• [Mzm 73:1] O God, How Good Thou Art

  O God, how good Thou art To all the pure of heart, Though life seems vain. Burdened with anxious care, I groped in dark despair, Till in Thy house of prayer, All was made plain. Ever, O Lord, with Thee, All shall be well with me, Held by Thy hand. And Thou wilt guide my feet By Thine own counsel sweet, Till I, for glory meet, In glory stand. In earth or Heaven above Who is there that I love Compared with Thee? My heart may faint with fears, But God my strength appears, And will to endless years My portion be. O it is good that I May still to God draw nigh, As oft before. The Lord Jehovah blessed, My refuge and my rest, Shall be in praised confessed Forevermore.

• [Mzm 73:2] God Loveth The Righteous

  God loveth the righteous, His goodness is sure. He never forsaketh the good and the pure. Yet once my faith faltered, I envied the proud, In doubt and disquiet my spirit was bowed. The wicked are prosperous and firm in their strength, No pangs do they suffer, though death come at length. They are not in trouble as other men are, The plagues of their fellows they view from afar. In garments of boasting and violence decked, With wealth more abundant than heart could expect, They scoff, and the helpless they proudly oppress. The heavens and the earth they assume to possess. Despising God’s people, they cause them to drain The cup of oppression, injustice and pain. They question God’s knowledge and boldly defy The might and the justice of God the Most High. The wicked, grown wealthy, have comfort and peace, While I, daily chastened, see troubles increase, And, wronging God’s children, I cried in my pain, That clean hands are worthless and pure hearts are vain. I went to God’s temple: my doubts were dispelled. The end of life’s journey I clearly beheld. I saw in what peril ungodly men stand, With sudden destruction and ruin at hand. As when one waking forgetteth his dream, So God will despise them, though great they may seem. My envy was senseless; my grief was for naught. Because I was faithless, and foolish my thought.

• [Mzm 73:23] Hold Thou My Hand

  Hold Thou my hand; so weak I am, and helpless, I dare not take one step without Thy aid; Hold Thou my hand; for then, O loving Savior, No dread of ill shall make my soul afraid. Hold Thou my hand, and closer, closer draw me To Thy dear self—my hope, my joy, my all; Hold Thou my hand, lest haply I should wander, And, missing Thee, my trembling feet should fall. Hold Thou my hand; the way is dark before me Without the sunlight of Thy face divine; But when by faith I catch its radiant glory, What heights of joy, what rapturous songs are mine! Hold Thou my hand, that when I reach the margin Of that lone river Thou didst cross for me, A heavenly light may flash along its waters, And every wave like crystal bright shall be.

  O take my hand, dear Father, and lead Thou me, Till at my journey’s ending I dwell with Thee. Alone I cannot wander one single day, So do Thou guide my footsteps on life’s rough way. O cover with Thy mercy my poor, weak heart, Lest I in joy or sorrow from Thee depart. Permit Thy child to linger here at Thy feet, Thy goodness blindly trusting with faith complete. Though oft Thy power but faintly may stir my soul, With Thee, my Light in darkness, I reach the goal. Take then my hand, dear Father, and lead Thou me, Till at my journey’s ending I dwell with Thee.

• [Mzm 73:23] Why Should Cross And Trial Grieve Me?

  Why should cross and trial grieve me? Christ is near with His cheer, Never will He leave me. Who can rob me of the Heaven That God’s Son for my own To my faith hath given? Though a heavy cross I’m bearing And my heart feels the smart, Shall I be despairing? God, my Helper, who doth send it, Well doth know all my woe And how best to end it. Hopeful, cheerful, and undaunted Everywhere they appear Who in Christ are planted. Death itself cannot appall them, They rejoice when the voice Of their Lord doth call them. Death cannot destroy forever; From our fears, cares and tears It will us deliver. It will close life’s mournful story, Make a way that we may Enter heavenly glory. What is all this life possesses? But a hand full of sand That the heart distresses. Noble gifts that pall me never Christ, our Lord, will accord To His saints forever. Lord, my Shepherd, take me to Thee. Thou art mine; I was Thine Even ere I knew Thee. I am Thine, for Thou hast bought me; Lost I stood, but Thy blood Free salvation bought me. Thou art mine; I love and own Thee. Light of Joy, ne’er shall I From my heart dethrone Thee. Savior, let me soon behold Thee Face to face—may Thy grace Evermore enfold me!

