Thee will I love, O Lord, my Strength

Appears in 54 hymnals Topics: Defense and Salvation in God 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; 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 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 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. Scripture: Psalm 18:1-6

Lord, thou hast seen my Soul sincere

Appears in 39 hymnals Topics: Defense and Salvation in God Lyrics: 1 Lord, thou hast seen my Soul sincere, Hast made thy Truth and Love appear; Before mine Eyes I set thy Laws, And thou hast own'd my righteous Cause. 2 Since I have learn'd thy holy Ways, I've walk'd upright before thy Face; Or if my Feet did e'er depart, 'Twas never with a wicked Heart. 3 What sore Temptations broke my Rest! What Wars and Strugglings in my Breast! But thro' thy Grace, that reigns within I guard against my darling Sin. 4 That Sin which close besets me still, That works and strives against my Will; When shall thy Spirit's Sov'reign Pow'r Destroy it that it rise no more? 5 With an impartial Hand the Lord Deals out to Mortals their Reward; The kind and faithful Soul shall find A GOD as faithful and as kind. 6 The Just and Pure shall ever say, Thou art more pure, more just than they; And Men that love Revenge, shall know God hath an Arm of Vengeance too. Scripture: Psalm 18:20-26

The Lightning of his Spear? 4 He rides upon the winged Wind, And Angels in Array In Millions wait to know his Mind, And swift as Flames obey. 5 He speaks, and at his fierce Rebuke Whole Armies are dismay'd; His Voice, his Frown, his angry Look, Strikes all their Courage dead. 6 He forms our Gen'rals for the Field, With all their dreadful Skill; Gives them his awful Sword to wield, And makes their Hearts of Steel. 7 [He arms our Captains to the Fight, (Tho' there his Name's forgot) He girded Cyrus with his Might, But Cyrus knew him not. 8 Oft has the Lord whole Nations blest, For his own Church's Sake; The Pow'rs that give his People Rest, Shall of his Care partake.] Scripture: Psalm 18

Appears in 665 hymnals Topics: Direction and Defense prayed for Lyrics: 1 Lord in the Morning thou shalt hear My Voice ascending high; To thee will I direct my Pray'r, To thee lift up mine Eye. 2 Up to the Hills where Christ is gone To plead for all his Saints, Presenting at his Father's Throne Our Songs and our Complaints. 3 Thou art a GOD, before whose Sight The Wicked shall not stand, Sinners shall ne'er be thy Delight, Nor dwell at thy Right Hand. 4 But to thy House will I resort, To taste thy Mercies there; I will frequent thine holy Court, And worship in thy Fear. 5 O may thy Spirit guide my Feet In Ways of Righteousness! Make every Path of Duty strait, And plain before my Face. Pause. 6 My watchful Enemies combine To tempt my Feet astray; They flatter with a base Design, To make my Soul their Prey. 7 Lord crush the Serpent in the Dust, And all his Plots destroy; While those that in thy Mercy trust, For ever shout for Joy. 8 The Men that love and fear thy Name Shall see their Hopes fulfill'd; The mighty GOD will compass them With Favour as a Shield. Scripture: Psalm 5

The true God our Refuge, or, Idolatry reproved

Appears in 43 hymnals Topics: God our Defense and Salvation; God our Defense and Salvation First Line: Not to ourselves, who are but dust Lyrics: 1 Not to ourselves, who are but dust, Not to ourselves is glory due, Eternal God, thou only just, Thou only gracious, wise and true. 2 Display to earth thy dreadful name; Why should a heathen's haughty tongue Insult us, and, to raise our shame, Say, Where's the God you've serv'd so long? 3 The God we serve maintains his throne, Above the clouds, beyond the skies; Through all the earth his will is done, He knows our groans, he hears our cries. 4 But the vain idols they adore Are senseless shapes of stone and wood: At best a mass of glittering ore, A silver saint, and golden god. 5 [With eyes and ears, they carve the head; Deaf are their ears, their eyes are blind; In vain are costly offerings made, And vows are scatter'd in the wind. 6 Their feet were never made to move, Nor hands to save when mortals pray; Mortals that pay them fear or love, Seem to be blind and deaf as they.] 7 Oh Israel, make the Lord thy hope, Thy help, thy refuge, and thy rest; The Lord shall build thy ruins up, And bless the people and the priest. 8 The dead no more can speak thy praise, They dwell in silence and the grave; But we shall live to sing thy grace, And tell the world thy power to save. Scripture: Psalm 115

Idolatry reproved

Appears in 62 hymnals Topics: God our Defense and Salvation; God our Defense and Salvation First Line: Not to our names, thou only just and true Lyrics: 1 Not to our names, thou only just and true Not to our worthless names is glory due: Thy power and grace, thy truth and justice claim Immortal honours to thy sovereign name; Shine thro' the earth from heaven thy blest abode; Nor let the heathens say, And where's your God. 2 Heaven is thine higher court: there stands thy throne And through the lower worlds thy will is done: God fram'd this earth, the starry heavens he spread, But fools adore the gods their hands have made; The kneeling croud, with looks devout behold Their silver saviours, and their saints of gold. 3 [Vain are those artful shapes of eyes and ears; The molten image neither sees nor hears: Their hands are helpless, nor their feet can move, They have no speech, nor thought, nor power, nor love; Yet sottish mortals make their long complaints To their deaf idols, and their moveless saints. 4 The rich have statues well adorn'd with gold; The poor content with gods of coarser mould, With tools of iron carve the senseless stock Lopt from a tree, or broken from a rock; People and priest drive on the solemn trade, And trust the gods that saws and hammers made. 5 Be heaven and earth amaz'd! 'Tis hard to say Which is more stupid, or their gods, or they. O Israel trust the Lord: He hears and sees, He knows thy sorrows and restores thy peace; His worship does a thousand comforts yield, He is thy help, and he thine heavenly shield. 6 In God we trust; our impious foes in vain Attempt our ruin and oppose his reign; Had they prevail'd darkness had clos'd our days, And death and silence had forbid his praise: But we are sav'd, and live: Let songs arise, And Zion bless the God that built the skies. Scripture: Psalm 115

Scripture: Psalm 121

Conspiring my eternal death, They break my present peace. 2 Thy lying tempter would persuade There's no relief in heaven, And all my growing sins appear Too great to be forgiven. 3 But thou, my glory, and my strength, Shalt on the tempter tread, Shalt silence all my threatening guilt, And raise my drooping head. 4 [I cry'd, and from his holy hill He bow'd a listening ear; I call'd my Father, and my God, And he subdued my fear. 5 He shed soft slumbers on mine eyes, In spite of all my foes; I woke, and wonder'd at the grace That guarded my repose.] 6 What tho' the hosts of death and hell All arm'd against me stood; Terrors no more shall shake my soul; My refuge is my God. 7 Arise, O Lord, fulfill thy grace, While I thy glory sing; My God has broke the serpent's teeth, And death has lost his sting. 8 Salvation to the Lord belongs, His arm alone can save; Blessings attend thy people here, And reach beyond the grave. Scripture: Psalm 3
