Rise Up, Come to Our Help
O God, Be Merciful
Meter: 6.6.6.6 D Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Evil Character; Fearlessness; God our Helper; Imprecatory Psalms; Omniscience of God; Peace and Rest; Persecution Of Believers; Trust Lyrics: 1 O God, be merciful,
Be merciful to me,
For man, with constant hate,
Would fain my ruin see.
My many enemies
Against me proudly fight;
To overwhelm my soul
They watch from morn to night.
2 What time I am afraid
I put my trust in Thee;
In God I rest, and praise
His word, so rich and free.
In God I put my trust,
I neither doubt nor fear,
For man can never harm,
With God my Helper near.
3 All day they wrest my words,
Their thoughts are full of hate;
They meet, they lurk, they watch,
As for my soul they wait.
Shall they be wickedness
Escape Thy judgment right?
O God of righteousness,
Destroy them in Thy might.
4 Thou knowest all my woes,
O treasure Thou my tears;
Are thy not in Thy book,
Where all my life appears?
My foes shall backward turn
When I appeal to Thee,
For this I surely know,
That God is still for me.
Scripture: Psalm 56 Used With Tune: INVITATION
O God, Be Merciful
God Is Our Fortress and Our Rock
Author: Martin Luther; Michael A. Perry Meter: 8.7.8.7.5.5.5.6.7 Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Commitment & Dedication; Enemies & Persecution; Reformation; Redemption; Assurance; Commitment & Dedication; Enemies & Persecution; Kingdom; Pilgrimage & Conflct; Redemption; Reformation; Refuge; Victory; Word of God Lyrics: 1 God is our fortress and our rock,
our mighty help in danger;
he shields us from the battle's shock
and thwarts the devil's anger;
for still the prince of night
prolongs evil's fight;
he uses all skill
to work his wicked will;
no earthly force is like him.
2 Our hope is fixed on Christ alone,
the Man of God's own choosing;
without him nothing can be won
and fighting must be losing;
so let the powers accursed
come try do their worst;
Christ Jesus shall ride
to battle at our side,
and he shall have the victory.
3 The word of God will not be slow
while demon hordes surround us,
though evil strike its cruelest blow
and death and hell confound us:
for though we meet distress,
lose all we possess;
those planning our ill
may ravage, wreck, or kill;
God's kingdom is immortal!
Scripture: Psalm 46 Used With Tune: EIN FESTE BURG (RHYTHMIC)

Appears in 47 hymnals Topics: Appeal to God against persecutors; God his care of saints; Persecution Victory over and Deliverance from it; Persecutors punished First Line: My Trust is in my heav'nly Friend Lyrics: 1 My Trust is in my heav'nly Friend,
My Hope in Thee, my GOD;
Rise, and my helpless Life defend
From those that seek my Blood.
2 With Insolence and Fury they
My Soul in Pieces tear,
As hungry Lions rend the Prey,
When no Deliverer's near.
3 If I had e'er provok'd them first,
Or once abus'd my Foe,
Then let him tread my Life to Dust,
And lay mine Honour low.
4 If there be Malice found in me,
I know thy piercing Eyes;
I should not dare appeal to Thee,
Nor ask my GOD to rise.
5 Arise, my GOD, lift up thy Hand,
Their Pride and Pow'r controul;
Awake to Judgment, and command
Deliv'rance for my Soul.
Pause.
6 [Let Sinners, and their wicked Rage
Be humbled to the Dust;
Shall not the GOD of truth engage
To vindicate the Just?
7 He knows the Heart, he tries the Reins,
He will defend th' Upright
His sharpest Arrows he ordains
Against the Sons of Spite.
8 For me their Malice digg'd a Pit,
But there themselves are cast;
My GOD makes all their Mischiefs light
On their own Heads at last.]
9 That cruel, persecuting Race
Must feel his dreadful Sword:
Awake my Soul, and praise the Grace
And Justice of the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 7
