When rising from the bed of death

Author: Joseph Addison Hymnal: Scottish Psalter and Paraphrases #H3 (1800) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: When rising from the bed of death, o’erwhelmed with guilt and fear, I see my Maker face to face, O how shall I appear! If yet while pardon may be found, and mercy may be sought, My heart with inward horror shrinks, and trembles at the thought; When thou, O Lord! shalt stand disclosed in majesty severe, And sit in judgment on my soul, O how shall I appear! But thou hast told the troubled mind, who doth her sins lament, That timely grief for errors past shall future woe prevent. Then see the sorrows of my heart, ere yet it be too late; And hear my Saviour’s dying groans, to give those sorrows weight. For never shall my soul despair of mercy at thy throne, Who knows thine only Son has died thy justice to atone. Languages: English

Blest morning! whose first dawning rays

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Scottish Psalter and Paraphrases #H4 (1800) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Blest morning! whose first dawning rays beheld the Son of God arise triumphant from the grave, and leave his dark abode. 2 Wrapt in the silence of the tomb the great Redeemer lay, till the revolving skies had brought the third, th' appointed day. 3 Hell and the grave combin'd their force to hold our Lord in vain; sudden the Conqueror arose, and burst their feeble chain. 4 To thy great name, Almighty Lord! we sacred honours pay, and loud hosannahs shall proclaim the triumphs of the day. 5 Salvation and immortal praise to our victorious King! Let heav'n and earth, and rocks and seas, with glad hosannahs ring. 6 To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, the God whom we adore, be glory, as it was, and is, and shall be evermore. Languages: English

Psalm 1

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.1 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Blest is the man who shuns the place Lyrics: 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: But in the statutes of the Lord Has placed his chief delight; By day he reads or hears the word, And meditates by night. [He, like a plant of gen'rous kind, By living waters set, Safe from the storms and blasting wind, Enjoys a peaceful state.] Green as the leaf, and ever fair, Shall his profession shine While fruits of holiness appear Like clusters on the vine. Not so the impious and unjust; What vain designs they form! Their hopes are blown away like dust, Or chaff before the storm. Sinners in judgment shall not stand Amongst the sons of grace, When Christ, the Judge, at his right hand Appoints his saints a place. His eye beholds the path they tread, His heart approves it well But crooked ways of sinners lead Down to the gates of hell. Topics: Blessings of a person; End of the righteous and wicked; Happy saint and cursed sinner; Judgment day; Love of God to the righteous, and hatred to the wicked; Meditation; Punishment of sinners; Saints and sinner's end; Saints and Sinners' portion; Saints happy, and sinners cursed; Sinner and saint's portion; Sinner cursed, and saint happy Scripture: Psalm 1 Languages: English

Psalm 2

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.5 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Why did the nations join to slay Lyrics: Why did the nations join to slay The Lord's anointed Son? Why did they cast his laws away, And tread his gospel down? The Lord, that sits above the skies, Derides their rage below; He speaks with vengeance in his eyes, And strikes their spirits through. "I call him my Eternal Son, And raise him from the dead; I make my holy hill his throne, And wide his kingdom spread. "Ask me, my Son, and then enjoy The utmost heathen lands: Thy rod of iron shall destroy The rebel that withstands." Be wise, ye rulers of the earth, Obey th' anointed Lord, Adore the King of heav'nly birth, And tremble at his word. With humble love address his throne; For if he frown, ye die: Those are secure, and those alone, Who on his grace rely. Topics: Christ exalted to the kingdom; Christ his sufferings and kingdom; Exaltation of Christ to the kingdom; Gentiles given to Christ; Resurrection and death of Christ; Submission to Christ; Sufferings and kingdom of Christ Scripture: Psalm 2 Languages: English

Psalm 3

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.7 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: My God, how many are my fears! Lyrics: My God, how many are my fears! How fast my foes increase! Conspiring my eternal death, They break my present peace. The lying tempter would persuade There's no relief in heav'n; And all my swelling sins appear Too big to be forgiv'n. But thou, my glory and my strength, Shalt on the tempter tread, Shalt silence all my threatening guilt, And raise my drooping head. [I cried, and from his holy hill He bowed a listening ear; I called my Father, and my God, And he subdued my fear. He shed soft slumbers on mine eyes, In spite of all my foes; I woke, and wondered at the grace That guarded my repose.] What though the hosts of death and hell All armed against me stood, Terrors no more shall shake my soul; My refuge is my God. Arise, O Lord, fulfil thy grace, While I thy glory sing; My God has broke the serpent's teeth, And death has lost his sting. Salvation to the Lord belongs; His arm alone can save: Blessings attend thy people here, And reach beyond the grave. Topics: Defence in God; Deliverance from temptation; Doubts and fears suppressed; Fears and doubts suppressed; God our defence and salvation; Morning psalm; Satan subdued; Spiritual enemies overcome; Temptations overcome; Temptations support under them Scripture: Psalm 3 Languages: English

Psalm 4

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.10 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Lord, thou wilt hear me when I pray Lyrics: Lord, thou wilt hear me when I pray, I am for ever thine; I fear before thee all the day, Nor would I dare to sin. And while I rest my weary head, From cares and business free, 'Tis sweet conversing on my bed, With my own heart and thee. I pay this evening sacrifice: And when my work is done, Great God, my faith and hope relies Upon thy grace alone. Thus, with my thoughts composed to pray, I'll give mine eyes to sleep; Thy hand in safety keeps my days, And will my slumbers keep.

