Though troubles assail us, and dangers affright

Author: John Newton Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 439 hymnals Topics: Satan Lyrics: 1 Though troubles assail us, and dangers affright, Though friends should all fail us, and foes all unite, Yet one thing secures us, whatever betide, The promise assures us, "The Lord will provide." 2 The birds, without garner or storehouse, are fed; From them let us learn to trust God for our bread: His saints what is fitting shall ne'er be denied So long as 'tis written, "The Lord will provide." 3 When Satan assails us to stop up our path, And courage all fails us, we triumph by faith. He cannot take from us, though oft he has tried, This heart-cheering promise, "The Lord will provide." 4 No strength of our own, and no goodness we claim; Yet, since we have known of the Saviour's great Name, In this our strong tower for safety we hide: The Lord is our power, "The Lord will provide." Amen. Scripture: Psalm 27:5 Used With Tune: JOANNA Text Sources: The New Christian Hymnal, 1929

Jesus! the name high over all

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-88 Appears in 306 hymnals Topics: Satan Lyrics: 1 Jesus! the name high over all, in hell, or earth, or sky; angels and earthlings to it fall, and devils fear and fly, and devils fear and fly. 2 Jesus! the name to sinners dear, the name to sinners given; it scatters all their guilty fear, it turns their hell to heaven, it turns their hell to heaven. 3 Jesus! the prisoner's fetters breaks, and bruises Satan's head; power into strengthless souls it speaks, and life into the dead, and life into the dead. 4 O that the world might taste and see the riches of his grace; the arms of love that compass me would everyone embrace, would everyone embrace. 5 Happy, if with my dying breath I might but gasp his name: preach him to all, and cry in death: behold, behold the Lamb, behold, behold the Lamb!

Before the Throne of God Above

Author: Charitie Bancroft Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 62 hymnals Topics: Satan Lyrics: 1 Before the throne of God above, I have a strong and perfect plea, a great High Priest whose name is Love, who ever lives and pleads for me. My name is graven on his hands, my name is written on his heart. I know that while in heav'n he stands, no tongue can bid me thence depart, no tongue can bid me thence depart. 2 When Satan tempts me to despair and tells me of the guilt within, upward I look and see him there, who made an end to all my sin. Because the sinless Savior died, my sinful soul is counted free; for God, the just, is satisfied to look on him and pardon me, to look on him and pardon me. 3 Behold him there, the risen Lamb, my perfect, spotless righteousness, the great unchangeable I AM, the King of glory and of grace! One with himself I cannot die. My soul is purchased by his blood! My life is hid with Christ on high, with Christ, my Savior and my God, with Christ, my Savior and my God. Scripture: Isaiah 49:16 Used With Tune: BEFORE THE THRONE

Author: Johann B. Freystein; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 7.6.7.6.3.3.6.6 Appears in 27 hymnals Topics: Satan Lyrics: 1 Rise, my soul, to watch and pray, from thy sleep awaken; be not by the evil day unawares o'ertaken. For the foe, well we know, oft his harvest reapeth while the Christian sleepeth. 2 Watch against the devil's snares, lest asleep he find thee; for indeed no pains he spares to deceive and blind thee. Satan's prey oft are they who secure are sleeping and no watch are keeping. 3 Watch! Let not the wicked world with its pow'r defeat thee. Watch lest with her pomp unfurled she betray and cheat thee. Watch and see, lest there be faithless friends to charm thee, who but seek to harm thee. 4 Watch against thyself, my soul, lest with grace thou trifle; let not self thy thoughts control nor God's mercy stifle. Pride and sin lurk within, all thy hopes to scatter; heed not when they flatter. 5 But while watching, also pray to the Lord unceasing. He will free thee, be thy stay, strength and faith increasing. O Lord, bless in distress and let nothing swerve me from the will to serve thee. Scripture: Matthew 26:41 Used With Tune: STRAF MICH NICHT
