Praise and
Confession. Psalm 106. C.M.
1. Praise ye the
Lord, for He is good;
Give thanks and bless His Name;
His lovingkindness changes not,
From age to age the same.
2. What tongue can
tell His mighty deeds,
His wondrous works and ways?
O who can show His glory forth,
Or utter all His praise?
3. The Lord will
bless and prosper those,
Yea, blest indeed are they,
Whose ways are just, who constantly
His righteous law obey.
4. O Lord, remember
me in grace,
Let me salvation see;
The grace Thou
showest to Thy saints,
That grace reveal
to me.
5. Let me behold Thy
people's good
And in their joy
rejoice;
With Thy
triumphant heritage
Let me lift up my
voice.
6,
In evil we have
gone astray,
And sinful is our
race;
Rebelliously our
fathers walked,
Forgetful of Thy
grace.
7.
Though they
rebelled, yet for their help
In saving
strength He came
To make His power
almighty known
And glorify His
Name.
8.
He brought them
safely through the sea
And overwhelmed
their foes;
Their faith was
stirred, and for the time
Their songs of
praise arose.
9.
Forgetful soon,
they tempted God,
Nor for His
counsel cared;
He sent them
leanness in their souls,
Whilst they
earth's bounties shared.
10.
With envy they
regarded those
Whom God to them
had sent;
The opening
earth, the kindling flame,
Brought awful
punishment.
11.
A golden image
they adorned,
And worshiped at
its shrine;
Thus they
despised the living God
And scorned His
love divine.
291.
Sin and Divine
Patience. Psalm 106. C.M.
1. Their God and Saviour they forgot,
Their helper and
their stay,
But Moses plead
the promised grace
And turned God's
wrath away.
2.
Yea, they
despised the pleasant land,
The promised land
of God,
And tempted Him
to make them fall
And scatter them
abroad.
3.
They sacrificed
to heathen gods,
And God their sin
repaid;
Then holy wrath
avenged the wrong,
And so the plague
was stayed.
4.
The Lord approved
the righteous act
Of him who sin
abhorred,
And honored him
for evermore
With just and
great reward.
5.
By wicked strife
they angered God,
His wrath they
did provoke;
And, stirred by
their rebellious cries,
Their leader
rashly spoke.
6.
Ensnared, they
served the heathen gods,
And by them were
beguiled;
The blood of
children sacrificed
The very land
defiled.
7.
Jehovah's wrath
arose,
His chosen people He condemned
To serve their
heathen foes.
8.
Though from their
harsh oppressors' hand
Ofttimes He set
them free,
Rebellious still,
they were brought low
In their
iniquity.
9.
When unto God
they cried, He heard
And turned again
His face,
In boundless love
remembering
The covenant of
His grace.
10.
He even touched
their captor's hearts,
And made their
very foes
Compassionate and
pitiful
To feel his
people's woes.
11.
Save us, O Lord,
our gracious God,
From alien lands
reclaim,
That we may
triumph in Thy praise
And bless Thy
holy Name.
12.
Blessed be the
Lord our covenant God,
All praise to Him
accord;
Let all the
people say, Amen.
Praise ye, praise
ye the Lord.
292. Redeeming Love. Psalm 107. 7s. (4 stanzas)
1. Praise the Lord,
for He is good,
For His mercies
ever sure
From eternity
have stood,
To eternity
endure;
Let His ransomed
people raise
Songs to their
Redeemer's praise.
2.
From captivity
released,
From the south
and from the north,
From the west and
from the east,
In His love He
brought them forth,
Ransomed out of
every land
From the
adversary's hand.
3,
Wandering in the
wilderness,
Far they roamed
the desert way,
Found no settled
dwellingplace
Where in peace
secure to stay,
Till with thirst
and hunger pressed
Courage sank
within their breast.
4.
To Jehovah then
they cried
In their trouble,
and He saved,
He Himself became
their guide,
Let them to the
rest they craved
By a pathway
straight and sure,
To a city strong,
secure.
5.
