232. My Heart is Fixed, O God

1 My heart is fixed, O God,
A grateful song I raise;
Awake, O harp, in joyful strains,
Awake, my soul, to praise.

2 Among the nations, Lord,
To Thee my song shall rise;
Thy truth is great above the heavens,
Thy mercies reach the skies.

3 Above the heavens, O God,
And over all the earth,
Let men exalt Thy glorious Name
And tell Thy matchless worth.

4 Stretch forth Thy mighty hand
In answer to our prayer,
And let Thy own beloved ones
Thy great salvation share.

5 The holy God has said,
All lands shall own My sway;
My people shall My glory share,
The heathen shall obey.

6 O who will lead our hosts
To triumph o'er the foe,
If Thou shalt cast us off, O God,
Nor with our armies go?

7 The help of man is vain,
Be Thou our Helper, Lord;
Through Thee we shall do valiantly
If Thou Thy aid afford.
