Appears in 62 hymnals First Line: If God succeed not, all the cost Lyrics: 1 If God succeed not, all the cost And pains to build the house are lost, If God the city will not keep, The watchful guards as well may sleep. 2 What tho' we rise before the sun, And work and toil when day is done, Careful and sparing eat our bread, To shun that poverty we dread; 3 'Tis all in vain, till God hath bless'd; He can make rich, yet give us rest; On God, our sov'reign, still depends Our joy in children and in friends. 4 Happy the man to whom he sends Obedient children, faithful friends!

My eyes consum'd with grief? How long, my God, how long, before Thine hand afford relief? 5 He hears his mourning children speak, He pities all our groans; And saves us for his mercy’s sake, And heals our broken bones. 6 The virtue of his sovereign word Restores our fainting breath: For silent graves praise not the Lord, Nor is he known in death.

Appears in 41 hymnals First Line: In Judah God of old was known Lyrics: 1 In Judah God of old was known; His name in Israel great; In Salem stood his holy throne, And Sion was his seat. 2 Among the praises of his saints, His dwelling there he chose; There he receiv'd their just complaints Against their haughty foes. 3 From Sion went his dreadful word, And broke the threat'ning spear; The bow, the arrows, and the sword, And crush'd th' Assyrian war. 4 What are the earth’s wide kingdoms else But mighty hills of prey? The hill on which Jehovah dwells Is glorious more than they. 5 ’Twas Sion’s king that stopp'd the breath Of captains and their bands; The men of might sleep fast in death, That quells their warlike hands. 6 At thy rebuke, O Jacob’s God, Both horse and chariot fell: Who knows the terrors of thy rod! Thy veng'ance who can tell? 7 What pow'r can stand before thy sight When once thy wrath appears? When heav'n shines round with dreadful light, The earth adores and fears. 8 When God in his own sov'reign ways Comes down to save the opprest, The wrath of men shall work his praise, And he’ll restrain the rest. [9 Vows to the Lord, and tribute bring, Ye princes, fear his frown; His terrors shake the proudest king, And smite his armies down. 10 The thunder of his sharp rebuke Our haughty foes shall feel; For Jacob’s God hath not forsook, But dwells in Sion still.]

Pause First. 7 Let earth and ocean know They owe their Maker praise; Praise him, ye wat'ry worlds below, And monsters of the seas. 8 From mountains near the sky, Let his high praise resound, From humble shrubs and cedars high, And vales and fields around. 9 Ye lions of the wood, And tamer beasts that graze, Ye live upon his daily food, And he expects your praise. 10 Ye birds of lofty wing, On high his praises bear; Or sit on flow'ry boughs and sing Your Maker's glory there. 11 Ye reptile myriads join, T' exalt his glorious name, And flies in beauteous forms that shine, His wond'rous skill proclaim. 12 By all the earth-born race His honours be express'd, But saints that know his heav'nly grace, Should learn to praise him best. Pause Second. 13 Monarchs of wide command, Praise ye th' eternal King; Judges, adore that sov'reign hand, Whence all your honours spring. 14 Let vig'rous youth engage To sound his praises high; While growing babes and with'ring age, Their feebler voices try. 15 United zeal be shown His wond'rous fame to raise; God is the Lord; his name alone Deserves our endless praise. 16 Let nature join with art, And all pronounce him blest; But saints, that dwell so near his heart Should sing his praises best.

When shall I make thy grace my song? 5 I feel my flesh so near the grave, My thoughts are tempted to despair; But graves can never praise the Lord, For all is dust and silence there. 6 Depart, ye tempters, from my soul, And all despairing thoughts depart; My God, who hears my humble moan, Will ease my flesh, and cheer my heart.
