Psalms 103:1-15

• [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.

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!

Hark! the loud celestial hymn Angel choirs above are raising, Cherubim and seraphim, In unceasing chorus praising; Fill the heavens with sweet accord: Holy, holy, holy, Lord. Lo! the apostolic train Join the sacred Name to hallow; Prophets swell the loud refrain, And the white robed martyrs follow; And from morn to set of sun, Through the Church the song goes on. Holy Father, Holy Son, Holy Spirit, Three we name Thee; While in essence only One, Undivided God we claim Thee; And adoring bend the knee, While we own the mystery. Thou art King of glory, Christ: Son of God, yet born of Mary; For us sinners sacrificed, And to death a tributary: First to break the bars of death, Thou has opened Heaven to faith. From Thy high celestial home, Judge of all, again returning, We believe that Thou shalt come In the dreaded doomsday morning; When Thy voice shall shake the earth, And the startled dead come forth. Therefore do we pray Thee, Lord: Help Thy servants whom, redeeming By Thy precious blood out-poured, Thou hast saved from Satan’s scheming. Give to them eternal rest In the glory of the blest. Spare Thy people, Lord, we pray, By a thousand snares surrounded: Keep us without sin today, Never let us be confounded. Lo, I put my trust in Thee; Never, Lord, abandon me.

• [Psa 103:8] Lord, How Wondrous Are His Ways, The

  The Lord, how wondrous are His ways! How firm His truth! how large His grace! He takes His mercy for His throne, And thence He makes His glories known. Not half so high His power hath spread The starry heav’ns above our head, As His rich love exceeds our praise, Exceeds the highest hopes we raise. Not half so far hath nature placed The rising morning from the west, As His forgiving grace removes The daily guilt of those He loves. How slowly doth His wrath arise! On swifter wings salvation flies; And if He lets His anger burn, How soon His frowns to pity turn. Amidst His wrath compassion shines; His strokes are lighter than our sins; And while His rod corrects His saints, His ear indulges their complaints. So fathers their young sons chastise With gentle hand and melting eyes; The children weep beneath the smart, And move the pity of their heart. The mighty God, the wise and just, Knows that our frame is feeble dust; And will no heavy loads impose Beyond the strength that He bestows. He knows how soon our nature dies, Blasted by every wind that flies; Like grass we spring, and die as soon, Or morning flowers that fade at noon. But His eternal love is sure To all the saints, and shall endure; From age to age His truth shall reign, Nor children’s children hope in vain.

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.

The flower is withered by the wind That smites with blighting breath; So man is quickly swept away Before the blast of death.

To breathe, and wake, and sleep, To smile, to sigh, to grieve; To move in idleness through earth, This, this is not to live! Up, then, with speed, and work; Fling ease and self away; This is no time for thee to sleep, Up, watch, and work, and pray! The useful, not the great, The thing that never dies, The silent toil that is not lost— Set these before thine eyes. The seed, whose leaf and flower, Though poor in human sight, Bring forth at last th’eternal fruit, Sow thou by day and night.

  The moon shines bright and the stars give a light A little before the day: Our mighty Lord He looked on us, And bade us awake and pray. Awake, awake, good people all, Awake, and you shall hear, The Lord our God died on the cross For us He loved so dear. O fair, O fair Jerusalem, When shall I come to thee? When shall my sorrows have an end, Thy joy that I may see? The fields were green as green could be, When from His glorious seat, Our blessèd Father watered us, With His heavenly dew so sweet. And for the saving of our souls Christ died upon the cross; We ne’er shall do for Jesus Christ As He hath done for us. The life of man is but a span, And cut down in its flower, We’re here today, tomorrow gone, The creatures of an hour. Instruct and teach your children well, The while that you are here; It will be better for your soul, When your corpse lies on the bier. Today you may be alive and well, Worth many a thousand pound; Tomorrow dead and cold as clay, Your corpse laid underground. With one turf at thine head, O man, And another at thy feet; Thy good deeds and thy bad, O man, Will altogether meet. My song is done, I must be gone, I can stay no longer here; God bless you all, both great and small, And send you a joyful new year!

• [Psa 103:15] What Sweet Of Life Endureth?

  What sweet of life endureth Unmixed with bitter pain? ’Midst earthly change and chances What glory doth remain? All is a feeble shadow, A dream that will not stay; Death cometh in a moment, And taketh all away. O Christ, a light transcendent Shines in Thy countenance, And none can tell the sweetness, The beauty of Thy glance. In this may Thy poor servant His joy eternal find; Thou calledst him, O rest him, Thou Lover of mankind!
