I will love Thee, O Lord, my strength

Author: A. L. Waring Hymnal: Hymns and Meditations #21 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: I will love Thee, O Lord, my strength — Thee shall my rescued heart embrace; Thy love, in all its breadth and length, Shall be my peaceful dwelling place. Whom have I on the earth beside? Thy cross, Thy crown of thorns I see; Thou who to save my life hast died, I will have fellowship with Thee. Surely Thy human heart has borne My greatest grief, my least distress — Surely I see my Savior mourn With the bowed spirit He will bless Nailed to Thy cross, I would not fly The pain it grieves Thy soul to give: If because Thou hast died I die, Because Thou livest I shall live. How could a moment's pang destroy My heart's confirmed repose in Thee? Thy presence is sufficient joy To one reclaimed and spared like me. It is enough that I am Thine — Almighty to redeem from sin; Thou shalt subdue, correct, refine The heart which Thou hast died to win. Now, through this light and passing pain, The travail of Thy soul I see — I know Thou hast not borne in vain The mortal anguish due to me; Thoughts of a love unfelt before In comfort on my heart descend — This suffering must have cost Thee more Than I can ever comprehend. Yet, through a sacred sympathy, I of Thy precious death partake I feel my fellowship with Thee, And with the Father for Thy sake. I see the source of all Thy woe, Thy resurrection's power I feel — And streams of living waters flow Through the dry desert where I kneel. Shielded from every fear of wrath, — Looking through love on all that is — I see about my troubled path A cloud of tranquil witnesses. Happy the chastening to endure, That makes me one, in love and trust, With all the lowly, all the pure, All the tried spirits of the just. Thy children's sympathy is sweet, But all is measured — all in part; Into Thy love my hopes retreat, For that which satisfles the heart. There may be other love in store, But none whereof Thy child may say — My strength, my life, for evermore, My ample portion day by day. Such solace as around me grows, Thou for my need shalt still prepare — But make Thy bosom my repose, And fix my expectation there. For Thou canst cherish and uphold Life, that no eye but Thine may see — And no rough wind, no heat, or cold, Shall hurt the love that clings to Thee. In to Thy silent place of prayer, The anxious, wandering mind recall — Dwell mid Thy own creation there, Restoring, claiming, hallowing all. Then the calm spirit, won from sin, Thy perfect sacrifice shall be — And all the ransomed powers therein Shall go forth, glorifying Thee. Out of this spirit of Thy grace, O, who can tell what light has beamed! I see the solitary place, A garden for Thy own redeemed. I see the desolated ground, With dews of Heavenly kindness fed — And fruits of joy and love surround The heart which Thou hast comforted. O knowledge all my thoughts above! This thirsty vale I could not flee, This yearning for unbounded love Has been “a door of hope” to me. Who would go forth in haste by flight, From the dry land which Thou wilt bless — Sown with the everlasting light, That shows Thy “very faithfulness!” Thou hast loved me, O Lord, my strength; On Thee my yielded heart shall lean; Thy guiding love in all its length Shall teach me all Thy judgments mean. And I will ask Thee for a sign That many an anxious eye may see — Give me the love that rests in Thine, For those whom Thou hast tried like me. Love that believes, is always sweet To fearful hearts, which Thou wilt guide, And mine may win some timid feet, To the deep River's quiet side. While from that River's fertile banks, My resting eye their portion sees — O that my, soul might yield Thee thanks; By comforting the least of these. Scripture: Hosea 2:14-15 Languages: English

