Praise God, all his Saints; or, the Saints judging the World

Appears in 57 hymnals First Line: All ye that love the Lord, rejoice Lyrics: 1 All ye that love the Lord, rejoice, And let your songs be new; Amidst the church with cheerful voice His latter wonders show. 2 The Jews, the people of his grace, Shall their Redeemer sing; And Gentile nations join the praise, While Zion owns her King. 3 The Lord takes pleasure in the just, Whom sinners treat with scorn; The meek that lie despis'd in dust Salvation shall adorn. 4 Saints should be joyful in their king, E'en on a dying bed; And like the souls in glory sing, For God shall raise the dead. 5 Then his high praise shall fill their tongues, Their hands shall wield the sword: And veng'ance shall attend their songs, The veng'ance of the Lord. 6 When Christ his judgment-seat ascends, And bids the world appear, Thrones are prepar'd for all his friends Who humbly lov'd him here. 7 Then shall they rule with iron-rod Nations that dar'd rebel: And join the sentence of their God, On tyrants doom'd to hell. 8 The royal sinners bound in chains, New triumph shall afford: Such honor for the saints remains; Praise ye and love the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 149

Appears in 12 hymnals First Line: Almighty God appear and save Lyrics: 1 Almighty God appear and save! For vice and vanity prevail: The godly perish in the grave, The just depart, the faithful fail. 2 The whole discourse, when crouds are met, Is fill'd with trifles loose and vain; Their lips are flattery and deceit, And their proud language is profane. 3 But lips that with deceit abound, Shall not maintain their triumph long: The God of vengeance will confound The flattering and blaspheming tongue. 4 "Yet shall our words be free," they cry; "Our tongues shall be controul'd by none: Where is the Lord, will ask us why? Or say, our lips are not our own?" 5 The Lord, who sees the poor opprest, And hears th' oppressor's haughty strain, Will rise to give his children rest, Nor shall they trust his word in vain. 6 Thy word, O Lord, tho' often try'd, Void of deceit shall still appear; Not silver, sev'n times purify'd From dross and mixture, shines so clear. 7 Thy grace shall in the darkest hour Defend the from danger and surprise; Tho' when the vilest men have pow'r, On every side oppressors rise. Scripture: Psalm 12

Appears in 61 hymnals First Line: Amidst thy wrath remember love Lyrics: 1 Amidst thy wrath remember love, Restore thy servant, Lord, Nor let a Father’s chast'ning prove Like an avenger’s sword. 2 Thine arrows stick within my heart, My flesh is sorely prest; Between the sorrow and the smart My spirit finds no rest. 3 My sins a heavy load appear, And o’er my head are gone; Too heavy they for me to bear, Too hard for me t’ atone. 4 My thoughts are like a troubled sea That sinks my comforts down; And I go mourning all the day Beneath my Father’s frown. 5 Lord I am weaken'd and dismay'd, None of my pow'rs are whole; My wounds with piercing anguish bleed, The anguish of my soul. 6 All my desires to thee are known, Thine eye counts ev'ry tear, And ev'ry sigh and ev'ry groan Is notic'd by thine ear. 7 Thou art my God, my only hope; My God will hear my cry, My God will bear my spirit up When Satan bids me die. [8 My foes rejoice whene'er I slide, To see my virtue fail; They raise their pleasures and their pride, Whene'er their wiles prevail. 9 But I’ll confess my guilty ways, And grieve for all my sin; I’ll mourn how weak the seeds of grace, And beg support divine. 10 My God, forgive my follies past, And be forever nigh; O Lord of my salvation haste, Before thy servant die.] Scripture: Psalm 38

Or why support th' unrighteous cause! When will ye once defend the poor, That foes may vex the saints no more? 3 They know not, Lord, nor will they know: Dark are the ways in which they go; Their name of earthly gods is vain, For they shall fall and die like men. 4 Arise, O Lord, and let thy Son Possess his universal throne, And rule the nations with his rod; He is our Judge, and he our God. Scripture: Psalm 82

Appears in 59 hymnals First Line: And will the God of grace Lyrics: 1 And will the God of grace Perpetual silence keep? The God of Justice hold his peace, And let his vengeance sleep! 2 Behold what cursed snares The men of mischief spread; The men that hate thy saints and thee, Lift up their threat'ning head. 3 Against thy hidden ones, Their counsels they employ, And malice with her watchful eye Pursues them to destroy. 4 "Come, let us join, they cry, "To root them from the ground, "'Till not the name of saints remain, "Nor mem'ry shall be found," 5 Awake, Almighty God, And call thy wrath to mind; Give them like forests, to the fire, Or stubble to the wind. 6 Convince their madness, Lord, And make them seek thy name; Or else their stubborn rage confound, That they may die in shame. 7 Then shall the nations know Thy glorious dreadful word, Jehovah is thy name alone, And thou the sov'reign Lord. Scripture: Psalm 83

Scripture: Psalm 17:13-15

Praise due to God, not to Idols

Appears in 83 hymnals First Line: Awake, ye saints: To praise your King Lyrics: 1 Awake ye saints: To praise your King Your sweetest passions raise, Your pious pleasure, while you sing, Increasing with the praise. 2 Great is the Lord; and works unknown Are his divine employ: But still his saints are near his throne, His treasure and his joy. 3 Heav'n, earth and sea confess his hand; He bids the vapours rise; Lightning and storm at his command, Sweep thro' the sounding skies. 4 All pow'r that gods or kings have claim'd, Is found with him alone; But heathen gods should ne'er be nam'd Where our Jehovah's known. 5 Which of the stocks or stones they trust, Can give them show'rs of rain? In vain they worship glitt'ring dust, And pray to God in vain. 6 Their gods have tongues that speechless prove, Such as their makers gave: Their feet were never form'd to move, Nor hands have pow'r to save. 7 Blind are their eyes, their ears are deaf, Nor hear when mortals pray; Mortals that wait for their relief, Are blind and deaf as they. 8 Ye nations, know the living God, Serve him with faith and fear; He makes the churches his abode, And claims your honoors there. Scripture: Psalm 135

Scripture: Psalm 100
