How Great the Goodness Kept in Store

Meter: 8.8.6 D Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Deliverance From Enemies Lyrics: 1 How great the goodness kept in store For those who fear Thee and adore In meek humility. How great the deeds with mercy fraught Which openly Thy hand has wrought For those who trust in Thee, For those who trust in Thee. 2 Secured by Thy unfailing grace, In Thee they find a hiding-place When foes their plots devise; A sure retreat Thou wilt prepare, And keep them safely sheltered there, When strife of tongues shall rise, When strife of tongues shall rise. 3 Blest be the Lord, for He has showed, While giving me a safe abode, His love beyond compare; Although His face He seemed to hide, He ever heard me when I cried, And made my wants His care, And made my wants His care. 4 Ye saints, Jehovah love and serve, For He the faithful will preserve, And shield from men of pride; Be strong, and let your hearts be brave, All ye that wait for Him to save, In God the Lord confide, In God the Lord confide. Scripture: Psalm 31 Used With Tune: ARIEL

Be Thou My Helper in the Strife

Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Deliverance From Enemies Lyrics: 1 Be Thou my helper in the strife, O Lord, my strong Defender be; Thy mighty shield protect my life, Thy spear confront the enemy. Amid the conflict, O my Lord, Thy precious promise let me hear, The faithful, reassuring word: I am thy Savior, do not fear. 2 Ashamed, confounded let them be Who seek my ruin and disgrace; O let Thy angel fight for me, And drive my foes before his face. Without a cause my life they sought, Without a case their plots they laid; Themselves within their snares be caught, And be my crafty foes dismayed. 3 My soul is joyful in the Lord, In His salvation I rejoice; To Him my heart will praise accord And bless His Name with thankful voice. For who, O Lord, is like to Thee, Defender of the poor and meek? The needy Thy salvation see When mighty foes their ruin seek. 4 Unrighteous witnesses have stood And told of crimes beyond belief; Returning evil for my good, They overwhelm my soul with grief. When in affliction they were sad, I wept and made their grief my own; But in my trouble they are glad And strive that I may be o'erthrown. 5 O Lord, how long wilt Thou delay? My soul for Thy salvation waits; My thankfulness I will display Amid the crowds that throng Thy gates. Let not my enemies rejoice And wrongfully exult o'er me; They speak not peace, but lift their voice To trouble those that peaceful be. 6 My foes with joy my woes survey, But Thou, O Lord, hast seen it all; O be no longer far away, Nor silent when on Thee I call. O haste to my deliverance now, O Lord, my righteous cause maintain; My Lord and God alone art Thou; Awake, and make thy justice plain. 7 O Lord my God, I look to Thee, Be Thou my righteous Judge, I pray; Let not my foes exult o'er me And laugh with joy at my dismay. With shame and trouble those requite Who would my righteous cause destroy; But those who in the good delight, Let them be glad and shout for joy. 8 Yea, let the Lord be magnified, Because Thy servants Thou dost bless; And I, from morn till eventide, Will daily praise Thy righteousness. My soul is joyful in the Lord, In His salvation I rejoice; To Him my heart will praise accord And bless His Name with thankful voice. Scripture: Psalm 35 Used With Tune: HE LEADETH ME

'Tis He that makes me strong and brave, The Lord Who guides my steps aright. 6 Thy free salvation is my shield, My sure defense in every strait; Thy hand upholds me, lest I yield; Thy gentleness has made me great.

By Thy good Spirit lead From trouble and distress, My erring feet shall tread The path of uprightness. 6 O Lord, for Thy Name's sake Revive my fainting heart; My soul from trouble take, For just and true Thou art.

Why Standest Thou Afar, O Lord

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Deliverance From Enemies Lyrics: 1 Why standest Thou afar, O Lord, Why art Thou hid in trouble's hour? The wicked persecute the poor In haughty pride and reckless power. 2 Let their devices work their fall, For in their shame is all their pride; And while they seek unrighteous gain, The Lord of justice is defied. 3 The wicked thinks, in foolish pride, There is no God who will repay; He has no fear of God or man Because God's judgments long delay. 4 Unmoved by fear of coming doom, On fraud and wickedness intent, With craft he lurks and waits to catch The helpless and the innocent. 5 A lion crouching for his prey, He waits the poor to overthrow; He thinks that God remembers not, Or hides His face and will not know. 6 Arise, O Lord, lift up Thy hand, O God, protect the poor and meek; Why should the proud Thy justice doubt, And words of bold defiance speak? 7 O Lord, Thou wilt indeed requite, The sin and sorrow Thou dost see; The helpless and the fatherless Commit themselves, O Lord, to Thee. 8 Break Thou the power of wicked men And let their works no longer stand; The Lord is King for evermore, Who drove the nations from His land. 9 Lord, Thou hast heard the lowly prayer, The fainting heart Thou wilt restore, The helpless cause Thou wilt maintain, That mortal man may boast no more. Scripture: Psalm 10 Used With Tune: BROOKFIELD

The Prayer of the Righteous

Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Prayer For Deliverance from Enemies First Line: Lord, hear the right, regard my cry Lyrics: 1 Lord, hear the right, regard my cry, My prayer from lips sincere; Send Thy approval from on high, My righteousness make clear. Thou in the night my heart hast tried, Nor found it turned from Thee aside. 2 With steadfast courage I design No wrong to speak or do; Thy path of life I choose for mine And walk with purpose true. For help, O God, I cry to Thee, Assured that Thou wilt answer me. 3 O Thou that ever savest those Whose trust on Thee is stayed, Preserving them from all their foes By Thy almighty aid, Let me Thy loving-kindness see, Thy wondrous mercy, full and free. 4 O guard me well as one doth guard The apple of the eye; While deadly foes are pressing hard, To Thee, to Thee I cry. Do Thou my rest and refuge be, O let Thy wings o'er shadow me. 5 My enemy, grown strong in pride, Would take my life away, A lion lurking by my side, Most greedy for his prey. Confront and cast him down, O Lord, From evil save me by Thy sword. 6 Defend me from the men of pride, Whose portion is below, Who, with life's treasures satisfied, No better portion know; They, with earth's joys and wealth content, Must leave them all when life is spent. 7 When I in righteousness at last Thy glorious face shall see, When all the weary night is past, And I awake with Thee To view the glories that abide, Then, then I shall be satisfied. Scripture: Psalm 17 Used With Tune: CALM

The lightning of his spear? 4 He rides upon the winged wind, And angels in array In millions wait to know his mind, And swift as flames obey. 5 He speaks, and at his fierce rebuke Whole armies are dismay'd; His voice, his frown, his angry look Strikes all their courage dead. 6 He forms our generals for the field, With all their dreadful skill; Gives them his awful sword to wield, And makes their hearts of steel. 7 Oft has the Lord whole nations blest, For his own church's sake; The powers that give his people rest, Shall of his care partake.
