Shall not he hear, who formed the ear, and judge, who reigneth, God Most High? 4 The Lord will judge in righteousness, from him all truth and knowledge flow; the foolish thoughts of wicked men, how vain they are the Lord doth know. 5 That man is blest whom thou, O Lord, with chast'ning hand dost teach thy will, for in the day when sinners fall, that man in peace abideth still. 6 Unless the Lord had been my help, my life had quickly passed away; but when my foot had almost slipped, O Lord, thy mercy was my stay.

Thine I am, O spotless Lamb! I will suffer naught to hide Thee, Ask for naught beside Thee. 2 In Thine arms I rest me, Foes who would molest me Cannot reach me here; Though the earth be shaking, Every heart be quaking, Jesus calms my fear; Sin and hell, in conflict fell, With their heaviest storms assail me,-- Jesus will not fail me. 3 Hence, all fear and sadness! For the Lord of gladness, Jesus, enters in; Those who love the Father, Though the storms may gather, Still have peace within; Yea, whate'er I here must bear, Still art Thou my purest pleasure, Jesus, priceless treasure!

Pause. 5 'Twas in my haste, my spirit said, "I must despair and die, I am cut off before thine eyes;" But thou hast heard my cry. 6 Thy goodness how divinely free!

Salvation shall be all my song; And all my powers shall join to bless The Lord my strength and righteousness. Scripture: Psalm 51
