An Hosannah for the Lord's Day; or, A new Song of Salvation by Christ

Appears in 138 hymnals First Line: See what a living Stone Lyrics: 1 See what a living Stone The builders did refuse: Yet God hath built his church thereon In spite of envious Jews. 2 The scribe and angry priest Reject thine only Son; Yet on this rock shall Sion rest, As the chief corner-stone. 3 The work, O Lord, is thine, And wond'rous in our eyes: This day declares it all divine, This day did Jesus rise. 4 This is the glorious day That our Redeemer made; Let all rejoice and sing, and pray, Let all the church be glad. 5 Hosannah to the King Of David's royal blood: Bless him, ye saints, he comes to bring Salvation from your God. 6 We bless thine holy word Which all this grace displays; And offer at your altar, Lord, Our sacrifice of praise.

Appears in 49 hymnals First Line: Why doth the Lord depart so far Lyrics: 1 Why doth the Lord depart so far, And why conceal his face, When great calamities appear, And times of deep distress? 2 Lord, shall the wicked still deride Thy justice and thy laws? Shall they advance their heads in pride, And slight the righteous cause? 3 They cast thy judgements from their sight, And then insult the poor: They boast in their exalted height, That they shall fall no more. 4 Arise, O God, lift up thine hand, Attend our humble cry; No enemy shall dare to stand When GOD ascends on high. Pause. 5 Why do the men of malice rage, And say with foolish pride, "The God of heav'n will ne'er engage To fight on Zion's side?" 6 But thou forever art our Lord; And powerful is thine hand, As when the Heathens felt thy sword, And perish'd from thy land. 7 Thou wilt prepare our hearts to pray, And cause thine ear to hear; Accept the vows thy children pay, And free thy saints from fear. 8 Proud tyrants shall no more oppress, No more despise the just; And mighty sinners shall confess They are but earth and dust. Scripture: Psalm 10

The Way and End of the Righteous and the Wicked

Appears in 102 hymnals First Line: Blest is the man who shuns the place Lyrics: 1 Blest is the man who shuns the place Where sinners love to meet; Who fears to tread their wicked ways, And hates the scoffer’s seat: 2 But in the statutes of the Lord Has plac'd his chief delight; By day he reads or hears the word, And meditates by night. 3 [He like a plant of gen'rous kind, By living waters set, Safe from the storms and blasting wind, Enjoys a peaceful state.] 4 Green as the leaf and ever fair, Shall his profession shine, While fruit of holiness appear Like clusters on the vine. 5 Not so the impious and unjust; What vain designs they form! Their hopes are blown away like dust, Or chaff before the storm. 6 Sinners in judgment shall not stand Among the sons of grace, When CHRIST the judge at his right hand Appoints his saints a place. 7 His eye beholds the path they tread; His heart approves it well; But crooked ways of sinners lead Down to the gates of hell. Scripture: Psalm 1

Scripture: Psalm 108

Love to Enemies from the Example of Christ

Appears in 70 hymnals 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

Scripture: Psalm 64

Scripture: Psalm 84

Scripture: Psalm 63
