A COLLECTION OF Divine Hymns Upon Several Occasions Suited to our common Tunes for the use of Devout Christians in Singing forth the Praises of God Licensed 1693. Edw. Cooke LONDON Printed for Tho. Parkhurst at the Bible and Three Crowns the lower end of Cheapside 1694. THE PREFACE FOR the Publication of this little Book I may not make use of the Instance of the Painter that took an Eye from one a Limb from another and a Complexion from a third c. lest some should expect too much Excellency here know this that it was only a Collection with several Additions and Alterations for my own Family But some seeing of it desired that it might be made publick I am very sensible that the right performance of this Duty in Verse in a Spiritual manner is of greater difficulty than Prayer and Praise is in Prose because here the Words and Composure is not our own For all Psalmody falling under the Rules of Art and confin'd to Sounds there is not that freedom of Soul to express the present Conceptions of our Mind and Spirit as in Prose though many times the Verse hits upon the very thoughts of our Hearts and may express them better than we could our selves but this is accidental I confess this is one of the Arguments for Forms of Prayer and truly I must own there is a necessity of betaking our selves to well Composed Forms in Hymns and Psalms for I know of no Ministers or Christians that pretend to any accuracy in sudden extempory Hymns or putting a Psalm of David into Verse so well suddenly as they can by Study Premeditation and Composure especially for the use and benefit of others It is not my business here to dispute others have well answered all other Baxter's Paraph on Psalms Objections against this Duty It 's easily understood that he that Prays is the mouth of all the rest and it 's their great Duty that joyn with him to labour affectionately to go along with him in their Spirits and at last to say Amen to all that they apprehend hath been according to the will of God But in Psalms and Hymns they are all Mouths all vocally Praise God therefore ought to hear before hand or have it before them in a Book what is to be Sung and this must not be only to avoid Confusion but it is necessary in all Harmony that Words and Sounds be Concordantly the same And here lies the difference between Prayer and Praise in Verse or Psalmody and Prayer and Praise in Prose this first being vocally express'd by one the other vocally expressed by all It must be acknowledged that there must be a due regard had to variety of Psalms and Hymns lest we dull and cloy our selves in the use of this Spiritual and Evangelical Duty and indeed I cannot but express my experience in this matter that an excellent new and well composed Hymn or the often varying in this ordinance doth much affect me and I believe all persons will acknowledge that the often or constant use of the same Psalm or Hymn hath not such a tendency to stir up such lively affections And I need not tell any the reason of this that knows any thing of the Soul of Man and the humane nature which must be delighted even in the worship of God I hope some will collect more and better for the benefit of the Church and those that do believe and that none will gruâ—â—h us this most ancient useful nay glorious imployment if they do they are worse than the Heathen Pliny who gives an account of the Christians not scoffingly in his time this being one part of their character that it was their practice to sing praises to God and to one Jesus whom they called their Redeemer before the break of day If any shall benefit by the use of this little Collection or be excited to set upon the Work and do it far better it is that which I hope for earnestly desiring God may have the glory and believers Souls the help and advantage by such an attempt Yours c.

home Hymn XXXI As the 100 Psalm NOt unto us Lord not to us But to thy Name the Praise we owe To thy free goodness and thy truth The springs whence all our Blessings flow Why should the Heathen ask in scorn Where is the God whom you adore In Heav'n he reigns but does on Earth What e're his Will ordain'd before Silver and Gold their Idols are And all their worth derive from thence With no Divinity inspir'd Since they are void of Life or Sense For tho' the Maker forms an Eye A Mouth or any other part He cannot give them sight or breath Nor lively motion by his Art Fond Men to think your Hands can make A God to which our knee should bow You trust what cannot help it self Statues have Sense as much as you The silent Grave cannot declare Thy wonders nor proclaim thy praise We 'll now begin that Blessed work Which shall continue all our days 110 Psalm as 100. THus spake the Lord unto his Son Sit thou advanc'd at my Right-hand Till all thy conquer'd Foes shall crouch And wait their doom from thy Command From Sion shall thy Word go forth Which like a Scepter thou shalt sway To bring the stubborn under rule And make them willingly obey Thy Conquest shall be great that day The numerous Converts thou shalt view Shall make an Army that exceeds The Chrystal drops of morning dew The Lord hath all his Truth ingag'd By Oath which he can never break To make thee an Eternal Priest Of th' Order of Melchizedeck And when he 's raised to his Throne Proud Monarchs that oppose his Reign Shall fall and all the wicked World That will not stoop to him be slain While