Preserve me, Lord, in time of need

Hymnal: DWIP1790 #32a (1790) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Preserve me, Lord, in time of need, For succor to thy throne I flee; But have no merits there to plead; My goodness cannot reach to thee. 2 Oft have my heart and tongue confest, How empty and how poor I am; My praise can never make thee blest, Nor add new glories to thy name. 3 Yet, Lord, thy saints on earth may reap Some profit by the good we do; These are the company I keep, These are the choicest friends I know. 4 Let others choose the sons of mirth To give a relish to their wine: I love the men of heav'nly birth, Whose thoughts and language are divine. Scripture: Psalm 16 Languages: English

Hymnal: DWIP1790 #32b (1790) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 How fast their guilt and sorrows rise, Who haste to seek some idol god!

Thee will I love, O Lord, my strength

Hymnal: DWIP1790 #37 (1790) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Thee will I love, O Lord, my strength, My rock, my tower, my high defence, Thy mighty arm shall be my trust, For I have found salvation thence. 2 Death and the terrors of the grave; Stood round me with their dismal shade; While floods of high temptation rose, And made my sinking soul afraid. 3 I saw the op'ning gates of hell, With endless pains and sorrows there; Which none but they that feel can tell While I was hurried to despair. 4 In my distress I call'd 'my God,' When I could scarce believe him mine; He bow'd his ear to my complaint; Then did his grace appear divine. 5 [With speed he flew to my relief, As on a cherub’s wing he rode: Awful and bright as lightning shone The face of my deliv'rer God.] 6 [Temptations fled at his rebuke, The blast of his almighty breath: He sent salvation from on high, And drew me from the depths of death.] 7 Great were my fears, my foes were great, Much was their strength, and more their rage: But Christ, my Lord, is conqueror still, In all the wars that devils wage. 8 My song for ever shall record That terrible, that joyful hour; And give the glory to the Lord, Due to his mercy and his power. Scripture: Psalm 18:1-6 Languages: English

Lord, thou hast seen my soul sincere

What wars and strugglings in my breast! But thro' thy grace that reigns within, I guard against my darling sin. 4 That sin which close besets me still, That works and strives against my will; When shall thy spirit's sov'reign power Destroy it that it rise no more? 5 [With an impartial hand the Lord Deals out to mortals their reward; The kind and faithful souls shall find A God as faithful and as kind. 6 The just and pure shall ever say, Thou art more pure, more just than they; And men that love revenge shall know God hath an arm of vengeance too] Scripture: Psalm 18:20-26 Languages: English

The God of my salvation lives, The dark designs of hell are broke; Sweet is the peace my father gives. 4 Before the scoffers of the age, I will exalt my Father's name, Nor tremble at their mighty rage, But meet reproach, and bear the shame. 5 To David and his royal seed Thy grace for ever shall extend, Thy love to saints in Christ their head Knows not a limit nor an end.