  Jesus, Thou art mine forever, Dearer far than earth to me; Neither life nor death shall sever Those sweet ties which bind to Thee. All were drear to me and lonely If Thy presence gladdened not; While I sing to Thee, Thee only, Mine’s an ever blissful lot. Thou alone art all my Treasure, Who hast died that I may live; Thou conferrest noblest pleasure, Who dost all my sins forgive. Brightest gems and fairest flowers Lose their beauty in Thy frown; Joy and peace, like balmy showers, In Thy smile come gently down. Jesus, Thou art mine forever; Never suffer me to stray. Let me in my weakness never Cast my priceless pearl away. Lamb of God, I do implore Thee, Guard, support me, lest I fall. Let me evermore adore Thee; Be my everlasting All.

There’s nothing here deserves my joys, There’s nothing like my God. In vain the bright, the burning sun Scatters his feeble light; ’Tis Thy sweet beams create my noon; If Thou withdraw, ’tis night. And whilst upon my restless bed, Amongst the shades I roll, If my Redeemer shows His head, ’Tis morning with my soul. To Thee we owe our wealth, and friends, And health, and safe abode: Thanks to Thy Name for meaner things, But they are not my God. How vain a toy is glitt’ring wealth, If once compared to Thee! Or what’s my safety, or my health, Or all my friends to me? Were I possessor of the earth, And called the stars my own, Without Thy graces and Thyself I were a wretch undone. Let others stretch their arms like seas And grasp in all the shore, Grant me the visits of Thy face, And I desire no more.

Amid Thy courts are lifted high The standards of the foe, And impious hands with axe and fire Have laid Thy temple low, Have laid Thy temple low.

  To God I cried with mournful voice, I sought His gracious ear, In the sad day when troubles rose, And filled the night with fear. Sad were my days, and dark my nights, My soul refused relief; I thought on God the just and wise, But thoughts increased my grief. Still I complained, and still oppressed, My heart began to break; My God, Thy wrath forbade my rest, And kept my eyes awake. My overwhelming sorrows grew, Till I could speak no more; Then I within myself withdrew, And called Thy judgments o’er. I called back years and ancient times When I beheld Thy face; My spirit searched for secret crimes That might withhold Thy grace. I called Thy mercies to my mind Which I enjoyed before; And will the Lord no more be kind? His face appear no more? Will He for ever cast me off? His promise ever fail? Has He forgot His tender love? Shall anger still prevail? But I forbid this hopeless thought; This dark, despairing frame, Rememb’ring what Thy hand hath wrought; Thy hand is still the same. I’ll think again of all Thy ways, And talk Thy wonders o’er; Thy wonders of recovering grace, When flesh could hope no more. Grace dwells with justice on the throne; And men that love Thy Word Have in Thy sanctuary known The counsels of the Lord.

  In time of tribulation, hear, Lord, my feeble cries; With humble supplication to Thee my spirit flies; My heart with grief is breaking, scarce can my voice complain; Mine eyes with tears kept waking, still watch and weep in vain. The days of old, in vision, bring banished bliss to view; The years of lost fruition, their joys in pangs renew; Remembered songs of gladness, through nights lone silence brought, Strike notes of deeper sadness, and stir desponding thought. Hath God cast off forever? Can time His truth impair? His tender mercy never shall I presume to share? Hath He His loving kindness shut up in endless wrath? No; this is mine own blindness, that cannot see His path. I call to recollection the years of His right hand; And, strong in His protection, again through faith I stand; Thy deeds, O Lord, are wondrous; holy are all Thy ways; The secret place of thunder shall utter forth Thy praise. Thee, with the tribes assembled, O God, the billows saw; They saw Thee, and they trembled, turned, and stood still with awe; The clouds shot hail and lightning; the earth reeled to and fro; Thy fiery pillar brightened the gulf of gloom below. Thy way is in great waters, Thy footsteps are not known; Let Adam’s sons and daughters confide in Thee alone: Through the wild sea Thou leadest Thy chosen flock of yore; Still on the waves Thou treadest, and Thy redeemed pass o’er.

