The Fullness which the World affords

Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 The Fullness which the World affords, The Earth and People are the LORD's; By him assign'd their Habitation: Establish'd on teh Seas it stands, The Floods by his Almighty Hands, For ever fixt a sure Foundation. 2 Oh! who shall to that Hill ascend, And low before thy Footstool bend; Where thou, O LORD, hast chose thy Dwelling? The Man whose Hands and Heart are free, From Blood, Deceit and Perjury. The Man in Purity excelling. 3 This is the Man, to whom the LORD, His saving Blessings will afford; And whom he'll crown with his Salvation; by such alone his Courts are trod, Who seeks the Face of Jacob's GOD; The happy chosen Generation. 4 Erect your Head, O Zion's Gate! Unfold to entertain in State, Receive your King in Might abounding, Who is this King of Glory, who? 'Tis he who triumphs o'er the foe, Their Ranks and Ruin wide confounding. 5 Lift up your Heads, ye Gates unfold! Eternal Gates, ye Doors of old, Receive your King, for Might renowned. Say, who that glorious King can be? Behold! the Lord of Hosts is he, The GOD who comes with Glory crowned.

My Soul for Help on GOD relies

Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 My Soul for Help on GOD relies, On GOD, who daily Strength supplies. To his blest Will I am resigned; From Him alone my Courage flows, To bear the Shock of all my Foes, When they against me are combined. 2 How long will ye my Fall contrive? How long will ye against me strive, And hasten on your own unding? You'll totter like a bending Wall, Like uncemented Stones shall fall, And lie involv'd in sudden Ruin. 3 They daily Lies against me frame, With Falshoods wound my spotless Name, In secret still my Fall designing: They strive to make my Honours less, Though with their Mouths they seem to bless, Their hearts to Curses are inclining. 4 But thou, my Soul, on GOD rely, Who does continual Strength supply; To his blest Will be thou resigned: From him alone my Courage flows, To bear the Shock of all my Foes, When they against me are combined. Part II 5 GOD does His saving Health dispense, He is my Fortress and Defence; My Soul on him alone depending: In him ye People always trust, For GOD, the merciful and just, His timely Aid is ever sending. 6 The Vulgar fickle are and frail; The great Ones oft in Judgment fail, Or else are treach'rously betraying: If in the Scale of Truth they're laid, 'Tis seen how lightly both are made, The smallest Trifles them outweighing. 7 Then trust not in oppressive Ways, Nor strive by lawless Force to raise, Your growing Heaps of ill-got Treasure: By Spoil and Rapine grow not vain, Nor let your Hearts on worldly Gain, Be fixt with such Delight and Pleasure. 8 For GOD has oft his Will express'd, And is of boundless Pow'r possess'd; In him are Grace and Truth united: Belongs, of Right, to God alone. Though Mercy is his Works takes Place, Yet for their Deeds, the human Race, Shall by his Justice be requited.