Sons of men,
awake to praise
God the Lord Who
reigns above,
Gracious in His
works and ways,
Wondrous in
redeeming love;
Longing souls He
satisfies,
Hungry hearts
with good supplies.
293. Emancipation from Spiritual Slavery. Psalm 107. 7s. (3 stanzas)
1. Rebels, who had
dared to show
Proud contempt of
God Most High,
Bound in iron and
in woe,
Shades of death
and darkness nigh,
Humbled low with
toil and pain,
Fell, and looked
for help in vain.
2.
To Jehovah then
they cried
In their trouble,
and He saved,
Threw the prison
open wide
Where they lay to
death enslaved,
Bade the gloomy
shadows flee,
Broke their bonds
and set them free.
3.
Sons of men,
awake to praise
God the Lord Who
reigns above,
Gracious in His
works and ways,
Wondrous in
redeeming love;
Iron bars He
breaks like clay,
And the brazen
gates give way.
294. Praise for Gracious
Deliverances. Psalm 107. 7s.
(3
stanzas)
1. Men who walk in
folly's way,
And to evil turn
aside,
Find that sorrow
will repay
Those who
wisdom's laws defied;
Down to death's
dark portals led,
They abhor their
daily bread.
2.
To Jehovah then
they cry
In their trouble,
and He saves,
Sends
compassionate reply,
Gives the health
their spirit craves,
Rescues them with
gracious aid
From the snares
their folly laid.
3.
Sons of men,
awake to praise
God the Lord Who
reigns above,
Gracious in His
works and ways,
Wondrous in
redeeming love;
Let them all
thank offerings bring,
Celebrate His
deeds and sing.
295. The Sovereign of the Sea. Psalm 107. 7s. (4 stanzas)
1. They that traffic
on the sea,
While unceasing
watch they keep,
See Jehovah's
majesty
And His wonders
in the deep;
For He bids the
stormwind fly,
Lifting ocean's
waves on high.
2.
By the billows
heavenward tossed,
Down to dreadful
depths again,
Troubled much,
their courage lost,
Reeling, they
like drunken men
Find their skill
and power o'erthrown;
None can save but
God alone.
3.
To Jehovah then
they cry
In their trouble,
and He saves,
Drives the
darkness from the sky,
Calms the storm
and stills the waves,
Makes their sad
forebodings cease,
To their haven
guides in peace.
4.
Sons of men,
awake to praise
God the Lord Who
reigns above,
Gracious in His
works and ways,
Wondrous in
redeeming love;
Praise Him where
the people meet,
Praise Him in the
elders' seat.
296. Providential Visitations. Psalm 107. 7s. (4 stanzas)
1. Springs and
streams no longer bless
All the dry and
thirsty land;
Fertile fields in
verdant dress
God converts to
desert sand;
For that they who
dwell therein
Turn to
wickedness and sin.
2.
Once again the
waters well,
All the desert
blossoms fair;
There He makes
the hungry dwell,
There a city they
prepare,
Plant their vines
and sow their fields,
And the earth her
increase yields.
3. Now He blesses
them indeed,
They are greatly
multiplied;
On the hills
their cattle feed,
Fast increasing,
spreading wide;
Then again they
are brought low
Through
oppression, grief, and woe.
4.
His contempt the
princes taste;
Driven out they
helpless fly,
Wandering in the
trackless waste;
But He lifts the
needy high,
Where no evil
shall annoy,
And with children
gives him joy.
5.
When His
righteous judgments come,
Strong to bless
and to destroy,
All iniquity is
dumb,
All the righteous
sing for joy;
Who Jehovah
wisely heed,
In His works His
mercy read.
297.
The Praise of the
Redeemed. Psalm 107. C.M.
1. O praise the
Lord, for He is good,
His mercies still
endure;
Thus let His
ransomed testify,
From all their
foes secure.
He has redeemed
His captive saints
From adversaries'
hands,
Has gathered them
and brought them back
In peace from
hostile lands.
2.
They wandered in
the wilderness
By want and
hunger pressed;
In trouble then
they cried to God,
He saved their
souls distressed.
