Lead On, O King Eternal

Author: Ernest W. Shurtleff Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 395 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 31:3 Lyrics: 1 Lead on, O King Eternal, The day of march has come; Henceforth in fields of conquest Thy tents shall be our home: Through days of preparation Thy grace has made us strong, And now, O King Eternal, We lift our battle song. 2 Lead on, O King Eternal, Till sin's fierce war shall cease, And Holiness shall whisper The sweet Amen of peace; For not with swords' loud clashing, Nor roll of stirring drums, With deeds of love and mercy, The heavenly Kingdom comes. 3 Lead on, O King Eternal: We follow, not with fears; For gladness breaks like morning Where'er Thy face appears; Thy cross is lifted o'er us; We journey in its light: The crown awaits the conquest; Lead on, O God of might. Amen.

Charity to the Poor; or Pity to the Afflicted

Appears in 86 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 31:1-3 First Line: Blest is the man, whose breast can move Lyrics: 1 Blest is the man, whose breast can move, And melt with pity to the poor, Whose soul, by sympathizing love, Feels what his fellow saints endure. 2 His heart contrives for their relief More good than his own hands can do; He in the time of general grief Shall find the Lord has mercy too. 3 His soul shall live secure on earth, With secret blessings on his head, When drought, and pestilence, and dearth, Around him multiply their dead. 4 Or if he languish on his couch God will pronounce his sins forgiven, Will save him with a healing touch, Or take his willing soul to heaven.

Defend me, Lord, from Shame

Appears in 32 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 31 Lyrics: 1 Defend me, Lord, from Shame, for still I trust in Thee: As Just and Righteous is thy Name, from Danger set me free. 2 Bow down thy gracious Ear, and speedy Succour send: Do Thou my stedfast Rock appear, to shelter and defend. 3 Since Thou, when Foes oppress, my Rock and Fortress art, To guide me forth from this Distress, thy wonted Help impart. 4 Release me from the Snare which they have closely laid; Since I, O God my Strength repair to Thee alone for Aid. 5 To Thee, the God of Truth, my Life, and all that's mine (For Thou preserv'dst me from my Youth,) I willingly resign. 6 All vain Designs I hate, of those that trust in Lies: And still my soul, in ev'ry State, to God for Succour flies. Part II 7 Those Mercies Thou hast shown, I'll chearfully express; For Thou hast seen my Streights, and know my Soul in deep Distress. 8 When Keilah's treach'rous Race did all my Strength inclose, Thou gav'st my Feet a larger Space, to shun my watchful Foes. 9 Thy Mercy, Lord, display, and hear my just Complaint; For both my Soul and flesh decay, with Grief and Hunger faint. 10 Sad Thoughts my Life oppress; my Years are spent in Groans; My Sins have made my Strength decrease, and ev'n consum'd my Bones. 11 My Foes my Suff'rings mock'd; my Neighbours did upbraid; My Friends, at Sight of me, were shock'd, and fled, as Men dismay'd. 12 Forsook by all am I, as dead, and out of Mind; And like a shatter'd Vessel lie, whose Parts can ne'er be join'd. 13 Yet sland'rous Words they speak, and seem my Pow'r to dread; Whilst they together counsel take my guiltless Blood to shed. 14 But still my stedfast Trust, I on thy Help repose: That Thou, my God, art good and just, my Soul with Comfort knows. Part III 15 Whate'er Events betide, thy Wisdom times them all: Then, Lord, thy Servant safely hide from those that seek his Fall. 16 The Brightness of thy Face, to me, O Lord, disclose; And, as thy mercies still increase, preserve me from my Foes. 17 Me from Dishonour save, who still have call'd on Thee; Let That, and Silence in the Grave, the Sinner's Portion be. 18 Do Thou their Tongues restrain; whose Breath in Lies is spent; Who false Reports, with proud Disdain, against the Righteous vent. 19 How great thy Mercies are to such as fear thy Name; Which Thou, for those that trust thy Care, dost to the World proclaim! 29 Thou keep'st them in thy sight, from proud Oppressors free: From Tongues that do in Strife delight, they are preserv'd by Thee. 21 With Glory and Renown God's Name be ever bless'd; Whose Love is Keilab's well-fenc'd Town was wond'rously express'd! 22 I said, in hasty Flight, "I'm banish'd from thine eyes:" Yet still Thou keptst me in thy Sight, and heardst my earnest Cries. 23 O! all ye Saints, the Lord with eager Love pursue; Who to the Just will Help afford, and give the Proud their Due. 24 Ye that on God rely, courageously proceed; For He will still your Hearts supply with Strength, in Time of Need.

