Prayer for Protection

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Prayer For Deliverance from Enemies First Line: Hear, Lord, the voice of my complaint Lyrics: 1 Hear Lord, the voice of my complaint, Preserve my life from fear, Hide me from plotting enemies And evil crowding near. The workers of iniquity Their deadly shafts prepare; They aim at me their treach'rous words; O save me from their snare. 2 The wicked in their base designs Grow arrogant and bold; Conspiring secretly they think That God will not behold; They search out more iniquity, Their tho'ts and plans are deep, But God will smite, for He is near His saints to guard and keep. 3 The wicked, by their sins o'ercome, Shall soon be bro't to shame; The hand of God shall yet appear, And all shall fear His Name. The just shall triumph in the Lord, Their trust shall be secure, And endless glory then shall crown The upright and the pure. Scripture: Psalm 64 Used With Tune: MONORA

Shepherds! rejoice, lift up your eyes

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 163 hymnals Topics: Spiritual enemies overcome; Enemies overcome; Victory over temporal enemies Lyrics: "Shepherds, rejoice! lift up your eyes, And send your fears away; News from the regions of the skies, Salvation's born to-day. "Jesus, the God whom angels fear, Comes down to dwell with you; Today he makes his entrance here, But not as monarchs do. "No gold nor purple swaddling bands. Nor royal shining things; A manger for his Cradle stands, And holds the King of kings. "Go, shepherds, where the infant lies, And see his humble throne With tears of joy in all your eyes, Go, shepherds, kiss the Son." Thus Gabriel sang, and straight around The heav'nly armies throng; They tune their harps to lofty sound, And thus conclude the song: "Glory to God that reigns above! Let peace surround the earth! Mortals shall know their Maker's love, At their Redeemer's birth." Lord, and shall angels have their songs, And men no tunes to raise? O may we lose our useless tongues When they forget to praise. Glory to God that reigns above, That pitied us forlorn; We join to sing our Maker's love, For there's a Savior born. Scripture: Luke 2:10

Covenant Faithfulness

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Enemies Restrained First Line: In vision to His saints God spake Lyrics: 1 In vision to His saints God spake; From out the people one I take, A mighty leader, true and brave, Ordained, exalted, strong to save, Ordained, exalted, strong to save. 2 My chosen servant I appoint, With holy oil his head anoint; My hand with him shall still remain, My arm his strength shall well sustain, My arm his strength shall well sustain. 3 No enemy shall him affright, His adversaries I will smite, My faithfulness to him will prove, And never more My grace remove, And never more My grace remove. 4 Yea, he shall triumph in My Name, And great shall be his pow'r and fame, From sea to sea his mighty hand Shall hold dominion o'er the land, Shall hold dominion o'er the land. 5 Thou art my Father, he shall cry, My God, my rock of refuge high; My first-born son shall he be owned, Above the kings of earth enthroned, Above the kings of earth enthroned. 6 For him My mercy shall endure, My covenant made with him is sure, His throne and race I will maintain Forever, while the heavens remain, Forever, while the heavens remain. 7 Should sons of his My laws forsake, My just commands and statues break, Then, though My rod their sins reprove, My mercy I will not remove, My mercy I will not remove. 8 Though they be chastened sore and tried, My faithfulness shall yet abide; My plighted word I will not break, Nor change the promise that I spake, Nor change the promise that I spake. 9 My oath is steadfast, ever sure, My servant's race shall still endure; His throne forever firm shall stay When sun and moon have passed away, When sun and moon have passed away. 10 On Thy anointed wrath is poured As if Thy covenant were abhorred; Thou hast profaned his kingly crown, His matchless strength is broken down, His matchless strength is broken down. 11 He is reproached and spoiled of all, His enemies upon him fall; His beauty is consumed away, Forgotten is his kingly sway, Forgotten is his kingly sway. 12 Cut off in youth, his sacred name Is covered now with deepest shame; How long, O Lord, shall wrath abide? Thy face forever wilt Thou hide? Thy face forever wilt Thou hide? 13 Think on my life; O Lord, take thought; Hast Thou created man for nought? What man that lives has power to save His soul from death, and from the grave? His soul from death, and from the grave? 14 Where are Thy mercies which of old Where in Thy promises foretold? Remember, Lord, the bitter shame Heaped on Thy own anointed's name, Heaped on Thy own anointed's name. 15 Blest be the Lord for evermore, Whose promise stands from days of yore. His word is faithful now as then; Blest be His Name. Amen. Amen. Blest be His Name, Amen. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 89 Used With Tune: ROTHWELL

Speak, O ye Judges of the Earth

Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Prophecies Prophetical Curses against the Enemies and Persecutors of the Chruch Lyrics: 1 Speak, O ye Judges of the Earth, If just and right your Sentence be; Or must not Innocence at last, Appeal to Heav'n from your Decree? Your wicked Hearts and Judgements are, By Malice most unjustly sway'd; Your griping Hands, by weighty Bribes, Are still to Violence betray'd. 2 To Virtue Strangers from the Womb, Their Infant Steps went always wrong; Thy prattled Slander, and in Lies Employ'd at first their infant Tongue. No Serpent, of parch'd Afric's Breed, Did ever ranker Poison bear; The drowsy Adder will as soon, Unlock to Truth his sullen Ear. 3 Unmov'd by good Advice, and deaf As stupid Adders they remain, From whom the skillful Charmer's Voice, Can by no Means Attention gain. Defeat, O GOD, their threat'ning Rage, And timely break their growing Pow'r: Do thou disarm these Lions' Jaws, Before they're practis'd to devour. 4 Let now their Insolence, at Height, Like ebbing Tides, be quickly spent; Their shiver'd Darts deceive their Aim, When they their warlike Bows have bent. Like Snails, let them dissolve to Slime, Let them like hasty Births become; Unworthy to behold the Sun, Let them be dead within the Womb. 5 E'er Thorns can make the Flesh-pot boil, Tempestuous Wrath shall quickly come From GOD, and snatch them hence alive, To their eternal dismal Doom. The Righteous shall rejoice to see, Their daring Crimes such Vengeance meet, And Saints in Persecutors' Blood Shall safely dip their harmless Feet. 6 Transgressors then with Grief shall see, The Righteous due Rewards obtain, And own a GOD, whose Justice will, Or soon, or late the Earth arraign. Scripture: Psalm 58 Used With Tune: [Speak, O ye Judges of the Earth]
