Psalm 47 (THIRD AVENUE)
02:18
|
|||
|
1.
All nations clap your hands,
Let shouts of triumph ring,
For mighty over all the lands
The Lord Most High is King.
2.
He stilled the people's rage,
Tyrants He cast aside
For us He chose our heritage,
Beloved Jacob's pride.
3.
With shouts ascends our King,
With trumpets' stirring call;
O praise ye God, His praises sing,
For God is Lord of all.
4.
O sing in joyful strains,
With psalms His truth make known;
He over all the nations reigns
Upon His holy throne.
5.
The heirs of gentile thrones
As Abr'am's children meet.
The shields of earth Jehovah owns;
Exalted is His seat.
—The Psalter of the United Presbyterian Church 1887, Alt. Henry C. Haffner & Elizabeth Dowdell, 2018.

Psalm 48 (SAINT JOHN'S)
02:34

|
1.
Within Your temple, Lord,
We on Your mercies dwell;
As is Your name adored,
So let Your praise excel:
Your praises sound through every land,
And right Your scepter shall command
Your scepter shall command
2.
Let Zion’s mount rejoice,
Let Judah's daughters praise
The Lord with cheerful voice,
For judgment He displays;
Go round the walls on Zion's mount,
Go round her splendors to recount
Her splendors to recount.
3.
The walls of Zion tell,
Her palaces survey,
Mark all her towers well,
And to your children say:
“Our God forever shall abide,
And He ‘till death, will be our guide
‘Till death, will be our guide.”
—Psalter of the United Presbyterian Church, 1887, Alt. Henry C. Haffner, 2019.

Psalm 49 (ROSE HILL)
04:28
|
|||
|
1.
Hear me, all you people hear, folk of all the earth, give ear;
All of high and low degree, rich and poor, give heed to me
Truth with all my heart I seek, and my mouth shall wisdom speak;
Listen while with music's strain I make hidden wisdom plain.
2.
When with wickedness my foes shall surround me and oppose,
Why should I to fear give way when I see the evil day;
They that trust in treasured gold, though they boast of weath untold,
None can bid his brother live; none to God a ransom give.
3.
If from death one would be free and corruption never see,
Costly is life’s ransom price, far beyond all sacrifice.
If men be not truly wise, they are like the beast that dies,
Death their shepherd, they the sheep; He within his fold will keep.
Tag:
If men be not truly wise, they are like the beast that dies
But my Lord my soul shall save; God will raise me from the grave.
—1912 Psalter, Alt. Henry C. Haffner, 2019
Based on Psalm 49:1-9, 12, 15, 20

1.
God moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform;
He plants His footsteps in the sea,
And rides upon the storm.
Deep in unfathomable mines
Of never failing skill
He treasures up His bright designs,
And works His sov'reign will.�
2.
You fearful saints, fresh courage take;
The clouds you so much dread
Are filled with mercy, and shall break
In blessings on your head.
Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust Him for His grace;
Behind a frowning providence
He hides a smiling face.�
3.
His purposes will ripen fast,
Unfolding every hour;
The bud may have a bitter taste,
But sweet will be the flow'r.
Blind unbelief is sure to err,
And scan His work in vain;
God is His own interpreter,
And He will make it plain.
—William Cowper, 1773

Psalm 36 (FLAT CREEK)
03:54
|
|||
|
1.
The wicked man fears not the Lord,
But trusts in his own way.
In his iniquity assured
He sins both night and day.
2.
But Your abundant love extends
To heaven, Lord most high.
In justice You preserve the men
And beasts who to You cry.
Chorus:
Under the shadow of Your wings
Is a river of delight.
In You, we true abundance find,
And in Your light, see light.
3.
Let not Your steadfast love depart,
Nor let us fall to pride,
But help us be upright of heart,
And Your name glorify.
—Elizabeth Dowdell, 2018.