He made the way
before them plain,
Himself became
their guide;
He brought them
to a city strong
Wherein they
might abide.
3.
O praise the
Lord, ye sons of men,
For all His
goodness shown;
O praise Him for
the wondrous works
To you He has
made known.
The longing soul
that turns to Him
He fully
satisfies;
He fills with
good each hungering one
That for His
mercy cries.
298.
Gratitude and
Confidence. Psalm 108. 6s and 4s.
1. My steadfast
heart, O God,
Will sound Thy
praise abroad
With tuneful
string;
The dawn shall
hear my song,
Thy praise I will
prolong,
And where Thy
people throng
Thanksgiving
bring.
2
Thy truth and
tender love
Are high as
heaven above;
Thy help we
crave.
Be Thou exalted
high
Above the lofty
sky;
Lest Thy beloved
die,
O hear and save.
3.
God's word shall
surely stand;
His Name through
every land
Shall be adored;
Lord, who shall
lead our host?
Thy aid we covet
most,
In Thee is all
our boast,
Strong in the
Lord.
299.
Exultant Confidence. Psalm 108. S.M.
1. My heart is
fixed, O God,
A grateful song I
raise;
Awake, O harp, in
joyful strains,
Awake, my soul,
to praise.
2.
Among the
nations, Lord,
To Thee my song
shall rise;
Thy truth is
great above the heavens,
Thy mercies reach
the skies.
4.
Above the
heavens, O God,
And over all the
earth,
Let men exult Thy
glorious Name
And tell Thy
matchless worth.
5.
Stretch forth Thy
mighty hand
In answer to our
prayer,
And let Thy own
beloved ones
Thy great
salvation share.
6.
The holy God hath
said,
All lands shall
own My sway;
My people shall
My glory share,
The heathen shall
obey.
7.
O who will lead
our hosts
To triumph o'er
the foe,
If Thou shalt
cast us off, O God,
Nor with our
armies go?
8.
The help of man
is vain,
Be Thou our
helper, Lord;
Through Thee we
shall do valiantly
If Thou Thy aid
afford.
300.
Divine Retribution
for Evil. Psalm 109. L.M.
1. O God, Whom I
delight to praise,
To Thee my cry
for help I raise;
Be Thou my friend
and advocate
When foes assail
with bitter hate.
2.
Against me
slanderous words are flung
From many a false
and lying tongue;
Without a cause
men hurl at me
The shafts of
deadly enmity.
3.
My good with evil
they repay,
My love turns not
their hate away;
The part of
vengeance, Lord, is Thine,
To pray, and only
pray, is mine.
4.
Since love
appeals to him in vain,
The slave of sin
let him remain;
Against him let
his foe be turned,
His sin be
judged, his prayer be spurned.
5.
Let sudden death
upon him break,
His office let
another take,
His children and
his widowed wife
Pursue the
homeless beggar's life.
6.
Let creditors
consume his toil
And strangers
make his wealth their spoil;
Let none in pity
heed his claim,
Cut off his race,
blot out his name.
7.
His parents' sins
be not forgot
Till Thou from
earth his memory blot
Since he
remembered not to show
Compassion to the
sons of woe.
8.
He cursing loved
and blessing loathed;
Unblest, with
cursing he is clothed;
For thus the
justice of the Lord
My adversaries
will reward.
9.
O God, the Lord,
for Thy Name's sake
Let me of Thy
good grace partake;
My need is great,
and great Thou art
To heal my
wounded, stricken heart.
10.
With failing
strength I fast and pine,
Like shadows
swift my days decline,
And when my foes
my weakness see
They shake the
head in scorn at me.
11.
O Lord my God,
Thy help I crave,
In Thy great
loving-kindness save;
Before my foes
Thy mercy show
That Thou dost
help me make them know.
12.
What though they
curse, if Thou wilt bless?
Then joy shall
banish my distress,
And shame shall
overwhelm the foes
Who would thy
servant's way oppose.
13.
Thanksgiving to
the Lord I raise,
The multitudes
shall hear my praise,
For by the needy
God will stand
To save them from
oppression's hand.
