Levavi Oculos
Author: W. W. Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: I lift mine eyes to Sion hill Lyrics: 1 I lift my eyes to Sion hill,
From whence I do attend
That succour God me send.
2 The mighty God me succour will,
Which heaven and earth framed,
And all things therein namee.
3 Thy foot from slip he will preserve,
And will thee safely keep,
For he will never sleep:
4 Lo he that Israel doth conserve,
No sleepe at all can him cathc:
But his eyes shall ever watch.
5 The Lord is thy warrant alway,
The Lord eke doth thee cover,
As at thy right hand ever.
6 The Sun shall not thee parch by day,
Nor the Moone not halfe so bright,
Shall with cold thee hurt by night.
7 The Lord will keep the from distresse,
And will thy life sure save,
And thou shalt also have
8 In all thy businesse good successe:
Where ever thou goest in our out,
God will thy things bring about. Scripture: Psalm 121

Qui confidunt
Author: R. W. Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Those that do put their confidence Lyrics: Those that do place their confidence
Upon the Lord our God onely,
And flie to him for their defence,
in all their need and misery:
Their faith is sure still to endure,
Grounded on Christ the corner-stone;
Mov'd with none ill, but standeth still,
Stedfast like to the mount Sion.
And as about Jerusalem,
The mighty hils do it compasse,
So that no enemies can come to them,
to hurt that towne in any case:
So God indeed in every need,
his faithfull people doth defend,
Standing them by assuredly,
from this time forth world without end.
Right wise and good is our Lord God
And will not suffer certainly,
The sinners and ungodlies rod
To tarry upon his family.
Lest they also from God should go,
Falling to sin and wickednesse:
O Lord defend world without end
Thy Christian flock through thy goodness.
O Lord do good to Christians all,
that stedfast in thy Word abide:
Such as willingly from God fall,
And to false doctrine daily slide,
Such will the Lord scatter abroad,
With hypocrites thrown down to hell,
God will them send paines without end:
But Lord grant peace to Israel.
Glory to God the Father of might,
And to the Son our Saviour,
And to the Holy Ghost whose light
Shine in our hearts, and us succour,
That the right way from day to day
We may walk, and him glorifie:
With hearts desire all that are here
Worship the Lord, and Amen cry.
Scripture: Psalm 125

In convertendo
Author: W. W. Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: When that the Lord Lyrics: 1 When that the Lord,
againe his Sion had forth brought,
From bondage great,
and also servitude extreme:
His work was such,
as did surmount mans heart and thought:
So that we were
much like to them that use to dream
Our mouthes were
with laughter filled then
And eke our tongues
did shew us joyfull men.
2 The heathen folk
were forced then this to confesse:
How that the Lord
for them also great things had done.
3 But much more we,
and therefore can confesse no lesse:
Wherefore to joy,
we have good cause as we begun,
4 O Lord go forth,
thou canst our bondage end:
As to desarts
the flowing rivers send.
5 Full true it is,
that they which sow in teares indeed,
A time will come,
when they shall reap in mirth & joy.
6 They went and wept
in bearing of their precious seed"
For that their foes
full oftentimes did them annoy:
But their returne
with joy they shall sure see:
Their sheaves home bring,
and not empared be. Scripture: Psalm 126 Used With Tune: [When that the Lord]

Beati omnes
Author: T. S. Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Blessed art thou that fearest God Lyrics: 1 Blessed art thou that fearest God,
and walkest in his way:
2 For of thy labour thou shalt eat,
happy art thou I say.
3 Like fruitfull vines on thy house side,
so doth thy wife spring out:
Thy children stand like olive plants,
thy table round about.
4 Thus art thou blest that fearest God,
and he shall let thee see
5 The promised Jerusalem,
and her felicity.
6 Thou shalt thy childrens children see,
to thy great joyes increase"
And likewise grace on Israel,
prosperity and peace.
Scripture: Psalm 128
Beati omnes
Saepe expugnaverunt
Author: N. Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Oft they (now Israel may say) Lyrics: 1 Oft they (now Israel may say)
me from my youth assail'd:
2 Oft they assail'd me from my youth,
yet never have prevail'd.
