God of my mercy and my praise

Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #P.CIX (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Love to Enemies from the Example of Christ Lyrics: 1 God of my mercy and my praise, Thy glory is my song; Tho' sinners speak against thy grace With a blaspheming tongue. 2 When in the form of mortal man Thy Son on earth was found; With cruel slanders, false and vain, They compass'd him around. 3 Their mis'ries his compassion move, Their peace he still pursu'd; They render hatred for his love, And evil for his good. 4 Their malice rag'd without a cause, Yet with his dying breath He pray'd for murd'rers on his cross, And blest his foes in death. 5 Lord, shall thy bright example shine In vain before my eyes; Give me a soul akin to thine, To love my enemies. 6 The Lord shall on my side engage, And in my Saviour's name I shall defeat their pride and rage Who slander and condemn. Scripture: Psalm 109 Languages: English

The Moral Perfection of Deity imitated

Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #XXIV (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Love To our enemies First Line: Great Author of th' immortal mind! Lyrics: 1 Great Author of th' immortal mind! For noblest thoughts and views design'd; Make me ambitious to express The image of thy holiness. 2 While I thy boundless love admire, Grant me to catch the sacred fire; Thus shall my heavenly birth be known, And for thy child thou wilt me own. 3 Father, I see thy sun arise To cheer thy friends and enemies; And when thy rain from Heaven descends, Thy bounty both alike befriends. 4 Enlarge my soul with love like thine; My moral powers by grace refine; So shall I feel another's woe, And cheerful feed an hungry foe. 5 I hope for pardon through thy Son, For all the crimes which I have done: O, may the grace that pardons me Constrain me to forgive like thee! Scripture: Matthew 5:48 Languages: English

How many, Lord, there be

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #III (1767) Topics: Prayers When surrounded by Enemies Lyrics: 1 How many, Lord, there be, that strive to trouble me, My Peace of Mind destroying! And as their Numbers grow so does their Hatred too, In my Afflictions joying. They do my Soul upbraid, thought GOD himself's my Aid, Yet know they not to fear him; Insultingly they cry, let him on GOD rely, The LORD now more will hear him. 3 But thou art my Defence, my Hope and Confidence, In thee alone are placed; My glory thou shalt raise, and to thy endless Praise, My Foes shall be disgraced. When like Distress was nigh, my sad and mournful Cry, Was to the LORD addressed; And from his holy Hill, he did my Wish fulfill, And all my Wrongs redressed. 3 In thy Protection blest, secure I take my Rest, No kind of Danger fearing; When Morning gilds the Skies, refresh'd again I rise, Sweet Sleep my Spirit cheering. Not all my Foes combin'd, disturb my Peace of Mind, Their Rage shall ne'er confound me. To thee I lift my Voice, and in thy Strength rejoice, Tho' thousands should surround me. 4 Arise, O GOD, arise! Disperse those Enemies, That are my Life pursuing; Let thy Almighty Hand, their utmost Pow'r withstand, And guard me safe from Ruin. To GOD, who is my Song, Salvation doth belong; And they shall be defended; Who hat lift up on high, their supplicating Cry, And on the LORD depended. Scripture: Psalm 3 Languages: English Tune Title: [How many, Lord, there be]

LORD, hear my Pray'r, and to my Cry

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #CXLIII (1767) Topics: Prayers When surrounded by Enemies; Prophecies Prophetical Curses against the Enemies and Persecutors of the Chruch Lyrics: 1 LORD, hear my Pray'r, and to my Cry Thy wonted Audience lend; In thy accustom'd Faith and Truth, A gracious Answer send, Nor to thy Justice bring Thy servant strictly to be try'd; For no frail mortal Man Can in thy Sight be justify'd, 2 The spiteful Foe pursues my Life, Whose Comforts all are fled; He drives me into Caves as dark As Mansions of the Dead. My Spirit is o'erwhelm'd, And therefore sinks within my Breast; My Heart grows desolate, With heavy Woes too much oppress'd. 3 I call to mind the Days of old, And Wonders thou hast wrought, My former Dangers and Escapes Employ my musing Thought. To thee my in humble Pray'r, My Hands I fervently stretch out; My Soul for Comfort thirsts, Like Land oppress'd with constant Drought. 4 Hear me with Speed, my Spirit fails, Thy Face no longer hide; Lest I become forlorn, like them That in the Grave reside. Thy Kindness let me hear, Whose Trust on thee alone depends; Teach me thy perfect Way, For still my Soul to thee ascends. 5 Do thou, O LORD, from all my Foes, Preserve, and set me free; A safe Retreat against their Rage, My Soul implores from thee. Thy righteous Will, O GOD, Instruct me ever to obey; Let thy good Spirit lead And keep my Soul in thy right Way. 6 Oh, for the sake of thy great Name, Revive my drooping Heart: For thy Truth's sake, to me distress'd, Thy promis'd Aid impart. In Pity to my Grief, Do thou reduce my Foes to shame; Slay them that vex my Soul, Devoted to thy holy Name. Scripture: Psalm 143 Languages: English Tune Title: [Lord, hear my Pray'r, and to my Cry]

For never was more Need; In my Defence do thou appear, O GOD, and come with Speed. On them let Shame return, Who to destroy my Soul combine; O let them blush and mourn, Defeated in their base Design. 2 Their Doom let Desolation be, Their Malice be repaid, Who mock'd my Confidence in thee, And me their Pastime made. While Those who seek thy Face, To joyful Triumphs shall be rais'd, And all who prize thy Grace, Shall sing with me, the LORD be prais'd. 5 Thus wretched tho' I am, and poor, The LORD of me takes Care; Thou GOD, who only can'st restore, To my Relief repair!

To thee, O LORD, my Cries ascend

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #CXLI (1767) Topics: Prayers When surrounded by Enemies; Prophecies Prophetical Curses against the Enemies and Persecutors of the Chruch Lyrics: 1 To thee, O LORD, my Cries ascend; Oh, hasten thou to my Relief, And with accustom'd Pity hear The mournful Accents of my Grief; And when I lift my Voice to thee, Do thou vouchsafe to comfort me. 2 Instead of Off'rings, let my Pray'r To Heav'n, like Morning-Incense rise; And let my lifted Hands supply The Place of Ev'ning Sacrifice. Let Prudence be my constant Guard, My Lips with wary Silence barr'd. 3 From wicked Men's Designs and Deeds, Do thou my Heart and Hands restrain; Nor let me in the Booty share Of their most base unrighteous Gain; Lest I, like them, should go astray, And leave thy pure and perfect Way. 4 Let upright Men reprove my Faults, And I shall still believe them kind; Like Balm that heals a wounded Head, Their Admonitions I shall find; When they're reduc'd to like Distress, My Pray'r for them I will address. 5 When skulking in Engedi's Rock, I to their haughty Chiefs appeal; If one reproachful Word I spoke, Although I had Pow'r to kill; And yet our scatter'd Ruins lie, Like Chips that from the Axes fly. 6 But gracious LORD, to thee I will Direct my supplicating Eyes; O! leave not destitute my Soul, Whose Trust on thee alone relies. Let them in Snares entrapped be, Which their own Hands design'd for me. Scripture: Psalm 141 Languages: English Tune Title: [To thee, O Lord, my Cries ascend]

Then shall God’s mercy from on high shine forth and never cease to drive away the gloom of death and lead us into peace. Scripture: Luke 1:68-79 Languages: English Tune Title: FOREST GREEN
