Psalm 42 Part 1

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.97 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Complaint of absence from public worship; Public worship, absence from it complained of First Line: With earnest longings of the mind Lyrics: With earnest longings of the mind, My God, to thee I look; So pants the hunted hart to find And taste the cooling brook. When shall I see thy courts of grace, And meet my God again? So long an absence from thy face My heart endures with pain. Temptations vex my weary soul, And tears are my repast; The foe insults without control, "And where's your God at last?" 'Tis with a mournful pleasure now I think on ancient days; Then to thy house did numbers go, And all our work was praise. But why, my soul, sunk down so far Beneath this heavy load? Why do my thoughts indulge despair, And sin against my God? Hope in the Lord, whose mighty hand Can all thy woes remove, For I shall yet before him stand, And sing restoring love. Scripture: Psalm 42:1-5 Languages: English

Psalm 42 Part 2

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.98 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Complaint of absence from public worship; Public worship, absence from it complained of First Line: My spirit sinks within me, Lord Lyrics: My spirit sinks within me, Lord, But I will call thy name to mind, And times of past distress record, When I have found my God was kind. Huge troubles with tumultuous noise Swell like a sea, and round me spread; Thy water-spouts drown all my joys, And rising waves roll o'er my head. Yet will the Lord command his love, When I address his throne by day, Nor in the night his grace remove; The night shall hear me sing and pray. I'll cast myself before his feet, And say, "My God, my heav'nly rock, Why doth thy love so long forget The soul that groans beneath thy stroke?" I'll chide my heart that sinks so low, Why should my soul indulge her grief? Hope in the Lord, and praise him too; He is my rest, my sure relief. Thy light and truth shall guide me still, Thy word shall my best thoughts employ, And lead me to thine heav'nly hill, My God, my most exceeding joy. Scripture: Psalm 42:6-11 Languages: English

Before Jehovah's awful throne

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #1 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Public Worship Praise and Adoration Lyrics: 1 Before Jehovah’s awful throne, Ye nations, bow with sacred joy; Know that the Lord is God alone: He can create, and He destroy. 2 His sov'reign power, without our aid, Made us of clay, and form'd us men, And, when like wand'ring sheep we stray'd, He brought us to His fold again. 3 We are His people, we His care, Our souls and all our mortal frame: What lasting honors shall we rear, Almighty Maker, to Thy name! 4 We’ll crowd Thy gates with thankful songs, High as the heavens our voices raise; And earth, with her ten thousand tongues, Shall fill Thy courts with sounding praise. 5 Wide as the world is Thy command, Vast as eternity Thy love; Firm as a rock Thy truth must stand, When rolling years shall cease to move.

The Lord hath justice for the proud, And mercy for the oppress'd. 6 His wondrous works and ways He made by Moses known; But sent the world His truth and grace By His belovéd Son. Languages: English

My soul, repeat His praise

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #3 (1870) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Public Worship Praise and Adoration Lyrics: 1 My soul, repeat His praise Whose mercies are so great; Whose anger is so slow to rise, So ready to abate. 2 God will not always chide; And, when His wrath is felt, His strokes are fewer than or crimes, And lighter than our guilt. 3 High as the heavens are raised Above the ground we tread, So far the riches of His grace Our highest thoughts exceed. 4 His grace subdues our sins, And His forgiving love Far as the east is from the west Doth all our guilt remove. 5 The pity of the Lord, To those who fear His name, Is such as tender parents feel; He knows our feeble frame. 6 Our days are as the grass, Or like the morning flower! If one sharp blast sweep o'er the field, It withers in an hour. 7 But thy great compassions, Lord, To endless years endure; And children's children ever find Thy words of promise sure.