  To God will I direct my prayer, And He will make my needs His care; I trust Him still, though in my grief No answer yet has brought relief; With hands outstretched through all the night, Uncomforted I sought for light. The thought of God brought me no peace, But rather made my fears increase; With sleepless eyes and speechless pain My fainting spirit grieved in vain; The blessedness of long ago Made deeper still my present woe. Recalling days when faith was bright, When songs of gladness filled my night, I pondered o’er my grievous woes And searching questioning arose; Will God cast off, and nevermore His favor to my soul restore? I asked in fear and bitterness: Will God forsake me in distress? Shall I His promise faithless find? Has God forgotten to be kind? Has He in anger hopelessly Removed His love and grace from me? These doubts and fears that troubled me Were born of my infirmity; Though I am weak, God is most high, And on His goodness I rely; Of all His wonders, I will tell, And on His deeds my thoughts shall dwell.

• [Mzm 77:5] I Thought Upon The Days Of Old

  I thought upon the days of old, The years departed long, I held communion with my heart, By night recalled my song. My heart inquired with anxious care, Will God forever spurn? Shall we no more His favor see? Will mercy ne’er return? Forever shall His promise fail? Has God forgotten grace? Has He withdrawn His tender love, In anger hid His face? These doubts are my infirmity, My thoughts at once reply; I call back years of God’s right hand, The years of God Most High. I will commemorate, O Lord, Thy wondrous deeds of old, And meditate upon Thy works Of power and grace untold. O God, most holy is Thy way, Most perfect, good and right; Thou art the only living God, The God of wondrous might.

  O God, most holy are Thy ways, And who like Thee deserves my praise? Thou only doest wondrous things, The whole wide world Thy glory sings; Thine outstretched arm Thy people saved, Though sore distressed and long enslaved. O God, from Thee the waters fled, The depths were moved with mighty dread, The swelling clouds their torrents poured, And o’er the earth the tempest roared; ’Mid lightning’s flash and thunder’s sound Great trembling shook the solid ground. Thy way was in the sea, O God, Through mighty waters, deep and broad; None understood but God alone, To man Thy footsteps were unknown; But safe Thy people Thou didst keep, Almighty Shepherd of Thy sheep.

• [Mzm 78:1] My People, Give Ear

  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. Instructing our sons we gladly record The praises, the works, the might of the Lord, For He hath commanded that what He hath done Be passed in tradition from father to son. 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. 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 cov’nant nor walked in His fear. 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. 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? 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. Unharmed through the sea, where perished their foe, He caused them with ease and safety to go; His holy land gaining, in peace they were brought To dwell in the mountain the Lord’s hand had bought. He gave them the land, a heritage fair; The nations that dwelt in wickedness there He drove out before them with great overthrow And gave to His people the tents of the foe. Again they rebelled and tempted the Lord, Unfaithful, they turned to idols abhorred, And God in His anger withdrew from them then, No longer delighting to dwell among men. He gave them to death in battle, although His glory and strength were scorned by the foe; Their young men were fallen, their maidens unwed, Their priest slain in battle, none wept for the dead. Then mercy awoke, the Lord in His might Returned, and the foes were scattered in flight; Again to His people His favor He showed And chose in Mount Zion to fix His abode. His servant He called, a shepherd of sheep, From tending his flock, the people to keep; So David their shepherd with wisdom and might Protected and fed them and led them aright.

