My refuge is the God of love

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 60 hymnals Topics: God loves the Righteous, and hates the Wicked Lyrics: 1 My refuge is the God of love; Why do my foes insult and cry, Fly like a tim'rous trembling dove, To distant woods or mountains fly? 2 If government be all destroy'd, (This firm foundation of our peace) And violence make justice void, Where shall the righteous seek redress? 3 The Lord in heav’n has fix'd his throne, His eye surveys the world below: To him all mortal things are known; His eye-lids search our spirits through. 4 If he afflicts his saints so far, To prove their love and try their grace, What may the bold transgressors fear? His soul abhors their wicked ways. 5 On impious wretches he shall rain Sulphurous flames of wasting death, Such as he kindled on the plain Of Sodom, with his angry breath. 6 The righteous Lord loves righteous souls Whose thoughts and actions are sincere, And with a gracious eye beholds The men that his own image bear. Scripture: Psalm 11

Thy favor be imparted To godly men, O Lord; Bless all that are pure-hearted, The good with good reward. 3 The men who falsehood cherish, Forsaking truth and right, With wicked ones shall perish; God will their sin requite. From sin your saints defending, Their joy, O Lord, increase, With mercy never-ending And everlasting peace. Scripture: Psalm 125 Used With Tune: MIRIAM