he pursues this Work he 'll stoop To mean refreshments in the way But with a glorious reward God will his sufferings repay 103 Psalm as 100. BLess thou the Lord my Soul his Name Let all the Powers within me Bless O Let not his past favours lie Forgotten in unthankfulness It 's he that pardons all thy sins He that in sickness makes thee sound It 's he redeemed from the Grave Thy Life with love and mercy crown'd It 's he that fills thy Mouth with good And all thy just desires supplies Who like the Eagles makes thine Age To a renewed youth arise From his strict Justice sure relief Oppressed Innocence shall find Moses and Israel knew his ways And th' inclinations of his mind Abundant Mercies flow from God Love is his nature and delight Slow is his wrath and tho' he chides Intends not to destroy us quite Man's Days are like the Grass or Flow'r That in the Field its beauty shews But fades with ev'ry blasting Wind And then its former place none knows But Gods eternal Truth and Love Is to good men and to their Race Those that his Laws and Cov'nant keep His favour ever will embrace Circled with glorious light his Throne The Lord has plac'd in Heav'n above Whose mighty Pow'r and sov'raign Rule Extends o're all that live and move Bless God ye Angels who in strength And ready services transcend Bless him ye Hosts and Ministers Who all to do his Will attend Let all his Works thro' all the World To praise their glorious Lord accord And O my Soul bear thou thy part And ever bless and praise the Lord. 104 Psalm As the 100 MY Soul forever bless the Lord To this his greatness do's invite Honour and Majesty 's his Robe His beauteous Vesture's splendid light He as a Tent the Heav'n extends Whose Rooms on liquid Waters stay Clouds are his Chariot and the Winds With their wing'd Wheels meet out his way Angels as swift as air as bright As flames with quick obedience move To publish and effect below His Pleasure giv'n in charge above The Earth's foundations are unknown No Pillars rais'd its weight to bear And yet no pow'r can make it move Tho' it hangs loose in flued Air.

He from the Hills thro' secret veins Causes the Chrystal Springs to burst They glide thro' Valleys where the Beasts And the Wild Asses quench their thirst Their Birds are taught with curious Art Their Nests in shady Boughs to raise And by their chearful notes reprove Our silence in our Makers praise Nor can the higher grounds which gape For thirst complain that they 're forgot Clouds big with show'rs on them distill And Water ev'ry barren plat Great God how various are thy works Created all with wondrous skill Thy Blessings Lord enrich the Earth And the Seas spacious bosom fill If God but in displeasure frown The whole Creation needs must Mourn If he with-holds his Breath or theirs They dye and to their dust return The great employment of my life Shall be to praise the mighty Lord To think upon his love and works The sweetest pleasure will afford Dr. W. 95. Psalm COme let us with united joys To God our voices raise With thankful hearts before him come And loudly sing his praise Our Lord is a great God and King In powers eminent Above all Gods him Angels serve And Princes represent The secrets of the Earth and strength Of Hills are in his Hand He made the Waters of the Sea And for their bounds dry Land To him that made us let us kneel And Adorations give Who are his People and the Sheep That on his Pastures live To day let 's hear his voice and not Such hard'ned Sinners prove As those that in the Wilderness Provoked God above They prov'd his Pow'r and saw his Works And griev'd him forty year Till wearied with that murm'ring race He could no longer bear He did their unbelief and base Ingratitude detest And in his anger sware they should Not come into his Rest Coll. 71. Psalm as the 25. MY Soul on God relys Let none disgrace my trust Lord hear and save me when I call As thou art good and just Be thou my sure defence Whereto I may resort Make good thy gracious promise Lord Be thou my Rock and Fort. Lord when my strength decays And when my years decline Do not forsake or cast me off But own me still as thine To no supports I 'll fly But to thy strength Divine No other goodness shall be nam'd Or faithfulness but thine These from my youth I 've learnt And hitherto declar'd Thy Wond'rous works forsake me not Now when I am Grey-hair'd Thou shalt again revive My Soul with grief deprest Thou Lord wilt raise my low estate Comfort and give me rest My chearful Tongue and Lips Shall loudly bear a part In praising thee when tun'd and rais'd By a most thankful heart This shall be my great work To celebrate thy fame who 'll me Redeem and bring also My Enemies to shame 63 Psalm EArly O Lord my fainting Soul Thy Mercy do's implore No Traveller in desert land Can thirst for Waters more I long t' appear as I was wont Within thy holy place Thy Power and Glory to behold And to obtain thy Grace
