The Lord's my Light and saving Health

Hymnal: NVPD1752 #44 (1752) Lyrics: 1. The Lord's my Light, and saving Health; Why should I be dismay'd? The Lord supports my Life; of whom Then should I be afraid 2. When my oppressing spiteful Foes, Came on with horrid Frown, Voraciously to eat my Flesh, They stumbled, and fell down. 3. Tho' Hosts against me should encamp, Fearless I would abide; Should raging War against me rise, In this I would confide. 4. My Heart's Desire and constant Care, Is in God's House to dwell; That there I may his Beauty see, And know his holy Will. 5. In Times of Trouble, he will me, In his Pavilion, hide; I safe shall, in his secret Tent, As on a Rock, abide. 6. Now shall the Lord, o'er all my Foes, My Head, in Triumph, raise: And I'll, with Shouts, my Off'rings bring, I'll sing, and sound, his Praise. Second Part 7. O Lord, when with my Voice I cry, My fervent Pray'r receive; Have Mercy also upon me, And speedy Answer give. 8. Convinced this is thy just Command, "Seek ye my Face; my meek, And grateful Heart, with Joy replies, "Thy Face, Lord, I will seek. 9. Hide not thy Face, nor drive from Thee, Thy Servant, with thy Rod; Thou hast me help'd, now leave me not, O my Salvation's God. 10. Tho' both my Parents me forsake, The Lord will me protect. 11. Lord, teach, and lead, me in right Paths, For th' envious me inspect. 12. O, do not, to the raging Lusts Of Foes, deliver me; False Witnesses have risen up, They breathe out Cruelty. 13. My Soul had fainted, had not I Firmly believ'd, to see Thy Goodness crown me, in the Land Of them that living be. 14. My Soul, upon the Lord still wait, Take Courage from his Word; Thy Heart he'll strengthen with his Grace; Wait thou upon the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 27 Languages: English

My Supplication's Voice, Lord, hear, When I my Griefs, with Weeping, tell; When I lift up my Hands, in Pray'r, Toward thine holy Oracle. 3. O, let me never have my Part, With wicked Men, whose Works are vile; While Mischief rages in their Heart, They others, with fair Words, beguile. 4. Give them according to their Deeds, Strictly their bad Intents survey; The Work, which from their Hands proceeds, Retort, and their Deserts repay, 5. Since they the Works of God do slight, And Wonders of his Hand disdain; Them, with Destruction he'll requite, And never build them up again. 6. The Lord be bless'd; for he did yield A gracious Answer, when I crav'd. 7. The Lord's my Strength & guarding Shield; In him I trusted, and am sav'd: Therefore my Heart with Joy abounds. And Songs of Praise I'll to him sing, 8. The Lord's his Peoples Strength; & crowns, With Safety, his anointed King. 9. Save, Lord, thy Church, and them encrease, Thine Heritage, with Favour, bless; With Plenty feed them, grant them Peace, Still may they triumph with Success. Common Meetre 9. Save, Lord, thy People, greatly bless Thine own Inheritance; Them rule, and feed, and o'er their Foes, Them evermore advance. As 148th Meetre 9. O Lord, in Mercy, save The People that are thine, Thy Heritage let have The Blessing that's divine: And all their Store In Season send, and them defend, Till Time's no more.

The Lord sits sov'rain o'er the Floods; And reigns forever King. 11 . The Lord will give his People Strength; Them blessed Peace will bring. Scripture: Psalm 29 Languages: English

O Lord, have Mercy upon me, My Trouble on me preys; Mine Eyes consume, my Spirits fail, My Strength with Grief decays. 10. My Life is spent with Grief, my Years Consume in Sighs, and Groans; My Sins have rob'd me of my Strength, And wasted all my Bones. 11. By all my Foes, and Neighbours too, I in Reproach was had; I was a Terror to my Friends, When I drew near, they fled, 12. I am forgot, like one that's dead, Whose Name, and Memory's lost; Like earthen Vessels that are broke, Away, as useless, tost. 13. Their many Slanders I have heard; Just Fears about me spread, While they took Counsel, and devis'd, My guiltless Blood to shed. 14. I said, thou art my God, my Trust, "I in Thee, Lord repose; 15.

Silence their false reviling Tongues, Which grievous Slanders vent; In Arrogance, and high Contempt, Against the Innocent. Third Part 19. How wondrous great's thy Goodness Lord, Reserved for the Just; Which thou hast wrought, before the World, For all in Thee, who trust. 20. Thou in thy Presence shalt them skreen, From all the Sons of Pride; And cover'd from the Strife of Tongues In thy Pavilion hide. 2I. Forever blessed be the Lord, For wondrous Kindness shown; When threatening Dangers me enclos'd, Within a fenced Town. 22. For then in Hast, I rashly said, "I'm banish'd from thine Eyes; Yet thou hast heard my groaning Voice, And answered all my Cries. 23. O love the Lord, all ye his Saints, Who doth the Faithful guard; But on proud Doers justly heaps A plentifull Reward. 24. Then let your Courage firm remain, In his ne'er failing Word; Confirm your Hearts, all ye whose Hope Is fixed on the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 31 Languages: English

They that encrease in Wickedness, Their Sorrows greatly shall abound; But him that on the Lord relies Unnumber'd Mercies shall surround. 11. Let them be glad, in God rejoice, Who, in his Laws, their Life employ; Let all, who are upright in Heart, With sacred Triumph shout for Joy. Scripture: Psalm 32 Languages: English