3 Upon my back the plowers plow'd,
and furrowes long did cast:
4 The righteous God hath cut the cords
of wicked foes at last.
5 They that hate me shall be asham'd
and turned back also:
6 And made as grass upon the house,
which withers ere it grow.
7 Whereof the mower cannot find
enough to fill his hand:
Nor can he fill his lap that go'th
to gleane upon the land.
8 Nor passers by pray God on them
to let his blessing fall:
Nor say we blesse you in the Name,
of God the Lord at all. Scripture: Psalm 129
Saepe expugnaverunt
Memento Dom.
Author: M. Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Remember Davids troubles Lord Lyrics: 1 Remember Davids troubles Lord
2 how to the Lord he swore:
And vow'd a vow to Jacobs God,
to keepe for evermore.
3 I will not come within my house
nor climb up to my bed:
4 Nor let my Temples take their rest
nor the eyes in my head.
5 Till I have found out for the Lord,
a place to sit thereon:
An house for Jacobs God to be
an habitation.
6 We heard of it at Ephrata,
theredid we heare this sound:
and in the fields and forests there,
these voices first were found.
7 We will assay and go in now
his Tabernacle there:
Before his foot-stool to fall down,
and worship him in feare.
8 Arise, O Lord, arise, I say,
into thy resting place:
Both thou and the Arke of thy strength,
the presence of thy grace.
9 Let all thy priests be clothed, Lord,
with truth and righteousnesse:
Let all thy Saints and holy men
sing all with joyfullnesse.
10 And for thy servant Davids sake
refuse not, Lord, I say.
The face of thine annointed Lord
not turn thy face away.
The second Part:
11 The Lord to David swore in truth
and will not shrink from it:
Saying the fruit of thy body
upon thy seat shall sit.
12 And if thy sonnes my covenant keep,
that I shall learne each one:
Then shall their sonnes for ever sit
upon thy princely throne.
13 The Lord himselfe hath chose Sion,
and loves therein to dwellL
Saying this is my resting place,
I love and like it well.
14 And I will blesse with great increase
her victuals every where:
And I will satisfie with bread
the needy that be there.
15 Yes I will deck and clothe her Priests
with my salvation!
And all her Saints shall sing for joy
of my protection.
16 There will I surely make the horne
of David for to bud:
For there I have ordain'd for mine
a lanterne bright and good.
17 As for his enemies,, I will clothe
with shame for evermore:
But I will cause his crown to shine
more fresh than heretofore.
Scripture: Psalm 132 Used With Tune: [Remember Davids troubles Lord]

Ecce quam
Author: W. W. Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: O how happy a thing it is Lyrics: 1 O what a happy thing it is,
and joyfull for to see
Brethren together fast to hold
the band of amity!
2 It cals to mind that sweet perfume,
and that costly ointment,
Which on the Sacrificers head
by Gods precept was spent.
It was not Aarons head alone,
but drencht his beard throughout:
And finally it did run down
his rich attire about.
3 And as the lower ground doth drink
the dew of Hermons hill:
And Sion with his silver drops
the fields with fruit doth fill.
4 Even so the Lord doth powre on them
his blessings manifold:
Whose hearts and minds without al guile
this knot do keep and hold. Scripture: Psalm 133
Ecce quam
Eripe me
Author: N. Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: Lord save me from the evill man Lyrics: 1 Lord save me from the evill man,
and from the cruell wight
Deliver me, which evill do
imagine in their sprite.
2 Which make on me continuall warre,
their tongues 1oe they have whet
3 Like Serpents; underneath their lips
is Adders poyson set.
4 Keep me (O Lord) from wicked hands,
preserve me to abide:
Free from the cruell man that meanes
to cause my steps to slide.
5 The proud have laid a snare for me,
and they have spread a net
With cords in my path-way, and gins
for me eke have they set.
6 Therefore I said unto the Lord,
thou art my God alone:
Heare me O Lord, O heare the voice
wherewith I pray and mone.
7 O Lord my God, thou only art
the strength that saveth me:
My head in day of battell hath
been covered still by thee.