Hymnal: Scottish Psalter and Paraphrases #P19 (1800) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Thee will I love, O Lord, my strength Lyrics: 1Thee will I love, O Lord, my strength. 2My fortress is the Lord, My rock, and he that doth to me deliverance afford: My God, my strength, whom I will trust, a buckler unto me, The horn of my salvation, and my high tow’r, is he. 3Upon the Lord, who worthy is of praises, will I cry; And then shall I preserved be safe from mine enemy. 4Floods of ill men affrighted me, death’s pangs about me went; 5Hell’s sorrows me environed; death’s snares did me prevent. 6In my distress I call’d on God, cry to my God did I; He from his temple heard my voice, to his ears came my cry. 7Th’ earth, as affrighted, then did shake, trembling upon it seiz’d: The hills’ foundations moved were, because he was displeas’d. 8Up from his nostrils came a smoke, and from his mouth there came Devouring fire, and coals by it were turned into flame. 9He also bowed down the heav’ns, and thence he did descend; And thickest clouds of darkness did under his feet attend. 10And he upon a cherub rode, and thereon he did fly; Yea, on the swift wings of the wind his flight was from on high. 11He darkness made his secret place: about him, for his tent, Dark waters were, and thickest clouds of th’ airy firmament. 12And at the brightness of that light, which was before his eye, His thick clouds pass’d away, hailstones and coals of fire did fly. 13The Lord God also in the heav’ns did thunder in his ire; And there the Highest gave his voice, hailstones and coals of fire. 14Yea, he his arrows sent abroad, and them he scattered; His lightnings also he shot out, and them discomfited. 15The waters’ channels then were seen, the world’s foundations vast At thy rebuke discover’d were, and at thy nostrils’ blast. 16And from above the Lord sent down, and took me from below; From many waters he me drew, which would me overflow. 17He me reliev’d from my strong foes, and such as did me hate; Because he saw that they for me too strong were, and too great. 18They me prevented in the day of my calamity; But even then the Lord himself a stay was unto me. 19He to a place where liberty and room was hath me brought; Because he took delight in me, he my deliv’rance wrought. 20According to my righteousness he did me recompense, He me repaid according to my hands’ pure innocence. 21For I God’s ways kept, from my God did not turn wickedly. 22His judgments were before me, I his laws put not from me. 23Sincere before him was my heart; with him upright was I; And watchfully I kept myself from mine iniquity. 24After my righteousness the Lord hath recompensed me, After the cleanness of my hands appearing in his eye. 25Thou gracious to the gracious art, to upright men upright: 26Pure to the pure, froward thou kyth’st unto the froward wight. 27For thou wilt the afflicted save in grief that low do lie: But wilt bring down the countenance of them whose looks are high. 28The Lord will light my candle so, that it shall shine full bright: The Lord my God will also make my darkness to be light. 29By thee through troops of men I break, and them discomfit all; And, by my God assisting me, I overleap a wall. 30As for God, perfect is his way: the Lord his word is try’d; He is a buckler to all those who do in him confide. 31Who but the Lord is God? but he who is a rock and stay? 32’Tis God that girdeth me with strength, and perfect makes my way. 33He made my feet swift as the hinds, set me on my high places. 34Mine hands to war he taught, mine arms brake bows of steel in pieces. 35The shield of thy salvation thou didst on me bestow: Thy right hand held me up, and great thy kindness made me grow. 36And in my way my steps thou hast enlarged under me, That I go safely, and my feet are kept from sliding free. 37Mine en’mies I pursued have, and did them overtake; Nor did I turn again till I an end of them did make. 38I wounded them, they could not rise; they at my feet did fall. 39Thou girdedst me with strength for war; my foes thou brought’st down all: 40And thou hast giv’n to me the necks of all mine enemies; That I might them destroy and slay, who did against me rise. 41They cried out, but there was none that would or could them save; Yea, they did cry unto the Lord, but he no answer gave. 42Then did I beat them small as dust before the wind that flies; And I did cast them out like dirt upon the street that lies. 43Thou mad’st me free from people’s strife, and heathen’s head to be: A people whom I have not known shall service do to me. 44At hearing they shall me obey, to me they shall submit. 45Strangers for fear shall fade away, who in close places sit. 46God lives, bless’d be my Rock; the God of my health praised be. 47God doth avenge me, and subdues the people under me. 48He saves me from mine enemies; yea, thou hast lifted me Above my foes; and from the man of vi’lence set me free. 49Therefore to thee will I give thanks the heathen folk among; And to thy name, O Lord, I will sing praises in a song. 50He great deliv’rance gives his king: he mercy doth extend To David, his anointed one, and his seed without end.

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
