The Conqueror's Song

Appears in 35 hymnals Topics: Spiritual Enemies overcome; Spiritual Enemies overcome First Line: To thine almighty arm we owe Lyrics: 1 To thine almighty arm we owe The triumphs of the day: Thy terrors, Lord, confound the foe, And melt their strength away. 2 'Tis by thy aid our troops prevail, And break united powers, Or burn their boasted fleets, or scale The proudest of their towers. 3 How have we chas'd them through the field, And trod them to the ground, While thy salvation was our shield, But they no shelter found! 4 In vain to idol saints they cry, And perish in their blood; Where is a rock so great so high, So powerful as our God? 5 The God of Israel ever lives; His name be ever blest; 'Tis his own arm the victory gives, And gives his people rest. Scripture: Psalm 18

Happy the heart where graces reign

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 243 hymnals Topics: Spiritual enemies overcome Lyrics: Happy the heart where graces reign, Where love inspires the breast; Love is the brightest of the train, And strengthens all the rest. Knowledge, alas! 'tis all in vain, And all in vain our fear; Our stubborn sins will fight and reign, If love be absent there. 'Tis love that makes our cheerful feet In swift obedience move; The devils know and tremble too, But Satan cannot love. This is the grace that lives and sings When faith and hope shall cease; 'Tis this shall strike our joyful strings In the sweet, realms of bliss. Before we quite forsake our clay, Or leave this dark abode, The wings of love bear us away To see our smiling God. Scripture: Psalm 18:15-18

Psalm 3

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 51 hymnals Topics: Spiritual enemies overcome First Line: O Lord, how many are my foes Lyrics: O Lord, how many are my foes, In this weak state of flesh and blood! My peace they daily discompose, But my defence and hope is God. Tired with the burdens of the day, To thee I raised an evening cry: Thou heard'st when I began to pray, And thine almighty help was nigh. Supported by thine heav'nly aid, I laid me down, and slept secure: Not death should make my heart afraid, Though I should wake and rise no more. But God sustained me all the night: Salvation doth to God belong; He raised my head to see the light, And make his praise my morning song. Scripture: Psalm 3:1-5

Scripture: Psalm 144:12-15

That God who darts his lightnings down, Who shakes the worlds above, And mountains tremble at his frown, How wondrous is his love! Scripture: Psalm 144:3-6

Appears in 256 hymnals Topics: Spiritual Enemies overcome Lyrics: 1 My God, my King, thy various Praise Shall fill the Remnant of my Days; Thy Grace employ my humble Tongue Till Death and Glory raise the Song. 2 The Wings of ev'ry Hour shall bear Some thankful Tribute to thine Ear; And ev'ry setting Sun shall see New Works of Duty done for Thee. 3 Thy Truth and Justice I'll proclaim; Thy Bounty flows, an endless Stream; Thy Mercy swift, thine Anger slow, But dreadful to the stubborn Foe. 4 Thy Works with sov'reign Glory shine, And speak thy Majesty divine; Let Britain round her Shores proclaim The Sound and Honour of thy Name. 5 Let distant Times and Nations raise The long Succession of thy Praise, And unborn Ages make my Song The Joy and Labour of their Tongue. 6 But who can speak thy wond'rous Deeds, Thy greatness all our Thoughts exceeds; Vast and unsearchable thy Ways, Vast and immortal be thy Praise.

Let every mortal ear attend

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 481 hymnals Topics: Spiritual enemies overcome Lyrics: Let every mortal ear attend, And every heart rejoice; The trumpet of the gospel sounds With an inviting voice. Lo! all ye hungry, starving souls. That feed upon the wind, And vainly strive with earthly toys To fill an empty mind. Eternal Wisdom has prepared A soul-reviving feast, And bids your longing appetites The rich provision taste. Ho! ye that pant for living streams, And pine away and die, here you may quench your raging thirst With springs that never dry. Rivers of love and mercy here In a rich ocean join; Salvation in abundance flows, Like floods of milk and wine. [Ye perishing and naked poor, Who work with mighty pain To weave a garment of your own That will not hide your sin, Come naked, and adorn your souls In robes prepared by God, Wrought by the labors of his Son, And dyed in his own blood.] Dear God! the treasures of thy love Are everlasting mines, Deep as our helpless miseries are, And boundless as our sins. The happy gates of gospel grace Stand open night and day; Lord, we are come to seek supplies, And drive our wants away. Scripture: Isaiah 55:1-2

My Trust is in my heav'nly Friend

Appears in 47 hymnals Topics: Spiritual Enemies overcome Lyrics: 1 My Trust is in my heav'nly Friend, My Hope in Thee, my GOD; Rise, and my helpless Life defend From those that seek my Blood. 2 With Insolence and Fury they My Soul in Pieces tear, As hungry Lions rend the Prey, When no Deliverer's near. 3 If I had e'er provok'd them first, Or once abus'd my Foe, Then let him tread my Life to Dust, And lay mine Honour low. 4 If there be Malice found in me, I know thy piercing Eyes; I should not dare appeal to Thee, Nor ask my GOD to rise. 5 Arise, my GOD, lift up thy Hand, Their Pride and Pow'r controul; Awake to Judgment, and command Deliv'rance for my Soul. Pause. 6 [Let Sinners, and their wicked Rage Be humbled to the Dust; Shall not the GOD of Truth engage To vindicate the Just? 7 He knows the Heart, he tries the Reigns, He will defend th' Upright: His sharpest Arrows he ordains Against the Sons of Spite. 8 For me their Malice digg'd a Pit, But there themselves are cast; My GOD makes all their Mischiefs light On their own Heads at last.] 9 That cruel persecuting Race Must feel his dreadful Sword: Awake my Soul, and praise the Grace And Justice of the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 7