301. Supplication and Trust. Psalm 109. C.M. (4 stanzas)
1. O Lord, my God,
for Thy Name's sake
In mercy deal
with me;
Because Thy
kindness is so great,
From trouble set
me free.
2.
O Thou Who art my
Lord and God,
Thy gracious help
extend,
And for Thy
lovingkindness' sake
O save me and
defend.
3,
My voice shall
greatly bless the Lord
And sing His
worthy praise,
And I amid the
multitude
My thankful song
shall raise.
4.
The Lord be
praised, for ever near
The helpless poor
He stands,
Protecting them
with wondrous power
From their
oppressors' hands.
302. Our Lord Jesus. Psalm 110. 8s and 7s. (3 stanzas)
1. The Lord unto His
Christ hath said,
In glory I
enthrone Thee
Till all Thy
foes, in triumph led,
Their sovereign
King shall own Thee;
From
Thy scepter, till
before Thee bend
The knees of
proud rebellion.
2.
Thy people will
be gladly Thine
When Thou shalt
come victorious,
In holy beauty
Thou shalt shine
Like morning fair
and glorious;
The word of God
shall not depart:
The King of
Righteousness Thou art,
A Royal Priest
forever.
3.
The Lord at Thy
right hand shall smite
Earth's kings in
indignation,
And He shall
judge with sovereign right
Throughout His
wide creation;
While living
streams His strength sustain,
The Christ the
victory shall gain,
Head over all
exalted.
303.
Christ Our
Priest-King. Psalm 110. C.M.
1. The Lord unto His
Christ hath said,
Sit Thou at My
right hand
Until I make Thy
enemies
Submit to Thy
command.
A scepter
prospered by the Lord
Thy mighty hand
shall wield;
From Zion Thou
shalt rule the world,
And all Thy foes
shall yield.
2.
Thy people will
be gladly Thine
When Thou shalt
come in might
Like dawning day,
like hopeful youth,
With holy beauty
bright.
A priesthood that
shall never end
The Lord hath
given Thee;
This He hath
sworn, and evermore
Fulfilled His
word shall be.
3.
Thou subdue the
kings of earth
With God at Thy
right hand;
The nations Thou
shalt rule in might
And judge in
every land.
The Christ,
refreshed by living streams,
Shall neither
faint nor fall,
And He shall be
the glorious Head,
Exalted over all.
304.
The Marvelous Works
of God. Psalm 111. L.M.
1. O give the Lord
whole-hearted praise,
To Him
thanksgiving I will bring;
With all His
people I will raise
My voice and of
His glory sing.
2.
His saints
delight to search and trace
His mighty works
and wondrous ways;
Majestic glory,
boundless grace
And righteousness
His work diplays.
3.
The wondrous
works that God has wrought
His people ever
keep in mind,
His works with
grace and mercy fraught,
Revealing that
the Lord is kind.
4.
God's promise
shall forever stand,
He cares for
those who trust His word;
Upon His saints
His mighty hand
The wealth of
nations has conferred.
5.
His works are
true and just indeed,
His precepts are
forever sure;
In truth and
righteousness decreed
They shall for
evermore endure.
6.
From Him His
saints' redemption came;
His covenant sure
no change can know;
Let all revere
His holy Name
In heaven above
and earth below.
7.
In reverence and
in godly fear
Man finds the
gate to wisdom's ways;
The wise His holy
Name revere;
Through endless
ages sound His praise.
305. The Blessed Life. Psalm 112. L.M. (4 stanzas)
1.
How blest the man
who fears the Lord
And greatly loves
God's holy will;
His children
share his great reward,
And blessings all
their days shall fill.
2.
Abounding wealth
shall bless his home,
His righteousness
shall still endure,
To him shall
light arise in gloom,
For he is
merciful and pure.
3.
The man whose
hand the weak befriends
In judgment shall
his cause maintain;
A peace unmoved
his life attends,
And long his
memory shall remain.
4.
Of evil tidings
not afraid,
His trust is in
the Lord alone;
His heart is
steadfast, undismayed,
For he shall see
his foes o'erthrown.
