Love to Enemies; or, The Love of Christ to Sinners, typified in David
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #64 (1740) Topics: Persecuted Saints, their Prayer and Faith First Line: Behold the Love, the generous Love Lyrics: 1 Behold the Love, the generous Love,
That holy David shows;
Hark, how his sounding Bowels move
To his afflicted Foes!
2 When they are sick, his Soul complains,
And seems to feel the Smart;
The Spirit of the Gospel reigns,
And melts his pious Heart.
3 How did his flowing Tears condole
As for a Brother dead!
And Fasting mortify'd his Soul,
While for their Life he pray'd.
4 They groan'd, and curs'd him on their Bed,
Yet still he pleads and mourns;
And double Blessings on his Head
The righteous GOD returns.
5 O glorious Type of heav'nly Grace!
Thus Christ the Lord appears;
While Sinners curse, the Saviour prays,
And pities them with Tears.
6 He the true David, Isr'el's King,
Blest and belov'd of GOD,
To save us Rebels dead in Sin,
Paid his own dearest Blood. Scripture: Psalm 35:12-14 Languages: English
Love to Enemies; or, The Love of Christ to Sinners, typified in David
Psalm 7
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.14 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Appeal to God against persecutors; God his care of saints; Persecution victory over, and deliverance from it; Persecutors punished First Line: My trust is in my heav'nly Friend Lyrics:
My trust is in my heav'nly Friend,
My hope in thee, my God;
Rise, and my helpless life defend
From those that seek my blood.
With insolence and fury they
My soul in pieces tear,
As hungry lions rend the prey,
When no deliverer's near.
If I had e'er provoked them first,
Or once abused my foe,
Then let him tread my life to dust,
And lay mine honor low.
If there be malice found in me,
I know thy piercing eyes;
I should not dare appeal to thee,
Nor ask my God to rise.
Arise, my God, lift up thy hand,
Their pride and power control;
Awake to judgment, and command
Deliverance for my soul.
[Let sinners, and their wicked rage,
Be humbled to the dust;
Shall not the God of truth engage
To vindicate the just?
He knows the heart, he tries the reins,
He will defend th' upright
His sharpest arrows he ordains
Against the sons of spite.
For me their malice digged a pit,
But there themselves are cast;
My God makes all their mischief light
On their own heads at last.]
That cruel, persecuting race
Must feel his dreadful sword:
Awake, my soul, and praise the grace
And justice of the Lord.

O God, to whom revenge belongs,
"Proclaim thy wrath aloud;
Let sovereign power redress our wrongs,
Let justice smite the proud.
They say, "The Lord nor sees nor hears:"
When will the fools be wise?
Can he be deaf who formed their ears?
Or blind, who made their eyes?
He knows their impious thoughts are vain,
And they shall feel his power;
His wrath shall pierce their souls with pain
In some surprising hour.
But if thy saints deserve rebuke,
Thou hast a gentler rod;
Thy providences and thy book
Shall make them know their God.
Blest is the man thy hands chastise,
And to his duty draw;
Thy scourges make thy children wise
When they forget thy law.
But God will ne'er cast off his saints,
Nor his own promise break
He pardons his inheritance
For their Redeemer's sake.

Who will arise and plead my right
Against my num'rous foes,
While earth and hell their force unite,
And all my hopes oppose?
Had not the Lord, my rock, my help,
Sustained my fainting head,
My life had now in silence dwelt,
My soul amongst the dead.
"Alas! my sliding feet!" I cried;
Thy promise was my prop;
Thy grace stood constant by my side,
Thy Spirit bore me up.
While multitudes of mournful thoughts
Within my bosom roll,
Thy boundless love forgives my faults,
Thy comforts cheer my soul.
Powers of iniquity may rise,
And frame pernicious laws;
But God my refuge rules the skies,
He will defend my cause.
Let malice vent her rage aloud,
Let bold blasphemers scoff;
The Lord our God shall judge the proud
And cut the sinners off.

Unmoved my soul remains.

Who scorn Thy righteous laws.

In Him His saints are blest;

Upon Thy people rest.
