The Safety of Believers

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Heart Broken and Contrite First Line: God guards the good with watchful eyes Lyrics: 1 God guards the good with watchful eye, His ear attentive to their cry, Against the wicked sets His face, From earth their mem'ry to erase. 2 The righteous cry, Jehovah hears, And rescues them from all their fears; The Lord draws nigh to broken hearts, To contrite spirits help imparts. 3 Afflictions on the good must fall, But God will bring them safe thro' all; From harmful stroke He will defend, And sure and full deliv'rance send. 4 By evil are the evil slain, The hope of sinful men is fain; The wicked, who the righteous hate, Their condemnation shall be great. 5 The Lord redemption will provide For all who in His grace confide; From condemnation they are clear Who trust in Him with holy fear.

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 11 hymnals Topics: Contrition Lyrics: 1 Hark! through the courts of heaven Angelic voices sound: He that was dead now lives again; He that was lost is found. 2 God of unfailing grace, Send down Thy Spirit now; Oh, raise the lowly soul to hope, And make the lofty bow. 3 In countries far from home, On earthly husks who feed, Back to their Father's house, O Lord, Their wandering footsteps lead. 4 Then at each soul's return, The heavenly harp shall sound; He that was dead now lives gain; He that was lost is found.

In thy wrath and hot displeasure

Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Heart Contrite Lyrics: 1 In thy wrath and hot displeasure, Chasten not thy servant, Lord; Let thy mercy, without measure, Help and peace to me afford. 2 Heavy is my tribulation, Sore my punishment has been; Broken by thine indignation, I am troubled by my sin. 3 With my burden of transgression Heavy laden, overborne, Humbled low I make confession, For my folly now I mourn. 4 Weak and wounded, I implore thee; Lord, to me thy mercy show; All my pray'r is now before thee, All my trouble thou dost know. 5 Darkness gathers, foes assail me, But I answer not a word; All my friends desert and fail me, Only thou my cry hast heard. 6 Lord, in thee am I confiding; Thou wilt answer when I call, Lest my foes, the good deriding, Triumph in thy servant's fall. 7 Lord, my God, do not forsake me, Let me know that thou art near, Under thy protection take me, As my Saviour now appear. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 38 Used With Tune: ALICE Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912
