I Bind unto Myself Today
Author: Patrick of Ireland (389?-461?); Cecil Frances Alexander (1818-1895) Meter: Irregular Appears in 68 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 20 Lyrics: 1 I bind unto myself today
the strong name of the Trinity,
by invocation of the same,
the Three-in-One, and One-in-Three.
2 I bind this day to me for ever,
by power of faith, Christ's incarnation,
his baptism in the Jordan river,
his death on cross for my salvation.
His bursting from the spiced tomb,
his riding up the heavenly way,
his coming at the day of doom,
I bind unto myself today.
3 I bind unto myself today
the virtues of the starlit heaven,
the glorious sun's life-giving ray,
the whiteness of the moon at even,
the flashing of the lightning free,
the whirling wind's tempestuous shocks,
the stable earth, the deep salt sea,
around the old eternal rocks.
4 I bind unto myself today
the power of God to hold and lead,
his eye to watch, his might to stay,
his ear to hearken to my need,
the wisdom of my God to teach,
his hand to guide, his shield to ward;
the word of God to give me speech,
his heavenly host to be my guard.
5 Christ be with me, Christ within me,
Christ behind me, Christ before me,
Christ beside me, Christ to win me,
Christ to comfort and restore me,
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,
Christ in hearts of all that love me,
Christ in mouth of friend and stranger.
6 I bind unto myself the name,
the strong name of the Trinity,
by invocation of the same,
the Three-in-One, and One-in-Three.
of whom all nature hath creation,
eternal Father, Spirit, Word.
Praise to the Lord of my salvation,
salvation is of Christ the Lord. Topics: Call and Vocation; Covenant; Ordination; Trinity Used With Tune: ST. PATRICK'S BREASTPLATE
I Bind unto Myself Today
To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David
Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: I' th' day of sore affliction Scripture: Psalm 20 Lyrics: 1 I' th' day of sore affliction,
The Lord to thee attend,
The name of Jacob's mighty God
Thee mightily defend,
2 Send thee help from his holy place;
From Sion strengthen thee.
3 Mind all thy gifts and sacrifice,
Accepted let it be.
4 Grant thee according to thy heart,
Thy counsel all fulfil.
5 We in thy perfect saving health
Rejoyce with shouting will.
And in the name of our God we
Our banners will erect.
When as thy supplications all
Jehovah shall effect.
6 Now know I that Jehovah doth
Save his anointed dear:
With saving strength of his right hand,
From's holy heav'n he'll hear.
7 In chariots some their confidence,
And some in horses set:
But of the Lord our God the name
We never will forget.
8 So we arise and stand upright,
They are brought down and fall.
9 Save Lord, and let the King us hear,
When unto him we call.
To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David
If You Will Trust in God to Guide You

builds on the rock that will not move.

3 Sing, pray, and keep his ways unswerving;
so do your own part faithfully,
and trust God's word; though undeserving,
you'll find God's promise true to be.
God never will forsake in need
the soul that trusts in God indeed. Topics: Promise & Hope Used With Tune: NEUMARK

In the Day of Need
Author: Christohper Idle, 1938- Meter: 12.9.12.11 Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: In the day of need may your answer be the Lord Scripture: Psalm 20 Lyrics: 1 In the day of need may your answer be the Lord;
may the God of Jacob strengthen you:
may he send you help from his high and holy place,
and support you for the glory of his name.
2 May the Lord God give you success in all your plans;
may he give you all your heart's desire:
may we sing for joy when we see the battle won,
when the Lord has heard and answered every prayer.
3 Now I know that God will encourage those he loves;
he will hear and answer from on high;
not a word shall fail of the promise he has made,
nor the works of his victorious right hand.
4 There are some who boast of the weapons of the world,
but the power of God is all our pride;
those who arm for war shall one day collapse and fall,
but God's people stand and in their King prevail. Used With Tune: SAMSON

In trouble and adversity
Author: T.S. Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 20 Lyrics: 1 In trouble and adversity
the Lord God hear thee still;
The Majesty of Jacob's God
defend thee from all ill:
2 And send thee from his holy place
his help at ev'ry need;
And so in Sion 'stablish thee,
and make thee strong indeed;
3 Rememb'ring well the sacrifice,
that now in him is done,
And so receive most graciously
thy offerings each one.
4 According to thy heart's desire,
the Lord grant unto thee,
And all thy counsel and thy mind
full well perform may he.
5 We will rejoice when thou us sav'st,
and banners shall display
Unto the Lord, who thy requests
fulfilled hath alway.
6 The Lord will his Anointed save,
I know well by his grace,
And send him help by his right-hand
out of his holy place.
7 In chariots some put confidence,
and some in horses trust:
But we remember God our Lord,
who keepeth promise just.
8 They all fall down, but we do rise
and stand up stedfastly:
O save and help us, Lord and King,
when we to thee do cry.
In trouble and adversity
