248. Overshadowing
Protection. Psalm 91. L.M.
The man who once
has found abode
Within the secret
place of God
Shall with
Almighty God abide,
And in His shadow
safely hide.
I of the Lord my
God will say,
He is my refuge
and my stay;
To Him for safety
I will flee,
In Him my
constant trust shall be.
The Lord with His
protecting care
Shall keep thee
from the hidden snare;
When fearful
plagues around prevail
Thy life the
scourge shall not assail.
Thou shalt
beneath His wings abide,
And safe within
His care confide;
His faithfulness
shall ever be
A sure protection
unto thee.
No nightly
terrors shall alarm,
No deadly shaft
by day shall harm,
Nor pestilence
that walks by night,
Nor plagues that
waste in noonday light.
At Thy right
hand, though thousands die,
No harm shall
unto thee come nigh;
But thou secure,
unharmed, shalt see
What wicked men's
reward shall be.
249. The Reward of Perfect
Trust. Psalm 91. L.M.
Because Thy trust
is God alone,
Thy refuge is the
Highest One,
No evil shall
upon thee come,
Nor plague
approach thy guarded home.
Angelic guards at
His commands
Will bear thee
safely in their hands,
Will keep thee,
lest, if left alone,
Thou dash Thy
foot against the stone.
Though fierce and
treacherous foes assail,
Their power and
wrath shall not prevail;
Their cruel
strength, their venomed spite,
Thou shalt
o'ercome with conquering might.
Because on Me he
set his love,
I will his
constant Saviour prove,
And since to him
My Name is known,
I will exalt him
as My own.
As oft as he
shall call on Me,
Most gracious
shall My answer be;
I will be with
him in distress,
And in his
trouble I will bless.
Complete
deliverance I will give,
And honor him
while he shall live;
Abundant life I
will bestow,
To him My full
salvation show.
250. The Duty of Praise. Psalm 92. L.M.
How good it is to
thank the Lord,
And praise to
Thee, Most High, accord,
To show Thy love
with morning light,
And tell Thy
faithfulness each night;
Yea, good it is
Thy praise to sing,
And all our
sweetest music bring.
O Lord, with joy
my heart expands
Before the
wonders of Thy hands;
Great works,
Jehovah, Thou hast wrought,
Exceeding deep
Thy every thought;
A foolish man
knows not their worth,
Nor he whose mind
is of the earth.
When as the grass
the wicked grow,
When sinners
flourish here below,
Then is there
endless ruin nigh,
But Thou, O Lord,
art throned on high;
Thy foes shall
fall before Thy might,
The wicked shall
be put to flight.
Thou, Lord, hast
high exalted ma
With royal
strength and dignity;
With Thy
anointing I am blest,
Thy grace and
favor on me rest;
I thus exult o'er
all my foes,
O'er all that
would my cause oppose.
The righteous man
shall flourish well,
And in the house
of God shall dwell;
He shall be like
a goodly tree,
And all his life
shall fruitful be;
For righteous is
the Lord and just,
He is my Rock, in
Him I trust.
251. Joyful Worship. Psalm 92. 8s
and 7s.
It is good to
sing Thy praises
And to thank
Thee, O Most High,
Showing forth Thy
lovingkindness
When the morning
lights the sky.
It is good when
night is falling
Of Thy
faithfulness to tell,
While with sweet,
melodious praises
Songs of
adoration swell.
Thou hast filled
my heart with gladness
Through the works
Thy hands have wrought;
Thou hast made my
life victorious,
Great Thy works
and deep Thy thought.
Thou, O Lord, on
high exalted,
Reignest evermore
in might;
All Thy enemies
shall perish,
Sin be banished
from Thy sight.
But the good
shall live before Thee,
Planted in Thy
dwelling-place,
Fruitful trees
and ever verdant,
Nourished by Thy
boundless grace.
In His goodness
to the righteous
God His
righteousness displays;
God my rock, my
strength and refuge,
Just and true are
all His ways.
252. The Divine Rule and
Power. Psalm 93. S.M.
Jehovah sits
enthroned
In majesty most
bright,
Appareled in
omnipotence,
And girded round
with might.
The world
established stands
On its
foundations broad;
His throne is
fixed, He reigns supreme,
The everlasting
God.
The floods have
lifted up
Their voice in
majesty,
But mighty is the
Lord our God
Above the raging
sea.
Thy testimonies,
Lord,
In faithfulness
excel,
And holy must Thy
servants be
Who in Thy temple
dwell.
253. God the Righteous Judge.
Psalm 94. L.M.
O Lord, Thou
Judge of all the earth,
To Whom all
vengeance doth belong,
Arise and show
Thy glory forth,
Requite the
proud, condemn the wrong.
How long, O Lord,
in boastful pride
Shall wicked men
triumphant stand?
How long shall
they afflict Thy saints
And devastate Thy
chosen land?