5.
With kind
remembrance of the poor,
For their
distress his gifts provide;
His righteousness
shall thus endure,
His name in honor
shall abide.
6.
To shame the
wicked shall be brought,
While righteous
men shall favor gain;
Unrighteous hopes
shall come to naught,
Its due reward
shall sin obtain.
306.
The Glory and
Condescension of God. Psalm 113. L.M.
1. Praise God, ye
servants of the Lord,
Praise, praise
His Name with one accord;
Bless ye the
Lord, His Name adore
From this time
forth, forevermore.
2.
From rising unto
setting sun
Praised be the
Lord, the Mighty One;
He reigns o'er
all, supreme in might,
Above the heavens
in glory bright.
3.
On whom but God
can we rely,
The Lord our God
Who reigns on high,
Who condescends
to see and know
The things of
heaven and earth below?
4.
He lifts the poor
and makes them great,
With joy He fills
the desolate;
Praise ye the
Lord and bless His Name,
His mercy and His
might proclaim.
307. Bondage and Deliverance. Psalm 114. L.M. (4 stanzas)
1.
When
From people of a
speech unknown,
The Lord among
His people dwelt,
And there He set
His royal throne.
2.
The sea beheld
and fled away,
The
The lofty
mountains and the hills
With trembling
awe our God discerned.
3.
What aileth thee,
O troubled sea?
Thou Jordan, why
thy riven tide?
Ye mountains and
ye little hills,
Why thus dismayed
on every side?
4.
O tremble, earth,
before the Lord,
In presence of
Jehovah fear,
Beneath Whose
touch the flinty rock
Became a fount of
waters clear.
308.
The Living and True
God. Psalm 115. L.M.
1. Not unto us, O
Lord of heaven,
But unto Thee be
glory given;
In love and truth
Thou dost fulfill
The counsels of
Thy sovereign will;
Though nations
fail Thy power to own,
Yet Thou dost
reign, and Thou alone.
2.
The idol gods of
heathen lands
Are but the work
of human hands;
They cannot see,
they cannot speak,
Their ears are
deaf, their hands are weak;
Like them shall
be all those who hold
To gods of silver
and of gold.
3.
Let
The Lord Whose
grace and power are known;
To Him your full
allegiance yield,
And He will be
your help and shield;
All those who
fear Him God will bless,
His saints have
proved His faithfulness.
4.
All ye that fear
Him and adore,
The Lord increase
you more and more;
Both great and
small who Him confess,
You and your
children He will bless;
Yea, blest are ye
of Him Who made
The heavens, and
earth's foundations laid.
5.
The heavens are
God's since time began,
But He hath given
the earth to man;
The dead praise
not the living God,
But we will sound
His praise abroad,
Yea, we will ever
bless His Name;
Praise ye the
Lord, His praise proclaim.
309. Benediction Upon the God-Fearing. Psalm 115. C.M. (4 stanzas)
1.The Lord Who has
remembered us
His blessing will
bestow;
All those who
fear His holy Name,
His loving care
shall know.
2. For small and
great who fear His Name
The Lord has good
in store;
Ye and your
children, blest of God,
Shall prosper
more and more.
3.
The great Creator
blesses you
With gifts of
boundless worth;
The heavens He
claims, but gives to man
Dominion in the
earth.
4.
The silent dead
praise not the Lord,
The grave no song
can raise;
But we will bless
Him evermore,
Let all proclaim
His praise.
310.
Redemption and
Grateful Love. Psalm 116. L.M.
1, I love the Lord,
for my request
And humble plea
He makes His care;
In Him through
life my faith shall rest,
For He both hears
and answers prayer.
2.
Brought nigh to
death and full of grief,
The Lord's
salvation I besought;
He heard my cry,
He sent relief,
My soul from
depths of woe He brought.
3.
Most kind and
righteous is the Lord,
Our God is
merciful indeed,
Delighting ever
to afford
His help to me in
time of need.
4.
Return unto thy
rest, my soul,
The Lord has
richly dealt with thee,
Delivered thee
from death's control,
From sin and
sorrow set thee free.
