Correction for Sin, and Release by Prayer

Hymnal: PCSC1788 #107b (1793) First Line: From age to age exalt his name Lyrics: 1 From age to age exalt his name, God and his grace are still the same; He fills the hungry soul with food, And feeds the poor with ev'ry good. 2 But if their hearts rebel and rise Against the God that rules the skies; If they reject his heav'nly word, And slight the counsels of the Lord: 3 He'll bring their spirits to the ground, And no deliv'rer shall be found; Laden with grief they waste their breath In darkness and the shades of death. 4 Then to the Lord they raise their cries, He makes the dawning light arise, And scatters all that dismal shade That hung so heavy round their head. 5 He cuts the bars of brass in two, And lets the smiling pris'ners thro'; Takes off the load of guilt and grief, And gives the lab'ring soul relief. 6 O may the sons of men record The wond'rous goodness of the Lord! How great his works! how kind his ways! Let ev'ry tongue pronounce his praise. Scripture: Psalm 107 Languages: English

Israel led to Canaan, and Christians to Heaven

Hymnal: PCSC1788 #107a (1793) First Line: Give thanks to God, he eigns above Lyrics: 1 Give thanks to God, he reigns above; Kind are his thoughts, his name is love; His mercy ages past have known, And ages long to come shall own. 2 Let the redeemed of the Lord The wonders of his grace record; Isra'l, the nation whom he chose, And rescu'd from their mighty foes. 3 [When God's almighty arm had broke Their fetters and th' Egyptian yoke, They trac'd the desert, wand'ring round' A wild and solitary ground! 4 There they could find no leading road, Nor city for a fix'd abode; Nor food nor fountain to assuage Their burning thirst, or hunger's rage.] 5 In their distress to God they cry'd God was their Saviour and their guide; He led their wand'ring march around, And brought their tribes to Canaan's ground. 6 Thus when our first release we gain From sin's old yoke, and Satan's chain, We have this desert world to pass, A dang'rous and a tiresome place. 7 He feeds and clothes us all the way, He guides our footsteps lest we stray, He guards us with a pow'rful hand, And brings us to the heav'nly land. 8 O let the saints with joy record The truth and goodness of the Lord! How great his works! how kind his ways! Let ev'ry tongue pronounce his praise. Scripture: Psalm 107 Languages: English

The Mariner's Psalm

Hymnal: PCSC1788 #107e (1793) First Line: Thy works of glory, mighty Lord Lyrics: 1 Thy works of glory, mighty Lord, That rules the boist'rous sea, The sons of courage shall record, Who tempt that dang'rous way. 2 At thy command the winds arise, And swell the tow'ring waves! The men astonish'd mount the skies, And sink in gaping graves. 3 A[gain they climb the wat'ry hills, And plunge in deeps again; Each like a tott'ring drunkard reels, And finds his courage vain. 4 Frighted to hear the tempest roar, They pant with flutt'ring breath; And hopeless of the distant shore, Expect immediate death.] 5 Then to the Lord they raise their cries; He hears the loud request, And orders silence thro' the skies, And lays the floods to rest. 6 Sailors rejoice to lose their fears, And see the storms allay'd: Now to their eyes the port appears; There let their vows be paid. 7 'Tis God that brings them safe to land; Let stupid mortals know, That waves are under his command, And all the winds that blow. 8 O that the sons of men would praise The goodness of the Lord! And those that see thy wond'rous ways, Thy wond'rous love record. Scripture: Psalm 107 Languages: English