  Lord of the worlds above, how pleasant and how fair The dwellings of Thy love, Thine earthly temples are! To Thine abode, my heart aspires with warm desires To see my God. The sparrow for her young with pleasure seeks a nest, And wand’ring swallows long to find their wonted rest: My spirit faints With equal zeal to rise and dwell Among thy saints. O happy souls that pray where God appoints to hear! O happy men that pay their constant service there! They praise Thee still; and happy they that love the way To Zion’s hill. They go from strength to strength, through this dark vale of tears, Till each arrives at length, till each in heaven appears; O glorious seat, when God, our King, shall thither bring Our willing feet! To spend one sacred day where God and saints abide, Affords diviner joy than thousand days beside: Where God resorts, I love it more to keep the door Than shine in courts. God is our Sun and Shield, our Light and our Defense; With gifts His hands are filled; we draw our blessings thence. He shall bestow on Jacob’s race peculiar grace And glory too. The Lord his people loves; His hand no good withholds From those his heart approves, From pure and pious souls: Thrice happy he, O God of hosts, whose spirit trusts Alone in Thee.

  Shine forth, O Sun of boundless love, The night within our souls remove; Be Thou our Light, be Thou our Guide, O’er ev’ry thought and step preside. The Light of truth, O Lord of might, That we may know and choose Thy way; Plant holy fear within each heart, That we may ne’er from Thee depart.

• [Mzm 86:11] Teach Me, My God And King

  Teach me, my God and King, In all things Thee to see, And what I do in anything To do it as for Thee. A man that looks on glass, On it may stay his eye; Or if he pleaseth, through it pass, And then the heaven espy. To scorn the senses’ sway, While still to Thee I tend: In all I do be Thou the Way, In all be Thou the End. All may of Thee partake; Nothing so small can be But draws, when acted for Thy sake, Greatness and worth from Thee. If done to obey Thy laws, E’en servile labors shine; Hallowed is toil, if this the cause, The meanest work divine. This is the famous stone That turneth all to gold; For that which God doth touch and own Cannot for less be sold.

Turn Thou my eyes from vanity, And cause me in Thy ways to tread; O let Thy servant prove Thy Word, And thus to godly fear be led. Turn Thou away reproach and fear, Thy righteous judgments I confess; To know Thy precepts I desire, Revive me in Thy righteousness.

With salvation’s walls surrounded, Thou may’st smile at all thy foes. See! the streams of living waters, Springing from eternal love; Well supply thy sons and daughters, And all fear of want remove: Who can faint while such a river Ever flows their thirst t’assuage? Grace, which like the Lord, the Giver, Never fails from age to age. Round each habitation hovering, See the cloud and fire appear! For a glory and a cov’ring Showing that the Lord is near. Thus deriving from our banner Light by night and shade by day; Safe they feed upon the manna Which He gives them when they pray. Blest inhabitants of Zion, Washed in the Redeemer’s blood! Jesus, whom their souls rely on, Makes them kings and priests to God. ’Tis His love His people raises, Over self to reign as kings, And as priests, His solemn praises Each for a thank offering brings. Savior, if of Zion’s city, I through grace a member am, Let the world deride or pity, I will glory in Thy Name. Fading is the worldling’s pleasure, All his boasted pomp and show; Solid joys and lasting treasure None but Zion’s children know.

Full of troubles and affliction, nigh to death my soul is brought, Helpless, like one cast forever from Thy care and from Thy thought. Thou hast brought me down to darkness, ’neath Thy wrath I am oppressed; All the billows of affliction overwhelm my soul distressed. Thou hast made my friends despise me, and companionless I go, Bound, and helpless in my bondage, pining in my bitter woe. Unto Thee, with hands uplifted, daily I direct my cry; Hear, O Lord, my supplication, hear and save me ere I die. Wilt Thou wait to show Thy wonders and Thy mercy to the dead? Let me live to tell Thy praises, by Thy lovingkindness led. Still, O Lord, renewed each morning unto Thee my prayer shall be; Cast me not away forever, let me now Thy favor see. All my life is spent in sorrow, grief and terror always nigh, Waves of wrath have surged about me; show Thy mercy ere I die. Friend and lover are departed, dark and lonely is my way; Lord, be Thou my Friend and Helper, still to Thee, O Lord, I pray.