5.
Since He has
freed my eyes from tears
And kept my feet
from evil ways,
Redeemed from
life's distressing fears,
With Him I walk,
and Him I praise.
6.
In my affliction
and my pain,
When fears
alarmed and hopes deceived,
I found all human
helpers vain,
But in the Lord
my soul believed.
311.
The Living Sacrifice. Psalm 116. L.M.
1. What shall I
render to the Lord
For all His
benefits to me?
How shall my soul
by grace restored
Give worthy
thanks, O Lord, to Thee?
2.
Salvation's cup
of blessing now
I take, and call
upon God's Name;
Before His saints
I pay my vow
And here my
gratitude proclaim.
3.
His saints the
Lord delights to save,
Their death is
precious in His sight;
He has redeemed
me from the grave,
And in His
service I delight.
4.
With thankful
heart I offer now
My gift, and call
upon God's Name;
Before His saints
I pay my vow
And here my
gratitude proclaim.
5.
Within His house,
the house of prayer,
I dedicate myself
to God;
Let all His
saints His grace declare
And join to sound
His praise abroad.
312. Granted Prayers. Psalm 116. C.M. (6 stanzas)
1. I love the Lord
Who heard my cry
And granted my
request;
In Him Who hears
and answers prayer
My trust through
life shall rest.
2.
With deadly
sorrows compassed round,
My heart was full
of grief;
Then to the Lord
I made my prayer
That He would
send relief.
3.
The Lord is just
and merciful,
And gracious to
the meek;
He saved me when
I cried to Him,
Though I was poor
and weak.
4.
Return unto thy
rest, my soul,
No longer
troubled be;
The Lord sustains
thee, and has dealt
Most graciously
with thee.
5.
Before my Saviour
I will live,
From death He
saved my soul,
My eyes from
tears, my feet from falls,
And He has made
me whole.
6.
In my affliction
this I found,
That human help
deceived,
But ever faithful
was the Lord
In Whom my soul
believed.
313. Consecration and Dedication. Psalm 116. C.M. (5 stanzas)
1. What shall I
render to the Lord,
What shall my
offering be,
For all the
gracious benefits
He has bestowed
on me?
2.
Salvation's cup
my soul will take
While to the Lord
I pray,
And with His
people I will meet,
My thankful vows
to pay.
3.
Not lightly does
the Lord permit
His chosen saints
to die;
From death Thou
hast delivered me,
Thy servant,
Lord, am I.
4.
The sacrifice of
praise I bring
While to the Lord
I pray,
And with His
people I will meet,
My thankful vows
to pay.
5.
Within His house,
the house of prayer,
My soul shall
bless the Lord,
And praises to
His holy Name
Let all His
saints accord.
314.
World-Wide Worship. Psalm 117. L.M.
1. With thankful
voice praise ye the Lord,
Jehovah's praise
in song record;
Yea, all ye
people everywhere,
Jehovah's worthy
praise declare.
2.
For
lovingkindness ever great
Toward us and all
who on Him wait,
For truth to
endless years the same,
Praise ye
Jehovah's holy Name.
315. The Universal Fellowship of Worship. Psalm 117. 8s and 7s. (1 stanza)

my soul to death,
But chastened and
restored.

Thy saints shall
find a dwellingplace;
My thanks and
praise to Thee I bear,

things the Lord hath wrought!
The stone the
builders set at naught,
Established by no
human hand,

stanzas)

my distress,
And by the Lord
my prayer was heard;
O save me, Lord,
from lying lips
And from the
false, deceitful word.
2.
What woe for
falsehood can atone,
Or punish the
deceitful tongue,
The tongue whose
speech consumes like fire,
Whose words like
deadly shafts are flung?
3.
Alas for me,
whose lot is cast
With those who
find their joy in strife!
With those who
hate the paths of peace
I long have dwelt
and spent my life.
4.
In thought and
act I am for peace,
Peace I pursue
and ever seek;
But those about
me are for strife,
Though I in love
and kindness speak.
