The Tender Mercies of God

Appears in 13 hymnals Topics: Comfort in Trials First Line: O my soul, bless thou Jehovah Lyrics: 1 O my soul, bless thou Jehovah, All within me, bless His Name; Bless Jehovah and forget not All His mercies to proclaim. He forgives all thy transgressions; Heals thy sicknesses and pains; He redeems thee from destruction, And His love thy life sustains. 2 He with tender mercies crowns thee, Satisfies thy full request, So that like the tireless eagle Thou with youth renewed art blessed. Righteous is the Lord in judgment Unto all that are oppressed; To His people He has ever Made His goodness manifest. 3 Yea, the Lord is full of mercy And compassion for distress, Slow to anger and abundant In His grace and tenderness. He will not be angry alway, Nor will He forever chide; Tho' we oft have sinned against Him Still His love and grace abide. 4 As the heav'ns are high above us, Great his love to us has proved; Far as east from west is distant, He has all our sins removed. As a father loves his children, Feeling pity for their woes, So the Lord to those who fear Him Mercy and compassion shows. Scripture: Psalm 103 Used With Tune: AUTUMN

God the Righteous Judge

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Comfort in Trials First Line: O Lord, Thou Judge of all the earth Lyrics: 1 O Lord, Thou Judge of all the earth, To Whom all vengeance doth belong, Arise and show Thy glory forth, Requite the proud, condemn the wrong. 2 How long, O Lord, in boastful pride Shall wicked men triumphant stand? How long shall they afflict Thy saints And devastate Thy chosen land? 3 The widow and the fatherless They slay, and helpless strangers smith; The faithful God they do not fear, They say the Lord will not requite. 4 Be wise, ye fools and brutish men; Shall not He see Who formed the eye? Shall not He hear Who formed the ear, And judge, Who reigneth, God Most High? 5 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. 6 That man is blest whom Thou, O Lord, With chastening hand dost teach Thy will, For in the day when sinners fall That man in peace abideth still. 7 The Lord will not cast off His own, Nor His inheritance forsake; Just judgment shall at length prevail, And upright hearts shall courage take. 8 Who will arise for my defense Against the wicked in the land? Against iniquity and wrong What man for me will valiant stand? 9 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. 10 Amid the doubts that fill my mind Thy comforts, Lord, bring joy to me; Can wickedness, though throned in might, Have fellowship, O Lord, with Thee? 11 The wicked, in their might arrayed, Against the righteous join their power, But to the Lord I flee for help, He is my refuge and my tower. 12 Our God, the refuge of His saints, Will fight against iniquity; Avenger of the innocent The Lord omnipotent will be. Scripture: Psalm 94 Used With Tune: LYTHAM

He will fulfill the heart's desire Of those that fear Him and obey; Their cry the Lord will surely hear, And He will save them when they pray. 3 His great salvation they shall know Who love the Lord's most holy Name; The wicked He will overthrow And put His enemies to shame.

Prayer for Deliverance

Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Comfort in Trials First Line: O God, be merciful Lyrics: 1 O God be merciful, Be merciful to me, For man, with constant hate, Would fain my ruin see. My many enemies Against me proudly fight; To overwhelm my soul They watch from morn to night. 2 What time I am afraid I put my trust in thee; In God I rest, and praise His word, so rich and free; In God I put my trust, I neither doubt nor fear, For man can never harm With God my helper near. 3 All day they wrest my words, Their tho'ts are full of hate; They meet, they lurk, they watch, As for my soul they wait; Shall they by wickedness Escape Thy judgment right? O God of righteousness, Destroy them in Thy might. 4 Thou knowest all my woes, O treasure Thou my tears; Are they not in thy book, Where all my life appears? My foes shall backward turn When i appeal to Thee, For man can never harm With God my helper near. 5 In God, the Lord, I rest, His word of grace I praise, His promise stands secure, Nor fear nor foe dismays; In God I put my trust, I neither doubt nor fear, For man can never harm With God my helper near. 6 Upon me are Thy voes, O God, in Whom I live; The sacrifice of praise To thee I now will give; For Thou hast saved from death, From falling kept me free, That in the light of life My walk may be with Thee.
