Save me, O Lord, from every Foe

Appears in 25 hymnals Topics: Idolatry reproved Lyrics: 1 Save me, O Lord, from every Foe, In Thee my Trust I place; Though all the Good that I can do Can ne'er deserve thy Grace. 2 Yet if my GOD prolong my Breath, The Saints may profit by't; The Saints the Glory of the Earth, The Men of my Delight. 3 Let Heathens to their Idols haste, And worship Wood or Stone; But my delightful Lot is cast Where the true GOD is known. 4 His Hand provides my constant Food, He fills my daily Cup; Much am I pleas'd with present Good, But more rejoice in Hope. 5 GOD is my Portion and my Joy; His Counsels are my Light: He gives me sweet Advice by Day, And gentle Hints by Night. 6 My Soul would all her Thoughts approve To his all-seeing Eye; Not death nor Hell my Hope shall move, While such a Friend is nigh. Scripture: Psalm 16:1-8

I worship in your holy place and praise you for your truth and grace; for truth and grace together shine in your most holy Word divine, in your most holy Word divine. 2 I cried to you, and you did save; your word of grace new courage gave. The kings of earth shall thank you, LORD, for they have heard your wondrous word; yes, they shall come with songs of praise for great and glorious are your ways, for great and glorious are your ways. 3 O LORD, enthroned in glory bright, you reign alone in heavenly height; the proud in vain your favor seek, but you have mercy for the meek. Through trouble though my pathway be, you will revive and strengthen me, you will revive and strengthen me. 4 You will stretch forth your mighty arm to save me when my foes alarm. The work you have for me begun shall by your grace be fully done. Your love forever will endure: your mercy, LORD, is ever sure; your mercy, LORD, is ever sure.

In love and truth you do fulfill the counsels of your sovereign will; though nations fail your power to own, yet you still reign, and you alone. 2 The idol gods of heathen lands are but the work of human hands; they cannot see, they cannot speak, their ears are deaf, their hands are weak; like them shall be all those who hold to gods of silver and of gold. 3 So let us trust in God alone, the Lord, whose grace and power are known; and our complete allegiance yield to God who is our help and shield. Join, heaven and earth, in sweet accord; sing "Hallelujah, praise the Lord!" Scripture: Psalm 115 Used With Tune: VATER UNSER Text Sources: Psalter, 1912, alt.
