The prayer of faith shall bring him down, With myriads from above.
3 What joy his presence shall afford,
To those who love his name;
And in their hands his two-edg'd sword
Shall put his foes to shame.
4 The saints shall rule with iron rod
The sinners who rebell,
And join the sentence of their God,
On tyrants doom'd to hell.
5 The written judgments of our King
Must be fulfill'd at last;
Make haste, ye fowls of heavenly wing,
And take your full repast.
6 Come, eat the pamper'd flesh of those
Who scorn the judgment hour;
The men, who dare our God to 'oppose,
Your talons must devour.
7 Behold the dreadful day begins,
Ye nations quake for fear,
You must be punish'd for your sins,
For Christ the Judge is near.
8 The bloody tyrant bound with chains,
Shall leave the world abhorr'd;
But honor for the saint remains,
Praise ye the sovreign Lord.
PSALM 149. L. M.
The saints triumphant.
1 PRAISE ye the Lord; proclaim him King, Ye saints, his power and glory sing, High in the church your voices raise, In new melodious songs of praise. 2 Let Israel hear his sovreign voice, And in his Maker's love, rejoice;
Let Zion's sons, a chosen race, Be joyful in the God of grace. 5 The Lord in virtue takes delight, His saints are honor'd in his sight, He will at last reward the meek, "And they shall find the rest they seek. 4 Rejoice, ye saints, lift up your heads Triumphant on your dying beds; Rejoice in God, and sing aloud, For, lo! he comes to judge the proud. 5 Let the high praises of your God Inspire your lips; for with his rod You shall subdue the factious bands, His two-edg'd sword is in your
6 'Tis yours oppressors to pursue
With vengeance long to tyrants due;
You shall the power of kings restrain,
And bind the nobles with your chain.
Award the judgment God decreed
Against the serpent and his seed,
This honor to the just belongs;
Praise ye the Lord in joyful songs.
PSALM 150. C. M.
A song of pruise.
1 PRAISE ye the Lord, ye saints below,
With heavenly rapture sing;
Let all the world his glory show,
And make the churches ring.
2 Praise him, ye heavenly worlds above,
How glorious are his deeds,
How far the work of saving love
Your highest praise exceeds.
3 O chant the name of Jesus round,
Let heaven and earth rejoice;
Advance his praise with mixed sound,
From trumpet, harp, and voice.
4 All that have motion, life and breath, Pronounce the Savior blest;
But when my voice expires in death,
My soul shall praise him best.
TO God the Father, God the Son,
And God the Spirit, three in one,
Be honor, praise, and glory given,
By all on earth and all in heaven.
Common Meter.
ALL honor, praise and glory be
To God's tremendous name;
In essence one, in persons three,
From endless years the same.
WE bless the sacred one,
Whose nature is the same,
The Father, Spirit and the Son,
Jehovah is his name.
1 TO praise the sacred one in three,
Let all on earth as one agree,
And join the heavenly hosts above
To celebrate his power and love.
2 The Father laid the wond'rous plan,
The Son came down to die for man,
The Spirit works with God the Son,
And all the three subsist in one.
1 NOW be the name of God ador'd,
Who saves our race from wo,
But still employs his dreadful sword
Against the stubborn foe.
2 O bless the Father, praise the Son,
Adore the sacred dove,
Resound the victory Jesus won,
And triumph in his love.
1 WE bless the God, I AM,
Who reigns in heaven above,
All honor to the bleeding Lamb,
His love demands our love.
2 Redeem'd from death and sin
We praise the Paraclete,
Who doth in us his grace begin,
And makes the work complete.
Let heaven and earth as one agree,
To praise the great the sacred three,
Whose nature and whose views are one;
Jehovah is his glorious name,
He lives from endless years the same,
Thro heaven and earth his will is done.
As the 148th Psalm.
TO God, the eternal one,
Our voices now we raise,
The Father and the Son,
And Spirit too, we praise.
God is the same
Misterious three,
Let all agree
To praise his name.
As the old 50th Psalm.
TO him who was, and is, and is to be
One in Jehovah, in Elohim three,
Father of all, in whom all creatures live,
Let heaven and earth to God the glory give;
Equal in grace, in power alike victorious,
The Father, Son, and Spirit are all glorious.
