O God of truth, whose living word

Author: Thomas Hughes, 1822-1896 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 78 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God of truth, whose living word upholds whate’er hath breath, look down on thy creation, Lord, enslaved by sin and death. 2 Set up thy standard, Lord, that we, who claim a heavenly birth, may march with thee to smite the lies that vex thy groaning earth. 3 Ah, would we join that blest array, and follow in the might of him, the Faithful and the True, in raiment clean and white? 4 We fight for truth? We fight for God? Poor slaves of lies and sin! He who would fight for thee on earth must first be true within. 5 Then, God of truth, for whom we long, thou who wilt hear our prayer, do thine own battle in our hearts, and slay the falsehood there. 6 Yea, come! Then, tried as in the fire, from every lie set free, thy perfect truth shall dwell in us, and we shall live in thee. Topics: General Hymns Christian Warfare Used With Tune: ST MARY

My safety cometh from the Lord, who heaven and earth hath made. 2 Thy foot he'll not let slide, nor will he slumber that thee keeps; behold, he that keeps Israel, he slumbers not, nor sleeps. 3 The Lord thee keeps; the Lord thy shade on thy right hand doth stay: the moon by night thee shall not smite, nor yet the sun by day. 4 The Lord shall keep thy soul; he shall preserve thee from all ill; henceforth thy going out and in God keep for ever will.

Lord, thou hast been our dwelling-place

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, thou hast been our dwelling-place in generations all. 2 Before thou ever hadst brought forth the mountains great or small; ere ever thou hadst formed the earth, and all the world abroad; thou even from everlasting art to everlasting God. 3 Thou, Lord, unto destruction dost man that is mortal turn; and unto them thou sayest, Again, ye sons of men, return. 4 Because a thousand years appear no more before thy sight than yesterday when it is past, or than a watch by night. 5 As with an overflowing flood thou carriest them away: they like a sleep are, like the grass that grows at morn are they. 6 At morn it flourishes and grows, cut down at even doth fade. 7 For by thine anger we’re consumed, thy wrath makes us afraid. 8 Our sins thou and iniquities dost in thy presence place, and sett’st our secret faults before the brightness of thy face. 9 For in thine anger all our days do pass on to an end; and as a tale that hath been told, so we our years do spend. 10 Threescore and ten years do sum up our days and years, we see; or if, by reason of more strength, in some fourscore they be; yet doth the strength of such old men but grief and labour prove; for it is soon cut off, and we fly hence, and soon remove. 11 Who knows thine anger's power, and keeps thy fear before his eyes? 12 To count our days so teach thou us that our hearts may be wise.

Jesus, Thou art my Righteousness

Author: C. Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Thou art my Righteousness, For all my sins were Thine: Thy Death hath bought of God my peace, Thy life hath made Him mine. 2 For ever here my rest shall be, Close to Thy bleeding side; This all my hope and all my plea: For me the Saviour died. 3 My dying Saviour and my God, Fountain for guilt and sin, Sprinkle me ever with Thy Blood, And cleanse, and keep me lean. 4 The Atonement of Thy Blood apply, Till faith to sight improve; Till hope in full fruition die, And all my soul be love.
