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; 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 cause 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.

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

[merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][ocr errors]

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

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

6 O 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:

1 Nor in envy, not in anger,

On the wicked bend thine eye: Like the grass, they wait the mower, Like the leaves, they fade and die. 2 Seek the Lord, and do thy duty: in the land abide,

Fe Him, whose faithful mercies

Glad

All thou needest will provide.

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.
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.

7 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,

7

&c.

Psalm xlii. As the hart panteth, &c: 1 As pants the hind for cooling streams, So longs my soul for Thee,

O God; my heart is all athirst
The living God to see.

2 When shall I stand before His face?
On tears I feed by day,

By night on tears: 'Where now thy
God?'

The busy mockers say.

3 Where now thy God? the scorner cries: O keen and cruel word! Through all my bones with murderous dint

It stabbeth like a sword.

4 Why art thou heavy, O my soul?
Why troubled in my breast?

O put thy trust in God: on Him
Repose, and be at rest:

5 Yea, know that I shall thank Him yet
Within His calm abode,

Who shines on me with saving light,
My own, my faithful God.

8

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

1 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.
