The Lord our God builds up His Church, He seeks her wand'ring sons; He binds their wounds and gently leads, The brokenhearted ones. 2 Our Lord is great, He calls by name And counts the stars of night; His wisdom is unsearchable, And wondrous is His might. The Lord upholds the poor and meek, He brings the wicked low; Sing praise to Him and give Him thanks And all His goodness show. 3 No human might, no earthly pride Delights the Lord above; In those who fear Him He delights, In those that trust His love. O Zion, praise the Lord thy God, His wondrous love confess; He is thy glory and thy strength, He will thy children bless. Scripture: Psalm 147 Used With Tune: MINERVA

Love to Enemies; or, the Love of Christ to Sinners typified in David

Appears in 52 hymnals Topics: Love of Christ o Sinners; Love of Christ o Sinners 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
