To thine Almighty Arm we owe

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P18e (1766) Topics: Delight and Safety in Church Lyrics: 1 To thine Almighty Arm we owe The Triumph of the Day; Thy Terrors, Lord, confound the Foe, And melt their Strength away. 2 'Tis by thine Aid our Troops prevail, And break united Pow'rs, Or burn their boasted Fleets, or scale The proudest of their Tow'rs. 3 How have we chas'd them thro' the Field, And trod them to the Ground; While thy Salvation was our Shield, But they no Shelter found! 4 In vain to idle Saints they cry, And perish in their Blood; Where is a Rock so great, so high, So pow'rful as our GOD? 5 The Rock of Israel ever lives, His Name be ever blest; 'Tis his own Arm the Vict'ry gives, And gives his People Rest. 6 On Kings that reign as David did, He pours his Blessings down; Secures their Honours to their Seed, And well supports the Crown.

Deliverance from Despair; or, Temptations overcome

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #30 (1740) Topics: Delight and Safety in Church First Line: Thee will I love, O Lord, my Strength 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 Languages: English

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.
