I Love the Lord, His Strength is Mine

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 13 hymnals Topics: Glory And Majesty Of God; Judgment; God of Christ our Refuge; Trust Lyrics: 1 I love the Lord, His strength is mine; He is my God, I trust His grace; My fortress high, my shield divine, My Savior and my hiding-place. 2 My prayer to God shall still be raised When troubles thick around me close; The Lord, most worthy to be praised, Will rescue me from all my foes. 3 When, floods of evil raging near, Down nigh to dearth my soul was brought, I cried to God in all my fear; He heard and great deliverance wrought. 4 He came: the earth's foundations quake, The hills are shaken from their place, Thick smoke and fire devouring break In anger dread before His face. 5 Descending through the bending skies, With gloom and darkness under Him, Forth through the storm Jehovah flies As on the wings of cherubim. 6 Thick darkness hides Him from the view, And swelling clouds His presence veil, Until His glorious light breaks through In lighting flash and glistening hail. 7 Jehovah's thunders fill the heaven, The dreadful voice of God Most High; With shafts of light the clouds are riven, His foes, dismayed, in terror fly. 8 The raging torrents overflow, And sweep the world's foundations bare, Because Thy blasts of anger blow, O Lord of earth and sea and air. 9 He took me from the whelming waves Of bitter hate and sore distress; The Lord, my stay and Helper, saves, Thought mighty foes around me press. 10 From direful straits He set me free, He saved the man of His delight; For good the Lord rewarded me, Because I kept His ways aright. Scripture: Psalm 18 Used With Tune: MENDON

Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Epiphany & Ministry of Christ; King, God/Christ as; Return of Christ; Christmas; Epiphany & Ministry of Christ; Judgment; King, God/Christ as; Return of Christ Lyrics: 1 Wherefore do the nations rage and the people vainly dream that in triumph they can wage war against the LORD supreme? His Anointed they deride, and the rulers, plotting, say, "Their dominion be defied, let us cast their bonds away." 2 But the Lord will scorn them all; calm, he sits enthroned on high. Soon his wrath will on them fall; angered, he will then reply, "Yet according to my will I have set my King to reign, and on Zion's holy hill my Anointed I maintain." 3 My LORD speaks, "You are my Son; yes, I have begotten you. I will give you every one of the nations as your due. From your rule, now let them learn: break them with an iron rod, dash them like a potter's urn, crush those enemies of God." 4 Therefore, rulers, kings, come near, listen to God's holy word. Come with reverence, come with fear. Kiss the Son and serve the LORD, lest his anger quickly flame and you perish in your way. All are blest who trust in him; yes, supremely blest are they. Scripture: Psalm 2 Used With Tune: MONSEY CHAPEL Text Sources: Psalter, 1912, alt.
