O Lord, That Art My Righteous Judge

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Lord, that art my righteous judge, To my complaint give ear; Thou still redeem’st me from distress; Have mercy, Lord, and hear. 2 How long will ye, O sons of men, To blot my fame devise? How long your vain designs pursue, And spread malicious lies? 3 Consider that the righteous man Is God’s peculiar choice; And when to Him I make my prayer, He always hears my voice. 4 Then stand in awe of His commands, Flee every thing that’s ill; Commune in private with your hearts, And bind them to His will. 5 The place of other sacrifice Let righteousness supply; And let your hope, securely fixed, On God alone rely. 6 While worldly minds impatient grow More prosperous times to see, Oh! let the glories of Thy face Shine brighter, Lord, on me! 7 So shall my heart o’erflow with joy More lasting and more true Than theirs, possessed of all that they So eagerly pursue. 8 Then down in peace I’ll lay my head, And take my needful rest: No other guard, O Lord, I crave, Of Thy defense possessed. 9 Lord of my life, my hopes, my joys, My never failing friend, Thou hast been all my help till now, Oh! help me to the end!

Our Sure Defense

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 8 hymnals First Line: Like Zion's steadfast mount are they Lyrics: 1 Like Zion's steadfast mount are they Who in the Lord confide; Secure, immovable they stand, Forever to abide. 2 As round about Jerusalem The mountains give defense, Jehovah is His people's guard, Their lasting confidence. 3 No tyrant's scepter o'er the good Shall undisturbed abide, Lest righteous men, oppressed by wrong, To evil turn aside. 4 O Thou Jehovah, to the good Thy goodness now impart, Thy loving-kindness show to them That upright are in heart. 5 All those that turn from righteousness With wayward, wandering feet, With sinners God will lead them forth, The sinner's doom to meet. 6 O Thou Who art Thy people's shield, Their helper and their guide, Upon them let Thy grace and peace For evermore abide.

O Christ, the Master Carpenter

Author: David Mowbray (born 1938); H. Pink Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Christ, the Master Carpenter, high on a cross you died; a wooden cross, with iron nails, a spear thrust in your side. 2 O Christ, upon that Friday cross your work on earth was done; yet, truly, in my life today your work has just begun. 3 O Christ, take up your workman's tools and shape my life anew, that I who now appear rough-hewn may be restored by you. 4 O Christ, the Master Carpenter, let beauty gently shine within the workshop of my life — the praise be yours, not mine.