The widow and the
fatherless
They slay, and
helpless strangers smite;
The faithful God
they do not fear,
They say the Lord
will not requite.
Be wise, ye fools
and brutish men;
Shall not He see
Who formed the eye?
Shall not He hear
Who formed the ear,
And judge, Who
reigneth, God Most High?
The Lord will
judge in righteousness,
From Him all
truth and knowledge flow;
The foolish
thoughts of wicked men,
How vain they are
the Lord doth know.
That man is blest
whom Thou, O Lord,
With chastening
hand dost teach Thy will,
For in the day
when sinners fall
That man in peace
abideth still.
The Lord will not
cast off His own,
Nor His
inheritance forsake;
Just judgment
shall at length prevail,
And upright
hearts shall courage take.
Who will arise
for my defense
Against the
wicked in the land?
Against iniquity
and wrong
What man for me
will valiant stand?
Unless the Lord
had been my help,
My life had
quickly passed away;
But when my foot
had almost slipped,
O Lord, Thy mercy
was my stay.
Amid the doubts
that fill my mind
Thy comforts,
Lord, bring joy to me;
Can wickedness,
though throned in might,
Have fellowship,
O Lord, with Thee?
The wicked, in
their might arrayed,
Against the
righteous join their power,
But to the Lord I
flee for help,
He is my refuge
and my tower.
Our God, the
refuge of His saints,
Will fight
against iniquity;
Avenger of the
innocent
The Lord
omnipotent will be.
254. An Invitation to
Worship. Psalm 95. L.M.
O come before the
Lord, our King,
And in His
presence let us sing;
Let us in glad
and joyful lays
The Rock of our
salvation praise;
Before Him come
with thankful song,
In joyful psalms
His praise prolong.
Almighty power
the Lord maintains,
Exalted over all
He reigns;
He holds the
valleys in His hand,
He makes the
mighty mountains stand;
To Him belong
both land and sea,
Creator of the
world is He.
O come and let us
worship now,
Before our Maker
let us bow;
We are His sheep
and He our God,
He feeds our
souls in pastures broad;
He safely leads
us in the way;
O come and heed
His voice today.
Take heed and
harden not your heart
As did your
fathers, nor depart
From God to
follow in their ways;
For with
complaints instead of praise,
With doubt
instead of faith confessed,
They put their
mercy to the test.
Take heed that ye
provoke Him not
As did your
fathers, who forgot,
With erring
heart, God's holy ways
And grieved Him
all their sinful days;
To whom in wrath
Jehovah sware,
My promised rest
they shall not share.
255. Adoration and
Submission. Psalm 95. 8s and 7s.
Now with joyful
exultation
Let us sing
Jehovah's praise,
To the Rock of
our salvation
Loud hosannas let
us raise;
Thankful tribute
gladly bringing,
Let us come
before Him now,
And, with psalms
His praises singing,
Joyful in His
presence bow.
For, how great a
God, and glorious,
Is Jehovah Whom
we sing;
Over idol-gods
victorious,
Great is He, our
God and King.
In His hand are
earth's deep places,
His the strength
of all the hills,
His the sea whose
bounds He traces,
His the land His
bounty fills.
To the Lord, such
might revealing,
Let us come with
reverence meet,
And, before our
Maker kneeling,
Let us worship at
His feet.
He is our own God
and leads us,
We the people of
His care;
With a shepherd's
hand He feeds us
As His flock in
pastures fair.
While He proffers
peace and pardon
Let us hear His
voice today,
Lest, if we our
hearts should harden,
We should perish
in the way;
Lest to us, so
unbelieving,
He in judgment
shall declare:
Ye, so long My
Spirit grieving,
Never in My rest
can share.
256. Worship and Its
Motives. Psalm 95. C.M.
O come and to
Jehovah sing,
To Him our voices
raise;
Let us in our
most joyful songs
The Lord our
Saviour praise.
Before His
presence let us come
With praise and
thankful voice;
Let us sing
psalms to Him with grace,
With grateful
hearts rejoice.
Jehovah is a
mighty King,
Above all gods
His throne;
The depths of
earth are in His hand,
The mountains are
His own.
To Him the
spacious sea belongs,
He made its waves
and tides;
And by His hand
the rising land
Was formed, and
still abides.
O come, and
bowing down to Him
Our worship let
us bring;
Yea, let us kneel
before the Lord,
Our Maker and our
King.
257. The Evangel of the
Kingdom. Psalm 96. C.M.
O sing a new song
to the Lord,
Sing all the
earth to God;
In daily praises
bless His Name
And tell His
grace abroad.
Among the nations
far and wide
His glory
celebrate;
To all the
peoples of the earth
His wondrous
works relate.
The Lord is great
above all gods,
Let glad hosannas
rise;
The heathen gods
are idols vain;
Jehovah made the
skies.
Great honor is
before His face,
And majesty
divine;
Within His holy
dwellingplace
Both strength and
beauty shine.
