Think of His Goodness to You
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David
Appears in 10 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 31 First Line: In thee, O Lord, I put my trust Lyrics: 1 In thee, O Lord, I put my trust,
Sham'd never let me be;
Accordingly as thou art just
Do thou deliver me.
2 Bow down to me thine ear with speed,
Let me deliverance have,
My rock of strength, and house of fence,
O be thou me to save.
3 Because a rock thou me unto
And fortress mine wilt be:
Therefore for thy name sake, O do
Thou lead and guide thou me.
4 O pull thou me out of the net,
Which to ensnare me they
Full privily for me have set:
Because thou art my stay.
5 Into thy hands my spirit I
Reposing do commit;
Jehovah God of verity,
Thou hast redeemed it.
6 Who lying vanities embrace,
Such men have I abhorr'd;
But as for me, I wholly place
My trust upon the Lord.
7 I in thy mercies will be glad,
And joy, because that thou
Didst view my straits, in anguish sad
My soul thou diddest know.
8 And thou hast not enclosed me
Within the enemies hand:
But in the place of liberty
Thou mad'st my feet to stand.
[2]
9 O Lord, because distress'd am I,
In mercy send relief!
My soul, my belly, and mine eye,
Consumed are with grief.
10 Because my life with sorrow quails,
With sighs my years decay:
And for my sins my vigour fails,
My bones do pine away.
11 To all my foes a scorn am I,
Chiefly my nieghbours to.
A fear to friends, they that me spie
Without, did flee me fro.
12 I as a dead man am forgot,
That's out of memory;
And like unto a broken pot,
Ev'n such an one am I.
13 Because that I of all the rout
The slandering did hear:
On every side me round about
There was a trembling fear.
While as that they against me did
Together council take,
They craftily have purposed,
My life away to make.
14 But O Jehovah, upon thee
My confidence doth stand?
I said thou art a God to me.
15 My times are in thy hand;
From the hands of mine enemies
Do thou deliver me,
And from the hand of them likewise
That my pursuers be
[3]
16 Thy countenance to shine upon,
Thy servant do thou make:
O give to me salvation,
Ev'n for thy mercies sake.
17 O Lord, let me not be asham'd,
For call'd on thee I have:
O let the wicked men be sham'd,
And silent in the grave.
18 Let lying lips be silenced;
'Gainst him that is upright,
That do such grievous speeches spread
In pride and in despite.
19 Oh how great good hast thou in store
Laid up, and wrought for them,
Who fear and trust in thee before
The sons of earthly men!
20 Thou in the secret of thy face
Shalt hide them from man's pride,
From strive of tongues in covert place
Thou shalt them safely hide.
21 O let Jehovah blessed be,
Because he hath made known
His kindness wonderful to me,
Within a fenced town.
22 For I in haste said, i am cast
Out from before thine eyes;
My suit for grace yet heard thou hast,
When I to thee did cry.
23 O love the Lord all ye his saints,
the faithful he doth guard,
But he unto proud doers grants
A plentiful reward.
24 See that encouraged you be,
And let your heart wax strong,
All whosoever hopefully
Do for Jehovah long.

Today I live, one day shall come my death
Author: Fred Kaan (b. 1929) Meter: 10.11.10.11 Appears in 5 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 31:5 Lyrics: 1 Today I live, one day shall come my death;
one day shall still my laughter and my crying,
bring to a halt my heartbeat and my breath:
Oh, give me faith for living and for dying.
2 How I shall die, or when, I do not know,
nor where, for endless is the world's horizon;
but save me, God, from thoughts that lay me low,
from morbid fears that freeze my power of reason.
3 When earthly life shall close, as close it must,
let Jesus be my brother and my merit.
Let me without regret recall the past,
and then, into your hands commit my spirit.
4 Meanwhile I live and move and I am glad,
enjoy this life and all its interweaving
each given day, as I take up the thread,
let love suggest my mode, my mood of living. Topics: The Church Celebrates Death and Grieving; Trust Used With Tune: ROBERT

The Saints happy in being entirely at the Disposal of his God—My Times are in thy Hand
Author: Ryland, junior Appears in 163 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 31:15 First Line: Sovereign ruler of the skies Lyrics: 1 Sovereign ruler of the skies,
Ever gracious ever wise!
All my times are in thy hand,
All events at thy command.
2 His decree, that form'd the earth,
Fix'd my first and second birth;
Parents, native-place, and time,
All appointed were by him.
3 He that form'd me in the womb,
He shall guide me to the tomb:
All my times shall ever be
Order'd by his wise decree.
4 Times of sickness, times of health;
Times of penury and wealth:
Times of trial and of grief;
Times of triumph and relief.
5 Times the tempter's power to prove;
Times to taste a Savior's love:
All must come and last and end,
As shall please my heavenly friend.
6 Plagues and deaths around me fly;
Till he bids, I cannot die:
Not a single shaft can hit,
Till the God of love sees fit.
7 O thou gracious, wise and just,
In thy hands my life I trust;
Have I somewhat dearer still?
I resign it to thy will.
8 May I always own thy hand—
Still to thee surrender stand:
Know that thou art God alone,
I and mine are all thy own.
9 Thee at all times will I bless;
Having thee, I all possess:
How can I bereaved be,
Since I cannot part with thee.

Thou whom my soul admires above
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 90 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 31:22-23 Lyrics:
Thou whom my soul admires above
All earthly joy and earthly love,
Tell me, dear Shepherd, let me know,
Where doth thy sweetest pasture grow?
Where is the shadow of that rock,
That from the sun defends thy flock?
Fain would I feed among thy sheep,
Among them rest, among them sleep.
Why should thy bride appear like one
That turns aside to paths unknown?
My constant feet would never rove,
Would never seek another love.
[The footsteps of thy flock I see;
Thy sweetest pastures here they be;
A wondrous feast thy love prepares,
Bought with thy wounds, and groans, and tears.
His dearest flesh he makes my food,
And bids me drink his richest blood:
Here to these hills my soul will come,
Till my Beloved lead me home.]
