Thou, Lord, hast proved and tested us As silver tried by fire Thy hand has made our burden great And thwarted our desire 2 Thro' pain and trouble Thou hast led, And humbled all our pride; But, in the end, to liberty And wealth Thy hand did guide. Here in Thy house I give to Thee The life that Thou dost bless, And pay the solemn vows I made When I was in distress. 3 Come, ye that fear the Lord, and hear What He has done for me; My cry for help is turned to praise, For He has set me free. If in my heart I sin regard, My prayer He will not hear; But truly God has heard my voice, My prayer has reached His ear. 4 O let the Lord, our gracious God, Forever blessed be, Who has not turned my prayer from Him, Nor yet His grace from me. O all ye peoples, bless our God, Aloud proclaim His praise, Who safely holds our soul in life, And steadfast makes our ways. Scripture: Psalm 66 Used With Tune: ANCYRA

The Fearlessness of Faith

Appears in 18 hymnals Topics: Access to God First Line: Jehovah is my light Lyrics: 1 Jehovah is my light, And my salvation near; Who shall my soul affright, Or cause my heart to fear? While God my strength, my life sustains, Secure from fear my soul remains. 2 When evil-doers came To make my life their prey, They stumbled in their shame And fell in sore dismay; Though hosts make war on every side, Still fearless I in God confide. 3 My one request has been, And still this prayer I raise, That I may dwell within God's house through all my days, Jehovah's beauty to admire, And in His temple to inquire. 4 When troubles round me swell, When fears and dangers throng, Securely I will dwell In His pavilion strong; Within the covert of His tent He hides me till the storm is spent. 5 Uplifted on a rock Above my foes around, Amid the battle shock My song shall still resound; Then joyful offerings I will bring, Jehovah's praise my heart shall sing. Scripture: Psalm 27 Used With Tune: MILLENNIUM