Blow, winds of God, awake and blow The mists of earth away: Shine out, O Light divine, and show How wide and far we stray. We may not climb the heavenly steeps To bring the Lord Christ down; In vain we search the lowest deeps, For Him no depths can drown. But warm, sweet, tender, even yet, A present help is He; And faith still has its Olivet, And love its Galilee. The healing of His seamless dress Is by our beds of pain; We touch Him in life’s throng and press, And we are whole again. Through Him the first fond prayers are said Our lips of childhood frame, The last low whispers of our dead Are burdened with His Name. O Lord and Master of us all, Whate’er our name or sign, We own Thy sway, we hear Thy call, We test our lives by Thine.

  When all Thy mercies, O my God, My rising soul surveys, Transported with the view, I’m lost In wonder, love and praise. Thy Providence my life sustained, And all my wants redressed, While in the silent womb I lay, And hung upon the breast. To all my weak complaints and cries Thy mercy lent an ear, Ere yet my feeble thoughts had learned To form themselves in prayer. Unnumbered comforts to my soul Thy tender care bestowed, Before my infant heart conceived From Whom those comforts flowed. When in the slippery paths of youth With heedless steps I ran, Thine arm unseen conveyed me safe, And led me up to man. Through hidden dangers, toils, and deaths, It gently cleared my way; And through the pleasing snares of vice, More to be feared than they. O how shall words with equal warmth The gratitude declare, That glows within my ravished heart? But thou canst read it there. Thy bounteous hand with worldly bliss Hath made my cup run o’er; And, in a kind and faithful Friend, Hath doubled all my store. Ten thousand thousand precious gifts My daily thanks employ; Nor is the last a cheerful heart That tastes those gifts with joy. When worn with sickness, oft hast Thou With health renewed my face; And, when in sins and sorrows sunk, Revived my soul with grace. Through every period of my life Thy goodness I’ll pursue And after death, in distant worlds, The glorious theme renew. When nature fails, and day and night Divide Thy works no more, My ever grateful heart, O Lord, Thy mercy shall adore. Through all eternity to Thee A joyful song I’ll raise; For, oh, eternity’s too short To utter all Thy praise!

My chosen servant I appoint, With holy oil his head anoint; My hand with him shall still remain, My arm his strength shall well sustain. “No enemy shall him affright, His adversaries I will smite, My faithfulness to him will prove, And nevermore My grace remove. Yea, he shall triumph in My Name, And great shall be his power and fame, From sea to sea his mighty hand Shall hold dominion o’er the land. “‘Thou art my Father,’ he shall cry, ‘My God, my Rock of refuge high’; My firstborn son shall he be owned, Above the kings of earth enthroned. For him My mercy shall endure, My covenant with him is sure; His throne and race I will maintain, Forever, while the heavens remain. “Should sons of his My laws forsake, My just commands and statutes break, Then, though My rod their sins reprove, My mercy I will not remove. Though they be chastened sore and tried, My faithfulness shall yet abide; My plighted word I will not break, Nor change the promise that I spake. “My oath is steadfast, ever sure, My servant’s race shall still endure; His throne forever firm shall stay When sun and moon have passed away.” On Thine anointed wrath is poured As if Thy covenant were abhorred; Thou hast profaned his kingly crown, His matchless strength is broken down. He is reproached and spoiled of all, His enemies upon him fall; His beauty is consumed away, Forgotten is his kingly sway. Cut off in youth, his sacred name Is covered now with deepest shame; How long, O Lord, shall wrath abide? Thy face forever wilt Thou hide? Think on my life; O Lord, take thought; Hast Thou created man for naught? What man that lives has power to save His soul from death, and from the grave? Where are Thy mercies which of old Were in Thy promises foretold? Remember, Lord, the bitter shame Heaped on Thine own anointed’s name. I sing of mercies that endure Forever builded firm and sure, Of faithfulness that never dies, Established changeless in the skies.
