Forgiveness of Sins upon Confession

Hymnal: PCSC1788 #32a (1793) First Line: Oh blessed souls are they Lyrics: 1 Oh blessed souls are they Whose sins are cover'd o'er; Divinely blest, to whom the Lord Imputes their guilt no more. 2 They mourn their follies past, And keep their hearts with care; Their lips and lives without deceit Shall prove their faith sincere. 3 While I conceal'd my guilt, I felt the fest'ring wound, Till I confess'd my sins to thee, And ready pardon found. 4 Let sinners learn to pray, Let saints keep near the throne; Our help in times of deep distress, Is found in God alone.

And when I walk, thy watchful eye Shall guide me safe from ev'ry snare. Scripture: Psalm 32 Languages: English

Creatures vain' and God All-sufficient

Hymnal: PCSC1788 #33b (1793) First Line: Blest is the nation, where the Lord Lyrics: 1 Blest is the nation, where the Lord Hath fix'd his gracious throne; Where he reveals his heav'nly word, And calls their tribes his own. 2 His eye, with infinite survey, Does the whole world behold; He form'd us all of equal clay, And knows our feeble mould. 3 Kings are not rescu'd by the force Of armies from the grave; Nor speed nor courage of an horse Can his bold rider save. 4 Vain is the strength of beasts or men, Nor springs our safety thence; But holy souls from God obtain A strong and sure defence. 5 God is their fear, and God their trust: When plagues or famine spread, His watchful eye secures the just, Among ten thousand dead. 6 Lord, let our hearts in thee rejoice, And bless us from thy throne; For we have made thy word our choice, And trust thy grace alone. Scripture: Psalm 33 Languages: English

Creatures vain, and God All-sufficient

Hymnal: PCSC1788 #33d (1793) First Line: Oh happy nation, where the Lord Lyrics: 1 Oh happy nation, where the Lord Reveals the treasure of his word, And builds his church, his earthly throne! His eye the heathen world surveys, He form'd their hearts, he knows their ways, But God their Maker is unknown. 2 Let kings rely upon their host, And of his strength the champion boast, In vain they boast, in vain rely; In vain we trust the brutal force, Or speed or courage of an horse, To guard his rider or to fly. 3 The arm of our Almighty Lord, Doth more secure defence afford, When deaths or dangers threat'ning stand: Thy watchful eye preserves the just, Who make thy name their fear and trust, When wars or famine waste the land. 4 In sickness or the bloody field, Our great physician and our shield, Shall send salvation from his throne; We wait to see thy goodness shine; Let us rejoice in help divine, For all our hope is God alone. Scripture: Psalm 33 Languages: English
