Thee will I love, O Lord, my strength

Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #P.XVIII.I (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Thee will I love, O Lord, my strength, My rock, my tow'r, my high defence; Thy mighty arm shall be my trust, For I have found salvation thence. 2 Death, and the terrors of the grave, Stood round me with their dismal shade; While floods of high temptations rose, And made my sinking soul afraid. 3 I saw the op'ning gates of hell, With endless pains and sorrows there, (Which none but they that feel can tell) While I was hurry'd to despair. 4 In my distress I call'd my God, When I could scarce believe him mine: He bow'd his ear to my complaint; And prov'd his saving grace divine. 5 [With speed he flew to my relief, As on a cherub’s wing he rode; Awful, and bright as lightning, shone The face of my deliv'rer, God. 6 Temptations fled at his rebuke, The blast of his Almighty breath; He sent salvation from on high, And drew me from the deeps of death.] 7 Great were my fears, my foes were great, Much was their strength, and more their rage; But Christ, my Lord, is conqu'ror still, In all the wars the proud can wage. 8 My song for ever shall record That terrible, that joyful hour; And give the glory to the Lord Due to His mercy and his pow'r.

Thee Will I Love, O Lord, My Strength

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6981 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. Thee will I love, O Lord, my strength, My rock, my tower, my high defense; Thy mighty arm shall be my trust, For I have found salvation thence. 2. Death, and the terrors of the grave, Stood round me with their dismal shade; While floods of high temptations rose, And made my sinking soul afraid. 3. I saw the opening gates of hell, With endless pains and sorrows there, Which none but they that feel can tell; While I was hurried to despair. 4. In my distress I called my God, When I could scarce believe Him mine: He bowed His ear to my complaint, Then did His grace appear divine. 5. With speed He flew to my relief, As on a cherub’s wing He rode; Awful and bright as lightning shone The face of my deliverer, God. 6. Temptations fled at His rebuke, The blast of His almighty breath; He sent salvation from on high, And drew me from the deeps of death. 7. Great were my fears, my foes were great, Much was their strength, and more their rage; But Christ, my Lord, is conqueror still, In all the wars that devils wage. 8. My song for ever shall record That terrible, that joyful hour; And give the glory to the Lord, Due to His mercy and His power. Languages: English Tune Title: ALLMÄCHTIGER GOTT
