God's perfect law converts the soul

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #P.XXXVI (1789) Lyrics: 1 God's perfect law converts the soul, Reclaims from false desires; With sacred wisdom his sure word The ignorant inspires. 2 The statutes of the Lord are just, And bring sincere delight; His pure commands, in search of truth, Assist the feeblest sight. 3 His perfect worship here is fix'd, On sure foundations laid; His equal laws are in the scales Of truth and justice weigh'd. 4 Of more esteem than golden mines, Of gold refined with skill; More sweet than honey, or the drops That from the comb distil. 5 But what frail man observes how oft He does from virtue fall? O! cleanse me from my secret faults, Thou, God, that know'st them all. Topics: Instructive Psalms Scripture: Psalm 19 Languages: English

The Lord himself, the mighty Lord

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #P.XXV (1789) Lyrics: 1 The Lord himself, the mighty Lord, Vouchsafes to be my guide; The shepherd by whose constant care My wants are all suppy'd. 2 In tender grass he makes me feed, And gently there repose; Then leads me to cool shades, and where Refreshing water flows. 3 He does my wand'ring soul reclaim; And, to his endless praise, Instructs with humble zeal to walk In his most righteous ways. 4 I pass the gloomy vale of death, From fear and danger free; For there his aiding rod and staff Defend and comfort me.

Thy mercies, and thy love

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #P.XIII (1789) Lyrics: 1 Thy mercies and thy love, O Lord, recal to mind; And graciously continue still, As thou wert ever, kind. 2 To me thy truth impart, And lead me in thy way: For thou art He that brings me help; On thee I wait all day. 3 Let all my youthful crimes Be blotted out by thee; And for they wond'rous goodness sake, In mercy think on me. 4 His mercy and his truth, The righteous Lord displays, In bringing wand'ring sinners home, And teaching them his ways. 5 He those in justice guides, Who his direction seek; And in his sacred paths shall lead The humble and the meek. 6 Through all the ways of God Both truth and mercy shine, To such as, with religious hearts, To his blest will incline.

Approach, ye piously dispos'd

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #P.XXXVII (1789) Lyrics: 1 Approach, ye piously dispos'd, And my instruction hear; I'll teach you the true discipline Of a religious fear. 2 Let him, who length of life desires, And prosp'rous ways would see, From sland'ring language keep his tongue, His Lips from falshood free: 3 The crooked paths of vice decline, And virtue's ways pursue; Establish peace, where 'tis begun; And, where 'tis lost, renew. 4 The Lord from heav'n, beholds the just With favourable eyes; And, when distress'd, his gracious ear Is open to their cries: 5 But turns his wrathful look on those Whom mercy can't reclaim, To cut them off, and from the earth Blot out their hated name.

O Lord, thy mercy, my sure hope

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #P.XXXIX (1789) Lyrics: 1 O Lord, thy mercy, my sure hope, The highest orb of heav'n transcends, Thy sacred truth's unmeasure'd scope Beyond the spreading sky extends. 2 Thy justice like the hills remains; Unfathom'd depths Thy judgments are; Thy providence the world sustains, The whole creation is thy care. 3 Since of thy goodness all partake, With what assurance should the just Thy shelt'ring wings their refuge make, And saints to thy protection trust! 4 Such guests shall to thy courts be led, To banquet on thy love's repast, And drink, as from a fountain's head, Of joys that shall forever last. 5 With thee the springs of life remain, Thy presence is eternal day: O let thy saints thy favour gain: To upright hearts thy truth display.

Consider that the righteous man

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #P.XXXIV (1789) Lyrics: 1 Consider that the righteous man Is God's peculiar choice: And when to him I make my pray'r, He always hears my voice. 2 Then stand in awe of his commands; Flee ev'ry thing that's ill; Commune in private with your hearts, And bind them to his will. 3 The place of other sacrifice Let righteousness supply; And let your hope, securely fix'd, On God alone rely. 4 While worldly minds impatient grow, More prosp'rous times to see; Still let the glories of thy face shine brightly, Lord, on me. 5 So shall my heart o'er flow with joy More lasting and more true, Than theirs, who stores of corn and wine Successively renew. 6 Then down in peace I'll lay my head, And take my needful rest: No other guard, O Lord, I crave, Of thy defence posses'd.

As pants the hart for cooling streams

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #P.XVII (1789) Lyrics: 1 As pants the hart for cooling streams, When heated in the chace, So longs my soul, O God, for thee, And thy refreshing grace. 2 For thee, my God, the living God, My thirsty soul doth pine! O when shall I behold thy face? Thou majesty divine! 3 I sigh whene'er my musing thoughts Those happy days present, When I with troops of pious friends Thy temple did frequent; 4 When I advanc'd with songs of praise, My solemn vows to pay, And led the joyful sacred throng And kept the festal day. 5 Why restless, why cast down, my soul? Trust God, and he'll employ His aid for thee; and change these sighs To thankful hymns of joy. 6 Why restless, why cast down, my soul Hope still, and thou shalt sing The praise of him who is thy God, Thy health's eternal spring.

God does his saving health dispense

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #P.XL (1789) Lyrics: 1 God does his saving health dispense, And flowing blessings daily send, He is my fortress and defence; On him my soul shall still depend. 2 In Him, ye people always trust; Before his throne pour out your hearts; For God, the nerciful and just, His timely aid to us imparts. 3 The vulgar fickle are, and frail; The great dissemble and betray; And, laid in truth's impartial scale, The lightest Things will both outweigh. 4 Then trust not in oppressive ways; By spoil and rapine grow not vain; Nor let your hearts, if wealth increase, Be set too much upon your gain. 5 For God has oft his will express'd, And I this truth have fully known; To be of boundless pow'r possess'd, Belongs, of right, to God alone. 6 Tho' mercy is His darling grace, In which he chiefly takes delight; Yet will he all the human race According to their works requite.

O Lord of hosts, my King and God

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #P.XVIII (1789) Lyrics: 1 O Lord of hosts, my King and God, How highly blest are they, Who in thy temple always dwell, And there thy praise display! 2 Thrice happy they, whose choice has thee Their sure protection made; Who long to tread the sacred ways That to thy dwelling lead! 3 For in thy courts one single day 'Tis better to attend, Than, Lord, in any place besides A thousand days to spend. 4 Much rather in God's house will I The meanest office take, Than in the wealthy tents of sin My pompous dwelling make. 5 For God, who is our sun and shield, Will grace and glory give; And no good thing will he withhold From them that justly live. 6 Thou, God, whom heav'nly hosts obey, How highly blest is he, Whose hope and trust, securely plac'd, Is still repos'd on thee!

O to thy servants, Lord, return

Hymnal: CPHP1789 #P.XX (1789) Lyrics: 1 O to thy servants, Lord, return, And speedily relent! As we of our misdeeds, do thou Pf our just doom, repent. 2 To satisfy and cheer our souls, Thy early mercy send; That we may all our days to come In joy and comfort spend. 3 Let happy times with large amends Dry up our former tears; Or equal at the least the term Of our afflicted years. 4 To all thy servants, Lord, let this Thy wond'rous work be known, And to our offspring yet unborn, Thy glorious pow'r be shown. 5 Let thy bright rays upon us shine, Give thou our work success; The glorious work we have in hand Do thou vouchsafe to bless.
