PSALMS AND HYMNS

FOR THE CHRISTIAN SEASONS.

1

Psalm x. 13. Arise, O Lord, &c.

1 ARISE, O Lord, with healing rod, Lift up Thine hand and save, O God; Arise to help the meek: for why Should impious tongues Thy Name defy? 2 Aloud they boast, 'Our acts are free;

[ocr errors]

God hides His face: God will not see: But Thou hast seen: Thy piercing ray Through sin's dark windings flashes day. 3 Recorded by Thy righteous hand

The sinner's deeds for judgment stand: To Thee the poor commits his cause, His help from Thee the friendless draws: 4 Quell Thou the scornful arm, and beat The proud oppressor from his seat : Proclaim The reign of sin is o'er, The place that knew it knows no more. 5 O Lord the King of boundless might, The wicked perish from Thy sight: 'Tis Thine the drooping heart to cheer, The cries of praying saints to hear, 6 The orphan's injured canse to try, And, in Thy people's peril nigh,

To snatch them from the spoiler's rage, And guard their rightful heritage.

7 Praise God from whom all blessings flow, &c.

'Our tongues in matchless power excel, Our lips are strong; what lord have we? 3 He hears the poor man's deep-drawn sighs He sees the hearts that inly mourn, And Lo, I come,' He saith, 'I rise

To save thee from the tyrant's scorn.' 4 Thy Word is pure and perfect, Lord, As silver in the furnace tried : Seven times assayed, that holy Word

Seven times hath come forth purified. 5 The souls, O Lord, that with Thee walk Thy love will shield in evil hour, On every side though sinners stalk,

And baseness climbs to lofty power.

6 One God unseen, the Father, Son, &c.

3

Psalm xiii. How long wilt Thou forget me
O Lord, &c.

1 How long forgotten, Lord, by Thee,
Forbidden still Thy face to see,
Shall I, by daily grief distrest,
Take counsel with my doubtful breast?

2 How long amidst triumphant foes,
Who mock my agonising woes,

To heaven's high throne must I complain
And seek the Lord my God in vain?

3 Consider, Lord, and hear my cries,
Pour light upon my troubled eyes,
Lest, yielding up my weary breathi,
I sleep the dreamless sleep of death;

B

[blocks in formation]

How men on earth abode:

And none were there who loved His law,
None sought the living God.

3 With thoughts corrupt, and conscience seared,

In hateful ways they ran;

In all the world no good appeared,
Nor any righteous man.

4 How blinded are their hearts,' He said, Who live in sin and shame!

My people they devour as bread;
They call not on My Name.'

5 In vain ye strive, O race abborred,
In vain ye fret and rage;

For God is with His saints, the Lord
Amidst His heritage.

60 when will our redemption spring
From Zion's holy height?
O when to Salem will her King
Return with healing light?

7 When God shall hear His people's voice,
And break their galling chain,
The face of Jacob will rejoice,
And Israel smile again.

5 Psalm xxxvii. Fret not thyself, &c:

[blocks in formation]

3 To the Lord commit thy burden:

Trust Him; He will act for thee;
He will clear thy truth, as daylight,
And, as noon, thine equity.

4 Not in wrath and guilty malice
With the pampered sinner strive :
He shall perish, but the faithful,
Waiting for the Lord, shall live.
5 Pause awhile:-where now the scorner?
Seek him, he is found no more:
But the meek the land inherit,
Peace is theirs in plenteous store.
6 Glory be to God the Father, &c.

PART II.

7 Better is the good man's little

Than the sinner's large increase; For the Lord beats down the wicked, While the upright dwell in peace.

8 He will note the daily perils,

Guard the fortunes of the good:
Evil times shall never shame them,

Dearth shall never stint their food;
9 But the godless race shall vanish,
All whose sins the Lord provoke,
Failing as the lamb-cropt herbage,
As in air the gliding smoke.

10 Sinners borrow, and repay not,

Saints will lend with generous hand: Whom He curseth fade and perish, Whom He blesseth hold the land.

11 Glory be to God the Father, &c.

6

Psalm xxxvii. 23. The steps of a good
man are ordered by the Lord, &c.

1 LORD, Thou wilt guard with faithful love

The just man, whom Thine eyes approve;
Thy hand his footsteps will sustain,
And, if he fall, uplift again.

2 I have been young, and now am old,
Yet ne'er did I the meek behold
Of heaven abandoned, or his seed
Imploring at my gate for bread.

3 The good man's heart with pity glows:
The bounty that his hand bestows
Descends upon his distant race

In fruitful showers of heavenly grace.

4 Depart from ill, to good incline
Thy soul, and endless life be thine:
The Lord, to whom the truth is dear,
Forsakes no pious worshipper.

5 Soon shall His everlasting doom
The sinner and his race consume,
While happier saints from age to age
Possess His promised heritage.

6 The Father, Son, and Spirit bless, &c.

PART II.

Blest is the mouth by wisdom taught,
The good man's tongue, with justice
fraught:

The law of God, his inward guide,
Forbids his stedfast feet to slide.

8 I saw the sinner: bold was he,
Strong as a green deep-rooted tree:
I came again, his pride was o'er;
I sought him; he was found no more.

9 Great peace and comfort to the end
The perfect and the just attend :
The godless perish from the way:
The wicked have no future day.

10 The Lord defends the righteous seed,
He keeps them safe in time of need:
Safe from the cruel and unjust
He keeps them, for in Him they trust.
11 Praise we the Lord with choral hymn,
&c.

Psalm xlvi. God is our refuge and
strength, &c.

GOD, our Hope and Strength abiding,
Soothes our dread, exceeding nigh:
Fear we not the world subsiding,
Roots of mountains heaving high,
Darkly heaving

Where in Ocean's heart they lie.

2 Let them roar, his awful surges;

Let them boil- each dark-browed
hill

Tremble, where the proud wave urges:
Here is yet one quiet rill;
Her calm waters,

Zion's joy, flow clear and still:

3 Joy of God's abode, the station Where the Eternal fixed His tent:

God is there a strong salvation;

On her place she towers unbent.
God will aid her

Ere the stars of morn be spent.

4 Heathens rage, dominions tremble,
God spake out, earth melts away:
God is where our hosts assemble,
Jacob's God, our rock and stay.

Come, behold Him
O'er the wide earth wars allay.

5 Come, behold God's work of wonder,
Scaring, wasting earth below;
How He knapped the spear in sunder,
How He brake the warrior's bow.
Wild war-chariots'

Burn before Him, quenched as tow. 6 'Silence-for the Almighty know Me; O'er the heathen throned am I,

9

Throned where earth must crouch below

Me:'

Lord of Hosts, we know thee nigh:

God of Jacob,

Thou art still our Rock on high.

Psalm xc. Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling-place in all generations, &c.

1 LORD, Thou hast been Thy people's rest Through every generation:

Their refuge sure when peril pressed,
Their hope in tribulation:

Thou, ere the mountains sprang to birth,
Or ever thou hadst formed the earth,
Art God from everlasting.

2 The sons of men return to clay

When Thou the word hast spoken,
As with a torrent swept away,
Gone like a vision broken.