Psalm 112 (POTTSVILLE)
03:53
|
|||
|
1.
Alleluia! How blest the man who greatly fears the Lord!
Who daily finds delight within Jehovah’s Holy Word
His children for their might shall be in all the land renowned;
The generation of the just in blessings shall abound.
2.
Light to the upright shall arise, though he in darkness be;
Compassionate, and merciful and ever just is he.
There surely is not any thing that ever shall him move:
The righteous man's memorial shall everlasting prove.
3.
When evil tidings he shall hear, he shall not be afraid:
His heart is fixed, his confidence upon the Lord is stayed.
Established firmly is his heart, afraid he shall not be,
Until among his enemies, his triumph He shall see.
4.
Abundant wealth within his house shall ever be in store;
And his unspotted righteousness endures forevermore.
The wicked ones shall see, and grieve: their teeth will gnash away,
For what the wicked most desire shall utterly decay.
—The Psalter of the United Presbyterian Church, 1887, Alt. Henry C. Haffner, 2018.

Psalm 22 (DONELSON)
04:07
|
|||
|
1.
My God, My God, come hear my plea; O why have You forsaken me?
You’re far from me in my distress; both day and night I find no rest.
Our fathers trusted in Your name, were saved, and were not put to shame;
But in the dust my honor lies, while all reproach and all despise.
2.
On You, On You I learned to rest when I was on my mother’s breast;
From birth You were my God alone, Your care my life has ever known.
O let Your strength and presence cheer, for trouble and despair are near;
O be not far away from me, no other source of help I see.
3.
My foes, My foes would do me wrong, for they surround me fierce and strong,
Like beasts of prey they mock and rail, my strength is spent, my courage fails.
Near death You have abandoned me, consumed by thirst and agony,
With cruel hate and anger fierce, my helpless hands and feet they pierce.
4.
My bones, my bones they have laid bare, the garments torn from me they share
My shame and sorrow counting not, and for my robe they cast their lots.
O Lord, afar no longer stay; O Lord, my help, make haste, I pray;
From death and evil set me free; I live, for You have answered me.

O Lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world,
have mercy on us.
O Lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.
O Lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world, grant us Thy peace .

Psalm 149 (PULASKI)

|
|||
|
Chorus:
O praise ye the Lord and sing a new song,
Amid all His saints His praises prolong.
The praise of their maker His people shall sing,
And children of Zion rejoice in their King.
1.
With drums and with harp sing praise to His Name;
Give praise with your dance, and joyful acclaim.
For God in His people His pleasure will seek.
Beauty and salvation He gives to the meek.
2.
In glory exult, you saints of the Lord
With songs on your beds loud praises accord.
His word is a two-edged sword in your hand
To execute vengeance on all heathen lands.
3.
Great rulers you’ll bind and kingdoms destroy
These honors are yours, these triumphs enjoy.
For Lo! It is written His saints shall not fail:
O sing “Alleluia,” His might shall prevail.
—The Psalter, 1909/New Version of the Psalms of David In Metre, 1709 Alt. Henry C. Haffner, 2019
Based on Psalm 149:1-9

1.
O tell me no more of this world's vain store,
The time for such trifles with me now is o'er'
A country I've found where true joys abound,
To dwell I'm determined on that happy ground
Forever on that happy ground
2.
No mortal man knows what Jesus bestows,
What life strength and comfort! go after Him, go!
Lo, onward I move, to see Him above,
None guesses how wondrous my journey will prove,
How wondrous my journey will prove.
3.
Great spoils I shall win from death, hell and sin,
'Mid outward affliction, know Jesus within;
And still, which is best, I in His dear breast,
As at the beginning, find pardon and rest,
With Jesus find pardon and rest.
4.
When I am to die, "Receive me," I'll cry,
For Jesus has loved me, I cannot tell why.
But this I do find, we two are so joined,
He'll not live in glory and leave me behind
He never will leave me behind.
5.
This blessing is mine, through favor divine,
And O, my dear Jesus, the praise shall be Thine
In heaven we'll meet in harmony sweet,
And glory to Jesus! We'll then be complete,
O glory! We’ll then be complete.
—John Gamobold, 18th C. ; Alt. Henry C. Haffner, 2019
