Preservation by Day and Night

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #CXXIb (1785) First Line: To heaven I lift my waiting eyes Lyrics: 1 To heaven I lift my waiting eyes, There all my hopes are laid: The Lord that built the earth and skies Is my perpetual aid. 2 Their steadfast feet shall never fall, Whom he designs to keep; His ear attends the softest call; His eyes can never sleep. 3 He will sustain our weakest powers With his almighty arm, And watch our most unguarded hours Against surprising harm. 4 Israel rejoice, and rest secure, Thy keeper is the Lord; His wakeful eyes employ his power For thine eternal guard. 5 Nor scorching sun, nor sickly moon Shall have his leave to smite; He shields thy head from burning noon, From blasting damps at night. 6 He guards thy soul, he keeps thy breath, Where thickest dangers come: Go and return, secure from death, Till GOD commands thee home. Scripture: Psalm 121 Languages: English

God our Preserver

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #CXXIc (1785) First Line: Upward I lift mine Eyes Lyrics: 1 Upward I lift mine Eyes, From GOD is all my aid; The GOD that built the skies, And earth and nature made; GOD is the tower To which I fly; His grace is nigh In every hour. 2 My feet shall never slide, And fall in fatal snares, Since GOD my guard and guide, Defends me from my fears, Those wakeful eyes That never sleep, Shall Israel keep, When dangers rise. 3 No burning heats by day, Nor blasts of evening air, Shall take my health away, If God be with me there: Thou art my sun, And thou my shade, To guard my head By night or noon. 4 Hast thou not given thy word To save my soul from death? And I can trust my Lord To keep my mortal breath; I'll go and come, Nor fear to die, Till from on high Thou call me home. Scripture: Psalm 121 Languages: English

With holy gifts and heavenly grace Be her attendants blest! 6 My soul shall pray for Zion still, While life or breath remains; There my best friends, my kindred dwell, There GOD my Saviour reigns.

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #CXXIII (1785) First Line: O thou whose grace and justice reign Lyrics: 1 O thou whose grace and justice reign Enthron'd above the skies, To thee our hearts would tell their pain, To thee we lift our eyes. 2 As servants watch their master's hand, And fear the angry stroke! Or maids before their mistress stand, And wait a peaceful look; 3 So for our sins we justly feel Thy discipline, O GOD; Yet wait the gracious moment still, Till thou remove thy rod. 4 Those that in wealth and pleasure live, Our daily groans deride, And thy delays of mercy give Fresh courage to their pride. 5 Our foes insult us, but our hope In thy compassion lies; This thought shall bear our spirits up, That GOD will not despise. Scripture: Psalm 123 Languages: English

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #CXXIV (1785) First Line: Had not the God of truth and love Lyrics: 1 Had not the GOD of truth and love, When hosts against us rose, Display'd his vengeance from above, And crush'd the conquering foes. 2 Their armies like a raging flood Had swept the guardless land, Destroy'd on earth his blest abode, And whelm'd our feeble band. 3 But safe beneath his spreading shield His sons securely rest, Defy the dangers of the field, And bare the fearless breast. 4 And now our souls shall bless the Lord, Who broke the deadly snare; Who sav'd us from the murdering sword, And made our lives his care. 5 Our help is in Jehovah's name, Who form'd the heavens above; He that supports their wondrous frame Can guard his church by love.

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #CXXVa (1785) First Line: Unshaken as the sacred hill Lyrics: 1 Unshaken as the sacred hill, And firm as mountains stand, Firm as a rock the soul shall rest, That trusts th' almighty hand. 2 Not walls nor hills could guard so well Old Salem's happy ground, As those eternal arms of love That every saint surround. 3 While tyrants are a smarting scourge To drive them near to GOD, Divine compassion will assuage The fury of the rod. 4 Deal gently, Lord, with souls sincere, And lead them safely on To the bright gates of paradise, Where Christ their Lord is gone. 5 But if we trace those crooked ways That the old serpent drew, The wrath that drove him first to hell, Shall smite his followers too. Scripture: Psalm 125 Languages: English

Scripture: Psalm 125 Languages: English