Psalm 5

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.11 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Lord, in the morning thou shalt hear Lyrics: Lord, in the morning thou shalt hear My voice ascending high; To thee will I direct my prayer, To thee lift up mine eye; Up to the hills where Christ is gone To plead for all his saints, Presenting at his Father's throne Our songs and our complaints. Thou art a God, before whose sight The wicked shall not stand; Sinners shall ne'er be thy delight, Nor dwell at thy right hand. But to thy house will I resort, To taste thy mercies there; I will frequent thine holy court, And worship in thy fear. O may thy Spirit guide my feet In ways of righteousness! Make every path of duty straight, And plain before my face. My watchful enemies combine To tempt my feet astray; They flatter, with a base design To make my soul their prey. Lord, crush the serpent in the dust, And all his plots destroy; While those that in thy mercy trust, For ever shout for joy. The men that love and fear thy name Shall see their hopes fulfilled; The mighty God will compass them With favor as a shield. Topics: Direction and defence prayed for; Lord's Day Morning; Morning of a sabbath Scripture: Psalm 5 Languages: English

Psalm 6

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.12 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: In anger, Lord, rebuke me not Lyrics: In anger, Lord, rebuke me not; Withdraw the dreadful storm; Nor let thy fury grow so hot Against a feeble worm. My soul's bowed down with heavy cares, My flesh with pain oppressed; My couch is witness to my tears, My tears forbid my rest. Sorrow and pain wear out my days, I waste the night with cries, Counting the minutes as they pass, Till the slow morning rise. Shall I be still tormented more? Mine eye consumed with grief? How long, my God, how long before Thine hand afford relief? He hears when dust and ashes speak, He pities all our groans; He saves us for his mercy's sake, And heals our broken bones. The virtue of his sovereign word Restores our fainting breath; For silent graves praise not the Lord, Nor is he known in death. Topics: Deliverance from temptation; Satan subdued; Complaint of sickness; Devotion on a sick bed; Health prayed for; Health sickness, and recovery; Recovery from Sickness; Sick-Bed Devotion; Sickness healed; Temptations in sickness; Victory over temptations Scripture: Psalm 6 Languages: English

Psalm 7

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.14 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: My trust is in my heav'nly Friend Lyrics: My trust is in my heav'nly Friend, My hope in thee, my God; Rise, and my helpless life defend From those that seek my blood. With insolence and fury they My soul in pieces tear, As hungry lions rend the prey, When no deliverer's near. If I had e'er provoked them first, Or once abused my foe, Then let him tread my life to dust, And lay mine honor low. If there be malice found in me, I know thy piercing eyes; I should not dare appeal to thee, Nor ask my God to rise. Arise, my God, lift up thy hand, Their pride and power control; Awake to judgment, and command Deliverance for my soul. [Let sinners, and their wicked rage, Be humbled to the dust; Shall not the God of truth engage To vindicate the just? He knows the heart, he tries the reins, He will defend th' upright His sharpest arrows he ordains Against the sons of spite. For me their malice digged a pit, But there themselves are cast; My God makes all their mischief light On their own heads at last.] That cruel, persecuting race Must feel his dreadful sword: Awake, my soul, and praise the grace And justice of the Lord. Topics: Appeal to God against persecutors; God his care of saints; Persecution victory over, and deliverance from it; Persecutors punished Scripture: Psalm 7 Languages: English

Psalm 8

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.16 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: O LORD, our Lord, how wondrous great Lyrics: O LORD, our Lord, how wondrous great Is thine exalted name! The glories of thy heav'nly state Let men and babes proclaim. When I behold thy works on high, The moon that rules the night, And stars that well adorn the sky, Those moving worlds of light; Lord, what is man, or all his race, Who dwells so far below, That thou shouldst visit him with grace, And love his nature so? That thine eternal Son should bear To take a mortal form; Made lower than his angels are, To save a dying worm? [Yet while he lived on earth unknown, And men would not adore, Th' obedient seas and fishes own His Godhead and his power. The waves lay spread beneath his feet; And fish, at his command, Bring their large shoals to Peter's feet, Bring tribute to his hand. These lesser glories of the Son Shone through the fleshly cloud; Now, we behold him on his throne, And men confess him God.] Let him be crowned with majesty, Who bowed his head to death; And be his honors sounded high, By all things that have breath. Jesus, our Lord, how wondrous great Is thine exalted name! The glories of thy heav'nly state Let the whole earth proclaim.