Let all the
peoples of the earth
Give glory to the
Lord,
Give Him the
glory due His Name
And strength to
Him accord;
With offerings
come ye to His courts,
In holy beauty
bow,
Let all the earth
with reverence come
And serve Jehovah
now.
To all the
nations of the earth
The blessed
tidings bring;
Tell all the
world Jehovah reigns,
The universal
King.
The world shall
therefore stand unmoved,
Established by
His might;
And just is He to
judge the wrong
And vindicate the
right.
Let heaven and
earth and sounding sea
To Him glad
tribute bring;
Let field and
wood and all therein
Before Jehovah
sing;
For, lo, He comes
to judge the earth,
And all the world
shall see
His everlasting
faithfulness,
His truth and
equity.
258. The Message of
Redemption. Psalm 96. L.M.
O sing a new song
to the Lord,
Sing all the
earth and bless His Name;
From day to day
His praise record,
The Lord's
redeeming grace proclaim.
Tell all the
world His wondrous ways,
Tell heathen
nations far and near;
Great is the
Lord, and great His praise,
And Him alone let
nations fear.
The heathen gods
are idols vain;
The shining
heavens the Lord supports;
Both light and
honor lead His train,
While strength
and beauty fill His courts.
Let every tongue
and every tribe
Give to the Lord
due praise and sing;
All glory unto
Him ascribe,
Come, throng His
courts, and offerings bring.
O fear and bow,
adorned with grace,
And tell each
land that God is King;
The earth He
founded in its place,
And justice to
the world will bring.
Let heaven be
glad, let earth rejoice,
The teeming sea
resound with praise;
Let waving fields
lift high their voice,
And all the trees
their anthem raise.
So let them shout
before our God,
For, lo, He
comes, He comes with might,
To wield the
scepter and the rod,
To judge the
world with truth and right.
259. The Universal King. Psalm 96. 11s,
10, 9.
Sing to the Lord,
sing His praise, all ye peoples,
New be your song
as new honors ye pay;
Sing of His
majesty, bless Him forever,
Show His
salvation from day to day.
Tell of His
wondrous works, tell of His glory,
Till through the
nations His Name is revered;
Praise and exalt
Him, for He is almighty,
God over all let
the Lord be feared.
Vain are the
heathen gods, idols and helpless;
God made the
heavens, and His glory they tell;
Honor and majesty
shine out before Him,
Beauty and
strength in His temple dwell.
Give unto God
Most High glory and honor,
Come with your
offerings and humbly draw near;
In holy beauty
now worship Jehovah,
Tremble before
Him with godly fear.
Make all the
nations know God reigns forever;
Earth is
established as He did decree;
Righteous and
just is the King of the nations,
Judging the
people with equity.
Let heaven and
earth be glad; waves of the ocean,
Forest and field,
exultation express;
For God is
coming, the Judge of the nations,
Coming to judge
in His righteousness.
260. Divine Sovereignty. Psalm 97. L.M.
Jehovah reigns;
let earth be glad
And all the isles
their joy make known;
With clouds and
darkness He is clad,
On truth and
justice rests His throne.
Consuming fire
destroys His foes,
Around the world
his lightnings blaze;
The trembling
earth His presence know,
The mountains
melt before His gaze.
The heavens His
righteousness proclaim,
Through earth His
glory shines abroad;
From idol-worship
turn with shame
And bow before
the living God.
Thy Church
rejoices to behold
Thy judgments in
the earth, O Lord;
Thy glory to the
world unfold,
Supreme o'er all
be Thou adored.
All ye that truly
love the Lord,
Hate sin, for He
is just and pure;
To saints His
help He will accord
And keep them in
His love secure.
For good men
light and joy are sown
To bless them in
the harvesttime;
Ye saints, your
joy in God make known
And ever praise
His Name sublime.
261. The Victories of
Jesus Christ. Psalm 98. 8s and 7s.
Sing a new song
to Jehovah
For the wonders
He hath wrought;
His right hand
and arm most holy
Triumph to His
cause have brought.
In His love and
tender mercy
He hath made
salvation known,
In the sight of
every nation
He His
righteousness hath shown.
Truth and mercy
toward His people
He hath ever kept
in mind,
And His full and
free salvation
He hath shown to
all mankind.
Sing, O earth,
sing to Jehovah,
Praises to
Jehovah sing;
With the swelling
notes of music
Shout before the
Lord, the King.
Seas with all
your fullness thunder,
All earth's
peoples now rejoice;
Floods and hills
in praise uniting
To the Lord lift
up your voice.
For, behold,
Jehovah cometh,
Robed in justice
and in might;
He alone will
judge the nations,
And His judgment
shall be right.
262. A Salvation for the
World. Psalm 98. 6s and 5s.
Unto God our
Saviour
Sing a joyful
song;
Wondrous are His
doings,
For His arm is
strong.
He has wrought
salvation,
He has made it
known,
