According to my righteousness

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 18:20-45 Lyrics: 20 According to my righteousness he did me recompense; he me repaid according to my hands’ pure innocence. 21 For I the Lord’s ways kept, nor from my God turned wickedly. 22 His judgments were before me, I his laws put not from me. 23 Sincere before him was my heart, upright with him was I; and watchfully I kept myself from mine iniquity. 24 According to my righteousness the Lord did me requite; after the cleanness of my hands appearing in his sight. 25 Thou to the gracious showest grace, to just men just thou art; 26 pure to the pure, but froward still to men of froward heart. 27 For thou wilt the afflicted save in grief that low do lie; but wilt bring down the countenance of those whose looks are high. 28 For thou thyself wilt light my lamp, that it shall shine full bright: The Lord my God will also make my darkness to be light. 29 By thee through troops of men I break, and them discomfit all; and, by my God assisting me, I overleap a wall. 30 As for God, perfect is his way, Jehovah's word is tried; he is a buckler to all those who do in him confide. 31 Who but the Lord is God? but he who is a rock and stay? 32 ’Tis God that girdeth me with strength, and perfect makes my way. 33 He made my feet swift as the hinds', on my heights made me stand; 34 my hands he taught to war, my arms a bow of brass did bend. 35 The shield of thy salvation thou upon me didst bestow: thy right hand held me up, and great thy kindness made me grow. 36 And in my way my steps thou hast enlarged under me, that I go safely, and my feet are kept from sliding free. 37 Mine enemies I did pursue, and them did overtake; nor did I turn again till I an end of them did make. 38 I wounded them, they could not rise; they at my feet did fall. 39 Thou girdedst me with strength for war; my foes thou brought’st down all: 40 and thou hast given to me the necks of all mine enemies, that I might utterly destroy those who against me rise. 41 They in their trouble cried for help, but there was none to save; yea, they did cry unto the Lord, but he no answer gave. 42 Then did I beat them small as dust before the wind that flies; and I did cast them out like dirt upon the street that lies. 43 Thou mad’st me free from people’s strife, the heathen’s head to be: a people whom I have not known shall service do to me. 44 At hearing they shall me obey, to me they shall submit. 45 Strangers for fear shall fade away who in their strongholds sit.

Gates of hell can never 'Gainst that Church prevail; We have Christ's own promise, That can never fail. [Chorus] 5 Onward, then, ye people! Join our happy throng, Blend with ours your voices In the triumph song; Glory, praise, and honor Unto Christ the King, This through countless ages Men and angels sing.

Continued help

Author: Joseph Addison Appears in 1,002 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 18:35 First Line: When all thy mercies, O my God! Lyrics: 1 When all thy mercies, O my God! My rising soul surveys, Transported with the view, I'm lost In wonder, love, and praise. 2 Unnumbered comforts, to my soul, Thy tender care bestowed, Before my infant heart conceived From whom those comforts flowed. 3 When, in the slippery paths of youth, With heedless steps, I ran, Thine arm, unseen, conveyed me safe, And led me up to man. 4 Ten thousand, thousand precious gifts My daily thanks employ; Nor is the least a cheerful heart, That tastes those gifts with joy. 5 Through every period of my life, Thy goodness I'll pursue; And after death, in distant worlds, The glorious theme renew. 6 Through all eternity, to thee A joyful song I'll raise: For, oh, eternity's too short To utter all thy praise!

God's Welcome

Author: Frederick W. Faber Appears in 902 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 18:35 First Line: There's a wideness in God's mercy Lyrics: 1 There's a wideness in God's mercy, Like the wideness of the sea; There's a kindness in his justice, Which is more than liberty. There is welcome for the sinner, And more graces for the good; There is mercy with the Saviour; There is healing in his blood. 2 There is no place where earth's sorrows Are more felt than up in heaven; There is no place where earth's failings Have such kindly judgment given. There is plentiful redemption In the blood that has been shed; There is joy for all the members In the sorrows of the Head. 3 For the love of God is broader Than the measure of man's mind; And the heart of the Eternal Is most wonderfully kind. If our love were but more simple, We should take him at his word; And our lives would be all sunshine In the sweetness of our Lord. Topics: Access to God; God: The Father Used With Tune: ERIE

Before him on the mountains shall peace the herald go, and righteousness in fountains from hill to valley flow. 4 Kings shall fall down before him, and gold and incense bring; all nations shall adore him, his praise all people sing. To him shall prayer unceasing and daily vows ascend, his kingdom still increasing, a kingdom without end. 5 O'er every foe victorious, he on his throne shall rest, from age to age more glorious, all-blessing and all-blest.