8 Let not (O Lord) the wicked have
the end of his desire:
Performe not his ill thoughts, lest he
with pride be set on fire.
9 Of them that compasse me about,
the chiefest of them all,
Lord let the mischiefe of their lips
upon themselves befall.
10 Let coales fall on them, let him cast
east in consuming flame:
And in deep pits, so as they may
may rise out of the same.
11 For no backbiter shall on earth
be set in stable plight:
And evill to destruction still
shall hunt the cruell wight.
12 I know the Lord th'afflicted will
revenge, and judge the poore:
13 The just shall praise thy name, and shal
dwell with thee evermore.
Scripture: Psalm 140
Eripe me
Exaltabo te
Author: N. Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Thee will I laud my God and King Lyrics: 1 Thee will I laud my God and King,
and bless thy Name for aye:
2 For ever will I praise thy Name
and blesse thee day by day.
3 Great is the Lord, most worthy praise,
his greatnesse none can reach:
4 From race to race, they shall thy workes
praise, and thy power preach.
5 I of thy glorious Majesty
the beauty will record.
And meditate upon thy works
most wonderfull O Lord.
6 And they shall of thy powrr and of
thy frstfull acts declare:
And I to publish all abroad,
thy greatnessr will not spare.
7 And they into the mention shall
break of thy goodnessr great:
And I aloud thy righteousnesse
in singing shall repeat.
8 The Lord our God is gracious,
and mercifull also:
Of great abounding mercy, and
to anger he is slow.
9 Yea good to all, and all his works
His mercy doth exceed:
10 Lo all thy works do praise thee Lord,
and do thy honour spread.
11 Thy Saints do blesse thee and they do
thy kingdomes glory show"
12 And blaze thy power, to cause the sons
of men the same to know.
The second Part.
13 And of his mighty kingdome eke
do spread the glorious praise:
Thy kingdome Lord, a kingdome is
that doth endure alwaies:
And thy dominion through each age
endures without decay.
14 The Lord upholdeth them that fall,
their sliding he doth stay.
15 The eyes of all do wait on thee,
thou dost them all relieve:
And thou to each sufficing food
in season due dost give.
16 Thou openest thy plenteous hand,
and bounteously dost fill
All things whatsoever do live,
With gifts of thy good will.
17 The Lord is just in all his waies,
his works are holy all:
18 Neare all he is that call on him,
in truth that on him call.
19 He the desires which they require,
that feare him will fulfill:
And he will heare them when they cry,
and save them all he will.
20 The Lord preserves all those to him
that bear a loving heart:
But he all them that wicked are
will utterly subvert.
16 My thankfull mouth shall gladly speak
the praises of the Lord:
All flesh to praise his holy Name
for ever shall accord. Scripture: Psalm 145 Used With Tune: [Thee will I laud my God and King]
Exaltabo te
Lauda anima
Author: J. H. Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: My soul praise thou the Lord alwaies Lyrics: 1 My soul praise thou the Lord alwaies,
my God I will confesse:
2 While breath and life prolong my daies
my tongue no time shall cease.
3 Trust not in worldly Princes then,
though they abound in wealth:
Nor in the sonnes of mortall men,
in whom there is no health.
4 For why? Their breath doth soon depart,
to earth anon they fall,
And then the counsels of their heart
decay and perish all.
5 O happy is that man I say,
whom Jacob's God doth aid:
And he whose hope doth not decay,
but on the Lord is staid.
6 Which made the earth and waters deep,
the heavens high withall:
Which doth his word and promise keep
and loose the fetters strong.
7 With right alwaies doth he proceed
for such as suffer wrong:
The poore and hungry he doth feed,
and loose the fetters strong.
8 The Lord doth send the blind their sight,
the lame to limbs restore:
The Lord (I say) doth love the right,
and just man evermore.
9 He doth defend the fatherlesse,
and stranger sad in heart:
And quit the widow from distresse,
and ill mens ways subvert.
10 The Lord thy God eternally
O Sion still shall raigne:
In time of all posterity
for ever to remaine. Scripture: Psalm 146
Lauda anima