For Life it self without thy love No rellish do's afford No other Joys can equal this To serve and praise the Lord. I 'll therefore make my Pray'rs to thee And bless thee whilst I live This like the choicest dainties will Both food and pleasure give When others sleep my wakeful thoughts Present thee to my mind And in the night I think how good My God has been and kind Since thou alone hast been my help To thee alone I fly And on thy watchful Providence With chearfulness rely Dangers whilst thou art near to me Do threaten me in vain When I keep close to God his care And pow'r will me sustain 65 Psalm As the 100. PRaises in Sion wait for thee And there the vow perform'd shall be To the O God that hearest Pray'r All flesh shall chearfully repair Our Sins may justly put a stop To all that good from thee we hope Thy Mercy do's those fears allay For this will purge our sins away O happy they that may draw near To thee and in thy Courts appear For these shall all refreshments have Thy house can give or they can crave By thy amazing wonders thou Thy kindness to the good dost shew The ends of th' Earth in thee confide And th' Isles that in the Sea reside Thy Care prevents a threatning Dearth Thou visitest the thirsty Earth Show'rs to enrich her barren Womb From thy full springs above do come The Wilderness refresht with Rain Tho' parcht before now springs again The little Hills new Garments wear And in their youthful green appear Flocks are the Cloathing of the Plains The Vails are cover'd o'er with grain All Nature seems to shout and sing To welcome in the hopeful spring 51 Psalm BEhold O Lord my sinful Soul To thee for Mercy flies Thy Mercy boundless is blot out all mine iniquities Oh! wash away my Crimes for thou Alone canst make me clean I now confess my guilt amaz'd To see how vile I 've been I was conceiv'd and born in Sin So prone to do amiss But Purity and Truth of Heart To thee most pleasing is Shew thou art reconcil'd as these Whom Hysop sprinkles know They are absolv'd thy Grace can wash And make me white as Snow My Sins have forfeited the joys And peace that once I had Thy voice would heal my broken bones Thy pardon make me glad Create in me O Lord a Heart Unspotted in thy sight Renew in me a mind unmov'd from goodness and upright Lord do not cast me from thy sight As one thou canst not love Nor let thy Spir't tho' griev'd so much Its Grace from me remove My open'd lips shall sing thy praise For this thou dost desire Rather than Sacrifice of Beasts Consumed in the Fire Thou dost a broken contrite heart More than all off'rings prise This present now I humbly bring Which God will not despise 42. Psalm and part of 43. as 100. O God the spring of all my joys For thee I long to thee I look No chased Hart do's pant so much After the cooling Water-brook Less grief it is to be exil'd From mine own house than Lord from thine O how I wish t' approach that place Where all thy glories use to shine Why should I cherish these sad thoughts Whence nought but perturbation flows Since they procure not what I wish Why should they hinder my repose I 've learnt this remedy at last To keep my passions calm and still I 'm nearer help by hope in God And resignation to his Will 43. Thou Righteous Judge of all the World Be thou my gracious Advocate And clear mine Innocence from those Whose craft is equal to their hate Thy mercy and thy truth display That by the conduct of thy light Thy Courts I may attain and there May have of thee a fuller sight T' approach thy presence would revive My Spir't and all my gladness raise Where I thy goodness would proclaim With Soul inlargements in thy praise 39. Psalm as 100. for a Funeral LORD teach me when my latter end And number of my days I view To measure right my self and them How I am frail and they are few My days extent is but a span Mine age is nothing unto thee Man in his flourishing estate Is altogether vanity A shadow 's all that he pursues But his vexations Real are He heaps up wealth and knows not who Shall reap the profit of his care Let others foolishly expect How kind this flatt'ring World will prove I 'll seek my God alone to please And be ambitious of his love How weak and nothing we appear When God for Sin doth man chastise Like garments fretted by the Moth So all his beauty ruin'd lies My poor petitions Lord regard And to my mournful cry give ear A wandring stranger here on Earth I am as all my Fathers were Lord my decaying strength repair And spare me yet a while that I May make my peace with thee before I go away from hence and dye 27. Psalm as 119. TO my Petitions Lord return An answer full of Grace Thy face thou bad'st me seek and I Resolve to seek thy face Lord do not in displeasure hide Thy face nor me reject Those succours I have had before From thee I still expect My Parents love is not so great As thine nor care so large When they forsake me I become Still more thy care and charge Lord let me plainly see the way Where I may safely tread Avoiding all the cunning snares Mine Enemies have laid How wretched had I been when I With troubles was opprest Had I not hop't thy Mercy would Secure my peace and rest Wait still on God my Soul from him Courage and strength derive Tho' he delay he will at length Thy fainting heart revive 25. Psalm in its proper tune TO God I make my Pray'r In him my trust repose O let me not become a scorn Or triumph to my Foes Let no events deject Their Souls that wait on thee Let disappointments shame their hopes That deal perfidiously The ways thou Lord dost chuse Make me to know aright And teach me always to perform What 's pleasing in thy sight From the streight paths of Truth Ne're let me go astray From thee my Saviour I beg Direction every day Lord call to mind that love Thou didst of old express How thou hast graciously reliev'd Thy Servants in distress Into my youthful sins No strict enquiry make Those early faults O Lord forgive For thine own goodness sake Part II. God who is good and just Will erring Souls instruct Their wandring steps he will to paths Of holiness conduct The humble Souls he 'll guide And teach the meek his way Kindness and truth express to such As his just laws obey Incourag'd by thy Grace For mercy I intreat Pardon my sins O Lord that are Both numerous and great Who is that happy man That fears the Lord above He 'll ever lead him in the ways That he himself doth love Possess'd with quiet
