Appears in 52 hymnals Topics: Afflicted pity to them; Afflicted pity to them First Line: Behold the love, the generous love Lyrics: 1 Behold the love, the generous love, That holy David shows; Behold his kind compassion move For his afflicted foes! 2 When they are sick, his soul complains, And seems to feel the smart; The spirit of the gospel reigns, And melts his pious heart. 3 How did his flowing tears condole As for a brother dead! And fasting mortified his soul, While for their life he pray'd. 4 They groan'd, and curs'd him on their bed, Yet still he pleads and mourns; And double blessings on his head The righteous God returns. 5 Oh glorious type of heavenly grace! Thus Christ the Lord appears; While sinners curse, their Saviour prays, And pities them with tears. 6 He, the true David, Israel’s king, Blest and belov'd of God, To save us rebels dead in sin Paid his own dearest blood. Scripture: Psalm 35:12-14

What various stores of good, Diffused from our Redeemer's hand, And purchased with his blood. 4 Jesus, our living Head, We bless thy faithful care; Our Advocate before the throne, And our Forerunner there. 5 Here fix, my roving heart! Here wait, my warmest love! Till the communion be complete, In nobler scenes above. Used With Tune: SHIRLAND

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.

Psalm 35 Part 1

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 20 hymnals Topics: Afflicted pity to them First Line: Now plead my cause, Almighty God Lyrics: Now plead my cause, Almighty God, With all the sons of strife; And fight against the men of blood, Who fight against my life. Draw out thy spear and stop their way, Lift thine avenging rod; But to my soul in mercy say, "I am thy Savior God!" They plant their snares to catch my feet, And nets of mischief spread; Plunge the destroyers in the pit That their own hands have made. Let fogs and darkness hide their way, And slipp'ry be their ground; Thy wrath shall make their lives a prey, And all their rage confound. They fly like chaff before the wind, Before thine angry breath; The angel of the Lord behind Pursues them down to death. They love the road that leads to hell; Then let the rebels die, Whose malice is implacable Against the Lord on high. But if thou hast a chosen few Amongst that impious race, Divide them from the bloody crew, By thy surprising grace. Then will I raise my tuneful voice, To make thy wonders known; In their salvation I'll rejoice, And bless thee for my own. Scripture: Psalm 35:1-9
