Lord, How My Numerous Foes Increase

Author: William Goode, 1762-1816 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, how my numerous foes increase, Excite my fears, disturb my peace! The powers of hell against me rise, And "God," they cry, "His help denies." 2 But Thou, my glory and my shield, My God, Thy powerful aid shalt yield; On Thee my steadfast hopes repose, To lift my head o’er all my foes. 3 To God I cried―my evening prayer Humbly implored Jehovah’s care; He vowed my wishes to fulfill, And heard me from His holy hill. 4 Then, with His guardian mercy blest, I laid my weary frame to rest; Sweet slumbers closed my peaceful eyes, Nor foes molest, nor fears surprise. 5 Again the shades of darkness flee, I wake, sustained, my God, by Thee; Thy guardian care renews my days, And claims my morning song of praise. 6 Now shall my heart its fears disclaim, I trust in faith Jehovah’s name; Though round my soul ten thousand rage, The Lord shall in my cause engage. 7 Rise, O my Savior, rise and spread, Thy shield, the shelter round my head; Thy cross the serpent’s wrath hath broke, And Satan falls beneath Thy stroke. 8 Salvation to the Lord belongs, His victory claims my highest songs; His blessing all His saints shall share, Then let His saints His praise declare.

Jesu, thou joy of loving hearts

Author: Ray Palmer, 1808-1887 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 576 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesu, thou joy of loving hearts, thou fount of life, thou light of men; from the best bliss that earth imparts we turn unfilled to thee again. 2 Thy truth unchanged hath ever stood; thou savest those that on thee call; to them that seek thee thou art good, to them that find thee, all in all. 3 We taste thee, O thou living bread, and long to feast upon thee still; we drink of thee, the fountain-head, and thirst our souls from thee to fill. 4 Our restless spirits yearn for thee, where'er our changeful lot is cast, glad when thy gracious smile we see, blest when our faith can hold thee fast. 5 O Jesu, ever with us stay; make all our moments calm and bright; chase the dark night of sin away; shed o'er the world thy holy light.
