Tho' all the world forsake me and Satan tempt me sore, Thru Jesus I shall safely reach the goal; He's the Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star, He's the greatest of ten thousand to my soul. 3 He will never, never leave me nor yet forsake me here, While I live by faith and do His blessed will; A wall of fire about me, I've nothing now to fear- With His manna He my hungry soul shall fill. Then sweeping up to glory I'll see His blessed face, Where rivers of delight shall ever roll; He's the Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star, He's the greatest of ten thousand to my soul.

How Blest Are They Whose Trespass

Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 31 hymnals Topics: Temptation And Trial Lyrics: 1 How blest are they whose trespass has freely been forgiven, whose sins are wholly covered before the sight of heaven. Blest they to whom the LORD God does not impute their sin, who have a guileless spirit, whose heart is true within. 2 While I kept guilty silence, my strength was spent with grief: your hand was heavy on me; my soul found no relief. But when I owned my trespass and did not hide my sin, then you forgave my guilt, LORD, restored my life within. 3 So let the godly seek you in times when you are near; no whelming floods shall reach them or cause their hearts to fear. O LORD, you are my refuge, you are my hiding place, and you surround me always with songs of saving grace. 4 "I graciously will teach you the way that you should go, and, with my eye upon you, help you my counsel know. Then do not be unruly or slow to understand; be not perverse, but willing to heed my wise command." 5 The sorrows of the wicked increase from year to year, but those who trust the LORD God know love instead of fear. Then in the LORD be joyful, in song lift up your voice; be glad in God, you righteous: rejoice, O saints, rejoice! Scripture: Psalm 32 Used With Tune: RUTHERFORD Text Sources: Psalter, 1912, alt.

Forever they will praise you, your ways are in their heart. Though tried, their tears like showers shall fill the springs of peace, and all the way to Zion their strength shall still increase.

Before the throne of God above

Author: Charitie L. De Chenez (1841-1923) Appears in 62 hymnals Topics: Temptation Lyrics: 1 Before the throne of God above I have a strong, a 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 heaven he stands 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 of all my sin. Because the sinless Saviour died, my sinful soul is counted free; for God the just is satisfied 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 Saviour and my God.