Put all your trust in God

Author: John Wesley (1703-1791); Paul Gerhardt (1607-1676) Appears in 35 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 31 Lyrics: 1 Put all your trust in God, in duty's path go on; walk in his strength with faith and hope, so shall your work be done. Give to the winds your fears; hope, and be undismayed; God hears your sighs and counts your tears, God shall lift up your head. 2 Through waves, and clouds, and storms he gently clears your way; await his time; so shall this night soon end in joyful day. Leave to his sovereign sway to choose and to command; then you shall marvel at his way how wise, how strong his hand! 3 You see our weakness, Lord; our hearts are known to you: give strength to every failing hand and keep our footsteps true. Let us, in life, in death, your steadfast truth declare, confessing, with our final breath, your love and guardian care.

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David

Appears in 10 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 31 First Line: In thee, O Lord, I put my trust Lyrics: 1 In thee, O Lord, I put my trust, Sham'd never let me be; Accordingly as thou art just Do thou deliver me. 2 Bow down to me thine ear with speed, Let me deliverance have, My rock of strength, and house of fence, O be thou me to save. 3 Because a rock thou me unto And fortress mine wilt be: Therefore for thy name sake, O do Thou lead and guide thou me. 4 O pull thou me out of the net, Which to ensnare me they Full privily for me have set: Because thou art my stay. 5 Into thy hands my spirit I Reposing do commit; Jehovah God of verity, Thou hast redeemed it. 6 Who lying vanities embrace, Such men have I abhorr'd; But as for me, I wholly place My trust upon the Lord. 7 I in thy mercies will be glad, And joy, because that thou Didst view my straits, in anguish sad My soul thou diddest know. 8 And thou hast not enclosed me Within the enemies hand: But in the place of liberty Thou mad'st my feet to stand. [2] 9 O Lord, because distress'd am I, In mercy send relief! My soul, my belly, and mine eye, Consumed are with grief. 10 Because my life with sorrow quails, With sighs my years decay: And for my sins my vigour fails, My bones do pine away. 11 To all my foes a scorn am I, Chiefly my nieghbours to. A fear to friends, they that me spie Without, did flee me fro. 12 I as a dead man am forgot, That's out of memory; And like unto a broken pot, Ev'n such an one am I. 13 Because that I of all the rout The slandering did hear: On every side me round about There was a trembling fear. While as that they against me did Together council take, They craftily have purposed, My life away to make. 14 But O Jehovah, upon thee My confidence doth stand? I said thou art a God to me. 15 My times are in thy hand; From the hands of mine enemies Do thou deliver me, And from the hand of them likewise That my pursuers be [3] 16 Thy countenance to shine upon, Thy servant do thou make: O give to me salvation, Ev'n for thy mercies sake. 17 O Lord, let me not be asham'd, For call'd on thee I have: O let the wicked men be sham'd, And silent in the grave. 18 Let lying lips be silenced; 'Gainst him that is upright, That do such grievous speeches spread In pride and in despite. 19 Oh how great good hast thou in store Laid up, and wrought for them, Who fear and trust in thee before The sons of earthly men! 20 Thou in the secret of thy face Shalt hide them from man's pride, From strive of tongues in covert place Thou shalt them safely hide. 21 O let Jehovah blessed be, Because he hath made known His kindness wonderful to me, Within a fenced town. 22 For I in haste said, i am cast Out from before thine eyes; My suit for grace yet heard thou hast, When I to thee did cry. 23 O love the Lord all ye his saints, the faithful he doth guard, But he unto proud doers grants A plentiful reward. 24 See that encouraged you be, And let your heart wax strong, All whosoever hopefully Do for Jehovah long.
