True Blessedness

Hymnal: The Psalter #228 (1912) Topics: Dedication of Church First Line: Lord God of Hosts, in mercy Lyrics: 1 Lord God of Hosts, in mercy My supplication hear; Almighty and all-faithful, Our fathers' God, give ear; Our shield and great defender, No longer hide Thy face, But look upon Thy servant, Anointed by Thy grace. 2 In Thy blest courts to worship, My God, a single day Is better than a thousand While far from Thee I stray; Tho' in a lowly station, the service of my Lord I choose above all pleasures That sinful ways afford. 3 A sun and shield forever Is God, the Lord Most High; To those who walk uprightly No good will He deny; His saints, His grace receiving, Shall soon His glory see; O Lord of Hosts, most blessed Are they that trust in Thee.
