The Lord is just and merciful, And gracious to the meek; He saved me when I cried to Him Though I was poor and weak. 4. Return unto thy rest, my soul, No longer troubled be; The Lord sustains thee, and has dealt Most graciously with thee. 5. Before my Savior I will live, From death He saved my soul, My eyes from tears, my feet from falls, And he has made me whole. 6. In my affliction this I found That human help deceived, But ever faithful was the Lord In whom my soul believed.

Shout To The Lord, And Let Our Joys

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Shout to the Lord, and let our joys Throughout the nations run; Exulting skies, resound the noise Beyond the rising sun. 2 Thee, mighty God, our souls admire, To Thee glad voices sing, And join with the celestial choir To praise th’eternal King. 3 Thy power the whole creation rules, And on the starry skies Sits smiling at the weak designs Thine envious foes devise. 4 Thy scorn derides their feeble rage, And, with an awful frown, Flings vast confusion on their plots, And shakes their Babel down. 5 Their secret fires in caverns lay, And we the sacrifice; But gloomy caverns strove in vain To ’scape all-searching eyes. 6 Their dark designs were all revealed, Their treasons all betrayed: Praise to the God that broke the snare Their cursed hands had laid. 7 In vain the busy sons of hell Still new rebellions try, Their souls shall pine with envious rage, And vex away and die. 8 Almighty grace defends our land From their malicious power; So let us in united songs Almighty grace adore.

How came they to the blissful seats of everlasting day? 2 Lo, these are they from sufferings great who came to realms of light, and in the blood of Christ have washed those robes which shine so bright. 3 Now, with triumphal palms, they stand before the throne on high, and serve the God they love, amidst the glories of the sky. 4 His presence fills each heart with joy, tunes every mouth to sing: by day, by night, the sacred courts with glad hosannas ring. 5 Hunger and thirst are felt no more, nor sun with scorching ray: God is their sun, whose cheering beams diffuse eternal day. 6 The Lamb which dwells amidst the throne shall o'er them still preside, feed them with nourishment divine, and all their footsteps guide. 7 To pastures green he'll lead his flock where living streams appear; and God the Lord from every eye shall wipe off every tear.
