Psalms 103:1

• [Psa 103:1] Bless, O My Soul! The Living God

  Bless, O my soul! the living God. Call home thy thoughts that rove abroad. Let all the powers within me join In work and worship so divine, In work and worship so divine. Bless, O my soul! the God of grace. His favors claim thy highest praise. Why should the wonders He hath wrought Be lost in silence and forgot, Be lost in silence and forgot? ’Tis He, my soul, that sent His Son To die for crimes which thou hast done. He owns the ransom and forgives The hourly follies of our lives, The hourly follies of our lives. The vices of the mind He heals, And cures the pains that nature feels; Redeems the soul from hell, and saves Our wasting life from threat’ning graves. Our youth decayed, His power repairs; His mercy crowns our growing years; He satisfies our mouth with good, And fills our hopes with heav’nly food. He sees th’oppressor and th’oppressed, And often gives the suff’rers rest; But will His justice more display In the last great rewarding day. His power He showed by Moses’ hands, And gave to Israel His commands; But sent His truth and mercy down To all the nations by His Son. Let the whole earth His power confess. Let the whole earth adore His grace. The Gentile with the Jew shall join In work and worship so divine, In work and worship so divine.

  Come, O my soul, in sacred lays Attempt thy great Creator’s praise: But O, what tongue can speak His fame? What verse can reach the lofty theme? What verse can reach the lofty theme? Enthroned amid the radiant spheres, He glory like a garment wears; To form a robe of light divine, Ten thousand suns around Him shine, Ten thousand suns around Him shine. In all our Maker’s grand designs, Almighty power, with wisdom, shines; His works, through all this wondrous frame, Declare the glory of His Name, Declare the glory of His Name. Raised on devotion’s lofty wing, Do thou, my soul, His glories sing; And let His praise employ thy tongue Till listening worlds shall join the song, Till listening worlds shall join the song.

  Holy and reverend is the Name Of our eternal King: Thrice holy Lord, the angels cry; Thrice holy, let us sing. Heaven’s brightest lamps with Him compared, How mean they look and dim! The fairest angels have their spots, When once compared with Him. Holy is He in all his works, And truth is His delight; But sinners and their wicked ways Shall perish from His sight. The deepest reverence of the mind, Pay, O my soul, to God; Lift with thy hands a holy heart To His sublime abode. With sacred awe pronounce His Name, Whom words nor thoughts can reach; A broken heart shall please Him more Than the best forms of speech. Thou holy God! preserve my soul From all pollution free; The pure in heart are Thy delight, And they Thy face shall see.

• [Psa 103:1] My Soul, Now Praise Thy Maker

  My soul, now praise thy Maker! Let all within me bless His Name Who maketh thee partaker Of mercies more than thou dar’st claim. Forget Him not Whose meekness Still bears with all thy sin, Who healeth all thy weakness, Renews thy life within. Whose grace and care are endless And saved thee thro’ the past; Who leaves no suff’rer friendless, But rights the wronged at last. He shows to man His treasure Of judgment, truth, and righteousness, His love beyond all measure, His yearning pity o’er distress, Nor treats us as we merit, But lays His anger by. The humble, contrite spirit Finds His compassion nigh; And high as Heav’n above us, As break from close of day, So far, since He doth love us, He puts our sins away. For as a tender father Hath pity on his children here, He in His arms will gather All who are His in childlike fear. He knows how frail our powers Who but from dust are made; We flourish like the flowers, And even so we fade; The wind but o’er them passes, And all their bloom is o’er— We wither like the grasses, Our place knows us no more. God’s grace alone endureth, And children’s children yet shall prove How He with strength assureth The hearts of all that seek His love. In Heav’n is fixed His dwelling, His rule is over all; Angels, in might excelling, Bright hosts, before Him fall. Praise Him Who ever reigneth, All ye who hear His Word, Nor our poor hymns disdaineth— My soul, O praise the Lord!

  When silent falls the gushing tear, O’er cheeks grown pale with care; And on the heart a cross is laid That seems too hard to bear, Remember what our Lord has said, And trust, in weal or woe, His holy Word, that changeth not, Though uttered years ago. Refrain “Like as a father pitieth His children, So the Lord pitieth them that fear Him, So the Lord pitieth them that fear Him.” When one by one our treasured hopes Like autumn leaves decay, And they who made our life most dear Are borne from us away, O look beyond the veil of time, Where springs of comfort flow, And trust His Word, that changeth not, Though uttered years ago. Refrain The clouds that bode the darkest hour The purest light may bring; The heart that mourns its broken chords The sweetest song may sing; Though oft a rugged path we tread, Yet this one thing we know, God’s holy Word can never change, Though uttered years ago.

  That man is blest who stands in awe Of God, and loves His sacred law: His seed on earth shall be renowned; His house the seat of wealth shall be, An inexhausted treasury, And with successive honors crowned. His lib’ral favors he extends, To some he gives, to others lends; A gen’rous pity fills his mind: Yet what his charity impairs, He saves by prudence in affairs And thus he’s just to all mankind. His hands, while they his alms bestow’d, His glory’s future harvest sow’d; The sweet remembrance of the just, Like a green root, revives and bears A train of blessings for his heirs, When dying nature sleeps in dust. Beset with threat’ning dangers round, Unmov’d shall he maintain his ground; His conscience holds his courage up: The soul that’s fill’d with virtue’s light, Shines brightest in affliction’s night, And sees in darkness beams of hope. Ill tidings never can surprise His heart that fix’d on God relies, Though waves and tempests roar around: Safe on the rock he sits, and sees The shipwreck of his enemies, And all their hope and glory drown’d. The wicked shall his triumph see, And gnash their teeth in agony, To find their expectations cross’d; They and their envy, pride, and spite, Sink down to everlasting night, And all their names in darkness lost.

Luke 1:50

• [Luk 1:50] There’s A Wideness In God’s Mercy

  There’s a wideness in God’s mercy, Like the wideness of the sea; There’s a kindness in His justice, Which is more than liberty. There is no place where earth’s sorrows Are more felt than up in Heaven; There is no place where earth’s failings Have such kindly judgment given. There is welcome for the sinner, And more graces for the good; There is mercy with the Savior; There is healing in His blood. There is grace enough for thousands Of new worlds as great as this; There is room for fresh creations In that upper home of bliss. For the love of God is broader Than the measure of our mind; And the heart of the Eternal Is most wonderfully kind. There is plentiful redemption In the blood that has been shed; There is joy for all the members In the sorrows of the Head. ’Tis not all we owe to Jesus; It is something more than all; Greater good because of evil, Larger mercy through the fall. If our love were but more simple, We should take Him at His word; And our lives would be all sunshine In the sweetness of our Lord. Souls of men! why will ye scatter Like a crowd of frightened sheep? Foolish hearts! why will ye wander From a love so true and deep? It is God: His love looks mighty, But is mightier than it seems; ’Tis our Father: and His fondness Goes far out beyond our dreams. But we make His love too narrow By false limits of our own; And we magnify His strictness With a zeal He will not own. Was there ever kinder shepherd Half so gentle, half so sweet, As the Savior who would have us Come and gather at His feet?
