Promise Mercies

Representative Text

1 Thy promised mercies send to me,
Thy great salvation, LORD;
so shall I answer those who scoff;
my trust is in Thy word.

2 My hope is in Thy judgment, LORD;
take not Thy truth from me,
and in Thy law forevermore
my daily walk shall be.

3 And I will walk at liberty
because Thy truth I seek;
Thy truth before the kings of earth
with boldness I will speak.

4 The Lord's commands, which I have loved,
shall still new joy impart;
with rev'rence I will hear Thy laws
and keep them in my heart.

SARAH (Gabriel)


[O Christian traveler, fear no more]


LAMBETH (Schulthes)

Credited to Wilhelm Schulthes, 1871, in The Hymnal (1916). Reviews of his works in The Musical Times in 1871 include an "Ave Maria" for organ/piano and "O Salutaris" for soprano and choir. These pieces appear to be exceptionally rare and are not readily available for study. —Chris Fenner
