Save me, O God, by thy great name

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Save me, O God, by thy great name, and judge me by thy strength: 2 hear thou my prayer, O God; give ear unto my words at length. 3 For they that strangers are to me do up against me rise, oppressors seek my soul, and God set not before their eyes. 4 Lo, God an helper is to me, and therefore I am bold; the Lord hath taken part with those that do my soul uphold. 5 Unto my foes their wickedness he surely shall repay: O for thy truth’s sake cut them off, and sweep them clean away. 6 I with a willing mind will give a sacrifice to thee; thy name, O Lord, because ‘tis good, shall be extolled by me. 7 Because he hath delivered me from all adversities; and its desire mine eye hath seen upon mine enemies.

To all men I have judgment done

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: AIN THE SIXTEENTH PART 121 To all men I have judgment done, performing justice right; then let me not be left unto my fierce oppressors’ might. 122 For good unto thy servant, Lord, thy servant’s surety be: from the oppression of the proud do thou deliver me. 123 Mine eyes do fail with looking long for thy salvation great, while for thy word of righteousness I earnestly do wait. 124 In mercy with thy servant deal, thy statutes to me show. 125 I am thy servant, wisdom give, that I thy laws may know. 126 ’Tis time to work, Lord; for they have made void thy law divine. 127 Therefore thy precepts more I love than gold, yea, gold most fine. 128 Concerning all things thy commands I therefore judge are right; and every false and wicked way is hateful in my sight. Scripture: Psalm 119:121-128 Used With Tune: ST JAMES

Lost In The Wildering Maze Of Sin

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Lost in the wildering maze of sin, And far from God astray, The wicked, guiled by Satan’s arts, Pursue their dreadful way. 2 From day to day they roam for rest, But all their search in vain; They seek the living ’mong the dead, And joy where sorrows reign. 3 Estranged from Thee, Thou God of peace! What peace can sinners find? What, but the phantom Satan gives To lure the captive mind? 4 The wicked, like the troubled sea, In restless motion rage, And with their conscience, and with Thee, Unceasing warfare wage. 5 Till Thou direct our feet aright, And guide us by Thy love, From Heaven and peace, and safety far, Our wandering footsteps rove. 6 When faith, uplifting meek her eye, Beholds Thine anger cease, And grace inspires the hope of Heaven— This, this alone is peace.

O Lord, be with us when we sail

Author: E. A. Dayman, 1807-1890 Appears in 58 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Lord, be with us when we sail Upon the lonely deep, Our guard when on the silent deck The midnight watch we keep. 2 We need not fear, though all around 'Mid rising winds we hear The multitude of waters surge; For Thou, O God, art near. 3 The calm, the breeze, the gale, the storm, That pass from land to land, All, all are Thine, are held within The hollow of Thine hand. 4 As when on blue Gennesaret Rose high the angry wave, And Thy disciples quailed in dread, One word of Thine could save; 5 So when the fiercer storms arise From man's unbridled will, Be Thou, Lord, present in our hearts, To whisper,"Peace, be still!" 6 Across this troubled tide of life Thyself our pilot be, Until we reach that better land, The land that knows no sea.

'Tis sweet to rest in lively hope

Author: Augustus M. Toplady Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 36 hymnals Lyrics: 1 'Tis sweet to rest in lively hope, That when my change shall come, Angels will hover round my bed, And waft my spirit home. 2 There shall my disimprisoned soul Behold Him and adore; Be with His likeness satisfied, And grieve and sin no more. 3 Shall see Him wear that very flesh, On which my guilt was lain; His Love intense, His merit fresh As though but newly slain. 4 Soon too my slumbering dust shall hear The trumpet's quickening sound; And, by my Saviour's power rebuilt, At His right hand be found. 5 These eyes shall see Him in that day, The Lord that died for me: And all my rising bones shall say, Lord, who is like to Thee! 6 If such the views which grace unfolds, Weak as it is below, What raptures must the Church above, In Jesus' presence know!