thoughts His Soul shall dwell at ease His Seed shall after him enjoy Prosperity and Peace The secrets of his love God will make known to those That fear him and the blessings he Reserves to them disclose Part III. In all my troubles Lord Mine Eyes are towards thee I hope thy goodness at the last From all will set me free Lord turn a gracious Eye To me and Mercy show Great are th' afflictions I endure And find no help below My troubles are enlarg'd Lord send me quick relief Grant me forgiveness of my Sins And then remove my grief Preserve and keep my Soul From shame as well as guilt O never disappoint the hopes That I on thee have built Let my try'd Innocence Find sure supports from thee At length thy chosen People Lord From all their troubles free 46 Psalm TH' Almighty Lord is our defence The strength whereby we stand When troubles their approaches make His help is nigh at hand Our Faith may there remain unmov'd Tho' th' Earth should be displac'd Or tho' into the Sea's vast gulph The Mountains should be cast Altho' the Oceans troubled waves A frightful noise should make Should rise and swell above the Cloud And cause the hills to shake There is a quiet stream makes glad The City of the Lord His presence will secure her peace And timely help afford The Nations rage and threaten War But God is on our side One word of his dissolves their force And daunts their swelling pride See what his hand hath done it draws The Sword out of its sheath And while he gives it leave Triumphs In Slaughter and in Death Then by another Word he makes Destructive Wars to cease He breaks their Arms the bow and spear And Crowns the Earth with Peace Cease then fond Men to strive with God Whose Pow'r is over all For fear lest he exalt himself In your unpitied Fall 23 Psalm as the 100. GOd is my Shepherd who will see That all my wants be still supply'd I shall not be expos'd to wrong Nor left to stray without a guide The Pastures they are fresh and green Where I have ease and sweet repast The Streams are cool and quiet where I quench my thirst and please my taste His Comforts which revives my Soul Life's tedious journey pleasant make And in the peaceful ways of Grace He leads me for his Goodness sake Tho' I should walk where black despair And sorrow casts a dismal shade Thy power and thy tender Care Would chase my fears and make me glad Thou spread'st my Table where my Foes Behold thy bounty and repine To see rich Oils anoint my head And see my Cup o'reflow with Wine Surely the goodness of the Lord Shall still surround me all my days I will frequent thy House and there Display thy Love and sing thy praise 9. Psalm as the 100. VVITH all my Soul I 'll bless the Lord And all his mighty works proclaim Gladness and joy shall fill my heart Whilst I sing praises to his name Th' eternal God from Change secure Has plac'd his Throne in glorious light When he appears to judge the World His sentence will be just and right From him th'oppress'd will find relief He 'll be their refuge in distress No good mans Faith was ever sham'd His Pray'r ne're wanted good success Arise O Lord and interpose To blast the wickeds good success And by thy Terrours make them feel They are but men and so confess Lord I can suffer thy rebukes When thou dost kindly me chastise But thy fierce wrath I cannot bear O let not that against me rise The Lord hath heard my Pray'r and those That gap'd upon me as their Prey Will vex themselves at their defeat And with confusion turn away God will reward the Just mans works As he approves the ways they tread But the smooth paths of Sinners down To Death and to Damnation lead Mark but the good and perfect man And him that 's upright in his ways Mercy attends his happy life And quiet peace concludes his days 37. Psalm as the 100. I 've seen the wicked rise to Pow'r Flourish like Laurels fresh and green But suddenly their ruine came And no remainder could be seen For God whose nature 's good and just Those that his Image have will own They shall continue when the race Of wicked men are overthrown In all th' experience of my life That holy man I ne're could see Whose Alms expos'd himself to want Or brought his race to Beggery The Lord directs a good mans steps And he delighteth in his way He is not ruin'd by his falls God's pow'r is his support and stay Think not mere wealth makes happy men That little which contents the poor Is better far than wicked mens Ill got or ill imployed store He 's wise that 's always doing good And on God's goodness doth relye Thus thy enjoyments he 'll secure And all thy just desires supply Leave thy concerns unto his care In firm dependance on him live He 'll either grant what thou wouldst have Or what he knows is better give Tho' slanders and detracting tongues Like clouds thy righteousness obscure He 'll clear thy innocence the light At noon shall not appear more pure J.
