He safely leads us in the way; O come and heed His voice today. 4 Take heed and harden not your heart As did your fathers, nor depart From God to follow in their ways; For with complaints instead of praise, With doubt instead of faith confessed, They put His mercy to the test. 5 Take heed that ye provoke Him not As did your fathers, who forgot, With erring heart, God's holy ways And grieved Him all their sinful days; To whom in wrath Jehovah sware, My promised rest they shall not share.

Emancipation from Spiritual Slavery

Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Disobedience First Line: Rebels, who had dared to show Lyrics: 1 Rebels, who had dared to show Proud contempt of God Most High, Bound in iron and in woe, Shades of death and darkness night, Humbled low with toil and pain, Fell, and looked for help in vain. 2 To Jehovah then they cried In their trouble, and He saved, Threw the prison open wide Where they lay to death enslaved, Bade the gloomy shadows flee, Broke their bonds and set them free. 3 Sons of men, awake to praise God the Lord Who reigns above, Gracious in His works and ways, Wondrous in redeeming love; Iron bars He breaks like clay, And the brazen gates give way.

Sin and Divine Patience

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Disobedience First Line: Their God and Saviour they forgot Lyrics: 1 Their God and Saviour they forgot, Their helper and their stay, But Moses plead the promised grace And turned God's wrath away. 2 Yea, they despised the pleasant land, The promised land of God, And tempted Him to make them fall And scatter them abroad. 3 They sacrificed to heathen gods, And God their sin repaid; Then holy wrath avenged the wrong, And so the plague was stayed. 4 The Lord approved the righteous act Of him who sin abhorred, And honored him for evermore With just and great reward. 5 By wicked strife they angered God, His wrath they did provoke; And, stirred by their rebellious cries, Their leader rashly spoke. 6 Ensnared, they served the heathen gods, And by them were beguiled; The blood of children sacrificed The very land defiled. 7 Against His own inheritance Jehovah's wrath arose, His chosen people He condemned To serve their heathen foes. 8 Though from their harsh oppressors' hand Ofttimes He set them free, Rebellious still, they were brought low In their iniquity. 9 When unto God they cried, he heard And turned again His face, In boundless love remembering The covenant of His grace. 10 He even touched their captors' hearts, And made their very foes Compassionate and pitiful To feel his people's woes. 11 Save us, O Lord, our gracious God, From alien lands reclaim That we may triumph in Thy praise And bless Thy holy Name. 12 Blessed be the Lord our covenant God, All praise to Him accord; Let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye, praise ye the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 106 Used With Tune: NOTTINGHAM

My People, Give Ear, Attend to My Word

Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 11 hymnals Topics: Disobedience Lyrics: 1 My people, give ear, attend to my word, In parables new deep truths shall be heard; The wonderful story our fathers made known To children succeeding by us must be shown. 2 Instructing our sons we gladly record The praises, the works, the might of the Lord, For He has commanded that what He has done Be passed in tradition from father to son. 3 Let children thus learn from history’s light To hope in our God and walk in His sight, The God of their fathers to fear and obey, And ne’er like their fathers to turn from His way. 4 The story be told, to warn and restrain, Of hearts that were hard, rebellious, and vain, Of soldiers who faltered when battle was near, Who kept not God’s covenant nor walked in His fear. 5 God’s wonderful works to them He had shown, His marvelous deeds their fathers had known; He made for their pathway the waters divide, His glorious pillar of cloud was their guide. 6 He gave them to drink, relieving their thirst, And forth from the rock caused water to burst; Yet faithless they tempted their God, and they said, Can He who gave water supply us with bread? 7 Jehovah was wroth because they forgot To hope in their God, and trusted Him not; Yet gracious, He opened the doors of the sky And rained down the manna in richest supply. 8 With bread from on high their need He supplied, And more did He do when thankless they sighed; The strong winds commanding from south and from east, He sent them abundance of quail for their feast. 9 Though well they were filled, their folly they chose, Till God in His wrath o’erwhelmed them with woes; He slew of their strongest and smote their young men, But still unbelieving they sinned even then. 10 Because of their sin He smote with His rod, And then they returned and sought for their God; Their Rock and Redeemer was God the Most High, Yet false were their praises, their promise a lie. 11 Not right with their God in heart and in will, They faithlessly broke His covenant still; But He, in compassion, reluctant to slay, Forgave them and oft turned His anger away. 12 His pity was great, though often they sinned, For they were but flesh, a swift passing wind; Yet though His compassion and grace they beheld, They tempted and grieved Him and often rebelled. 13 They limited God, the Most Holy One, And hindered the work His grace had begun; The hand that was mighty to save they forgot, The day of redemption remembering not. 14 Ungrateful and blind, no longer they thought Of wonders and signs and mighty deeds wrought, Of how all the rivers of Egypt ran red, And plagues in God’s anger were heaped on their head. 15 They thought not of how, their freedom to gain, In Egypt’s abodes the first-born were slain, And how all God’s people were led forth like sheep, The flock He delighted in safety to keep.
