Representative Text

1 Thy promised mercies send to me,
Thy great salvation, LORD;
so shall I answer those who scoff;
my trust is in Thy word.

2 My hope is in Thy judgment, LORD;
take not Thy truth from me,
and in Thy law forevermore
my daily walk shall be.

3 And I will walk at liberty
because Thy truth I seek;
Thy truth before the kings of earth
with boldness I will speak.

4 The Lord's commands, which I have loved,
shall still new joy impart;
with rev'rence I will hear Thy laws
and keep them in my heart.

Tune

SARAH (Gabriel)


LAMBETH (Schulthes)

Credited to Wilhelm Schulthes, 1871, in The Hymnal (1916). Reviews of his works in The Musical Times in 1871 include an "Ave Maria" for organ/piano and "O Salutaris" for soprano and choir. These pieces appear to be exceptionally rare and are not readily available for study. —Chris Fenner
