Support and Counsel from God without Merit

Appears in 25 hymnals Topics: Good Works profit Man, not God; Good Works profit Man, not God First Line: Save me, O Lord, from every foe Lyrics: 1 Save me, O Lord, from every foe; In thee my trust I place, Though all the good that I can do Can ne'er deserve thy grace; 2 Yet if my God prolong my breath, The saints may still rejoice, The saints, the glory of the earth, The people of my choice. 3 Let heathens to their idols haste, And worship wood or stone; But my delightful lot is cast Where the true God is known. 4 His hand provides my constant food, He fills my daily cup; Much am I pleas'd with present good, But more rejoice in hope. 5 God is my portion and my joy; His counsels are my light: He gives me sweet advice by day, And gentle hints by night. 6 My soul would all her thoughts approve To his all-seeing eye; Not death nor hell my hope shall move While such a friend is nigh. Scripture: Psalm 16:1-8

The Blessings of the Pious and Charitable

Appears in 68 hymnals Topics: Good Works; Good Works First Line: Thrice happy man who fears the Lord Lyrics: 1 Thrice happy man who fears the Lord, Loves his commands, and trusts his word; Honour and peace his days attend, And blessings to his seed descend. 2 Compassion dwells upon his mind, To works of mercy still inclin'd: He lends the poor some present aid, Or gives them, not to be repaid. 3 When times grow dark, and tidings spread That fill his neighbours round with dread, His heart is arm'd against the fear, For God with all his power is there. 4 His spirit fix'd upon the Lord Draws heavenly courage from his word; Amidst the darkness light shall rise, To cheer his heart and bless his eyes. 5 He hath dispers'd his alms abroad, His works are still before his God; His name on earth shall long remain, While envious sinners rage in vain. Scripture: Psalm 112

Scripture: Psalm 112

Yet, though despised and gory, I joy to call Thee mine! 2 What Thou, my Lord, hast suffered Was all for sinners' gain; Mine, mine was the transgression, But Thine the deadly pain. Lo, here I fall, my Savior! 'Tis I deserve Thy place; Look on me with Thy favor, Vouchsafe to me Thy grace. 3 The joy can ne'er be spoken, Above all joys beside, When in Thy body broken I thus with safety hide. My Lord of life, desiring Thy glory now to see, Beside the cross expiring, I'd breathe my soul to Thee. 4 What language shall I borrow, To thank Thee, dearest Friend, For this Thy dying sorrow, Thy pity without end? Oh, make me Thine forever; And should I fainting be, Lord, let me never, never Outlive my love to Thee. Scripture: Mark 15:17-18 Used With Tune: PASSION CHORALE