Intemperance punished and pardoned, or, A Psalm for the Glutton and the Drunkard

Hymnal: PCSC1788 #107c (1793) First Line: Vain man on foolish pleasures bent Lyrics: 1 Vain man on foolish pleasures bent, Prepares for his own punishment; What pains, what loathsome maladies, From luxury and lust arise! 2 The drunkard feels his vitals waste: Yet drowns his health to please his taste; 'Till all his active pow'rs are lost, And fainting life draws near the dust. 3 The glutton groans, and loaths to eat, His soul abhors delicious meat; Nature, with heavy loads opprest, Would yield to death to be releas'd. 4 Then how the frighten'd sinners fly To God for help with earnest cry! He hears their groans, prolongs their breath, And saves them from approaching death. 5 No med'cines could effect the cure So quick, so easy, or so sure: The deadly sentence God repeals, He sends his sov'reign word, and heals. 6 O may the sons of men record The wond'rous goodness of the Lord! And let their thankful off'ring prove How they adore their Maker's love. Scripture: Psalm 107 Languages: English

Colonies planted; or, Nations blest and purified

Hymnal: PCSC1788 #107f (1793) First Line: When God, provok'd with daring crimes Lyrics: 1 When God, provok'd with daring crimes, Scourges the madness of the times, He turns their fields to barren sand, And dries the rivers from the land. 2 His word can raise the springs again, And make the wither'd mountains green, Send show'ry blessings from the skies; And harvest's in the desert rise. 3 [Where nothing dwelt but beasts of prey, Or men as fierce and wild as they, He bids th' oppret and poor repair, And builds them towns and cities there. 4 They sow the fields, and trees they plant, Whose yearly fruist supplies their want; Their race grows up from fruitful stocks, Their wealth increases with their flocks. 5 Thus they are blest: but if they sin, He lets the heathen nations in; A savage crew invades their lands, Their princes die by barb'rous hands. 6 Their captive sons, expos'd to scorn, Wander unpity'd and forlorn; The country lies unfenc'd, untill'd, And desolation spreads the field. 7 Yet if the humbled nation mourns, Again his dreadful hands he turns; Again he makes their cities thrive, And bids the dying churches live.] 8 The righteous with a joyful sense Admire the works of Providence; And tongues of atheists shall no more Blaspheme the God that saints adore. 9 How few with pious care record These wond'rous dealings of the Lord! But wise observers still shall find The Lord is holy, just and kind. Languages: English

Deliverance from Storms and Shipwreck; or, The Seaman's Song

Hymnal: PCSC1788 #107d (1793) First Line: Would you behold the works of God Lyrics: 1 Would you behold the works of God, His wonders in the world abroad. With the bold mariner survey The unknown regions of the sea. 2 They leave their native shores behind, And seize the favuor of the wind! 'Till God command, and tempests rise That heave the ocean to the skies. 3 Now to the heav'ns they mount amain, Now sink to dreadful deeps again; What strange affrights young sailors feel, And like a stagg'ring drunkard reel! 4 When land is far, and death is nigh, Lost to all hope to God they cry; His mercy hears the loud address, And sends salvation in distress. 5 He bids the winds their wrath assuage, The stormy tempests cease to rage; The gladsome train their fears give o'er And hail with joy their native shore. 6 O may the sons of men record The wond'rous goodness of the Lord! Let them their private off'rings bring, And in the church his glory sing. Scripture: Psalm 107 Languages: English

Love to Enemies from the Example of Christ

Hymnal: PCSC1788 #109 (1793) First Line: God of my mercy and my praise Lyrics: 1 God of my mercy and my praise, Thy glory is my song; Tho' sinners speak against thy grace With a blaspheming tongue. 2 When in the form of mortal man Thy Son on earth was found, With cruel slanders false and vain They compass'd him around. 3 Their mis'ries his compassion move, Their peace he still pursu'd; They render hatred for his love, And evil for his good. 4 Their malice rag'd without a cause, Yet with his dying breath He pray'd for murd'rers on his cross, And bless'd his foes in death. 5 Lord shall thy bright example shine In vain before my eyes; Give me a soul akin to thine, To love mine enemies. 6 The Lord shall on my side engage, And in my Saviour's name I shall defeat their pride and rage, Who slander and condemn. Scripture: Psalm 109:1-5 Languages: English
