Desiring to praise God for the experience of his goodness

Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: The loving kindness of the Lord, delightful theme Scripture: Psalm 36:7 Lyrics: The loving kindness of the Lord, (Delightful theme!) demands my lays: Thou, worthy to be lov'd, ador'd, O teach my heart to sing thy praise! In vain my heart with pleasure tries, My God, to count thy mercies o'er; So numerous and so bright they rise, I gaze, I wonder, I adore! Yet, all the powers I have are thine, For thee, those powers I would employ; And dedicate to love divine, With humble gratitude and joy. The sweet experience of thy grace Which animates my voice to sing; Incites my soul to seek thy face, And trust the shelter of thy wing. Thy guardian wing alone can bless; I find repose and safety there; The kindest refuge of distress A sure relief in every care. O let the wretched sons of woe To thee apply, on thee depend: And bid the drooping mourners know In thee a never-failing friend. Could e'er one soul in deep distress That fled to thee for refuge say, "Indulgent mercy would not bless, and justice frown'd my hopes away?" Ah no, a thousand thousand tongues Thy love and truth, adoring own, And offer their united songs With grateful joy before thy throne. Not e'en those happy minds can trace, With all their powers renew'd, refin'd, The boundless glories of thy grace, O thou omnipotently kind! Ah how shall these poor languid powers With frail mortality opprest, Display the grace my soul adored? How speak the transports of the blest? Dear Lord, accept my heart's desire, Till death shall close these mortal days! Then bid me join the heavenly choir, And sing thy everlasting praise!

A Psalm of David, a Servant of the Lord

Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: The trespass of the wicked man Scripture: Psalm 36 Lyrics: 1 The trespass of the wicked man so plain and open lies; My heart concludes, the fear of GOD is not before his eyes. 2 For in his own deceitful view self-flatteries abound; Till his iniquity breaks out, and odious is found. 2 The words that issue from his mouth, are vain and guileful too; He quite hath ceased to be wise, and any good to do. 4 Yea, when he lies upon his bed, he mischief meditates; He set himself in no good way, nor any evil hates. [2 Part] 5 Thy mercy O JEHOVAH is within the heav'ns on high; Thy faithfulness does also reach above the cloudy sky. 6 Like mountains great thy righteousness! thy judgments a great deep! Both man and beast,Thou kindly LORD dost condescend to keep. 7 O GOD, thy loving-kindness is of wondrous excellence: Therefore in shadow of thy wings, men's sons put confidence. 8 Ev'n of the fatness of thy house, they to the full shall take; And of the stream of thy delights, to drink Thou wilt them make. 9 Because the flowing spring of life, ever abides in thee; And in thy light, the light of grace and glory we shall see. 10 O stretch thy loving-kindness forth to all who Thee do know; And to all those of upright heart thy righteousness still show. 11 I suffer not the foot of pride to make approach to me; Nor by the hand of wicked men let me removed be. 12 Lo, There they all are fallen down, who work iniquities; Down are they cast, and never shall be able to arise.

The wicked by his works unjust

Author: J. H. Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 36 Lyrics: 1 The wicked, by his works unjust doth thus persuade my heart, That in the Lord he hath no trust, his fear is set apart. 2 Yet doth he joy in his estate to walk as he began, So long till he deserves the hate of God as well as man. 3 His words are wicked, vile and naught, his tongue no truth doth tell; Yet at no hand will he be taught which way he may do well. 4 When he should sleep, then doth he muse his mischiefs to fulfill: No wicked way doth he refuse, nor any thing that's ill. 5 But, Lord, thy goodness doth ascend above the heav'ns most high, So doth thy truth itself extend unto the cloudy sky. 6 Much more than hills both high and steep thy justice is exprest; Thy judgments like the seas most deep: thou sav'st both man and beast. 7 Thy mercy is above all things, O God, it doth excel; In trust whereof, as in thy wings, the sons of men shall dwell. 8 Within thy house they shall be fed with plenty at their will, Of all delights they shall be sped, and take thereof their fill: 9 Because the well of life most pure doth ever flow from thee, And in thy light we are full sure eternal light to see. 10 From such as thee desire to know let not thy grace depart, Thy righteousness declare and show to men of upright heart. 11 Let not the proud on me prevail, O Lord, of thy good grace; Nor let the wicked me assail to throw me out of place. 12 But they in their device shall fall, that wicked works maintain; They shall be certainly cast down, and never rise again.
