O Jesu, make their darkness light And save me through the coming night! 3 The toils of day are over: I raise the hymn to Thee, And ask that free from peril The hours of fear may be: O Jesu, keep me in Thy sight, And guard me through the coming night! 4 Lighten mine eyes, O Saviour, Or sleep in death shall I, And he, my wakeful tempter, Triumphantly shall cry "He could not make their darkness light, Nor guard them through the hours of night." 5 Be Thou my soul's preserver, O God! for Thou dost know How many are the perils Through which I have to go. Lover of men, oh, hear my call, And guard and save me from them all! Amen. Used With Tune: ST. ANATOLIUS NO. 1

O Jehovah, hear my words

Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 24 hymnals Topics: Supplication For Protection Lyrics: 1 O Jehovah, hear my words, To my thoughts attentive be; Hear my cry, my King, my God, I will make my prayer to thee. With the morning light, O Lord, Thou shalt hear my voice arise, And expectant I will bring Prayer as morning sacrifice. 2 Thou, Jehovah, art a God Who delightest not in sin; Evil shall not dwell with thee, Nor the proud thy favor win. Evil doers thou dost hate, Lying tongues thou wilt defeat; God abhors the man who loves Violence and base deceit. 3 In the fulness of thy grace To thy house I will repair; Bowing toward thy holy place, In thy fear to worship there. Lead me in thy righteousness, Let my foes assail in vain; Lest my feet be turned aside, Make thy way before me plain. 4 False and faithless are my foes, In their mouth no truth is found; Deadly are the words they speak, All their thoughts with sin abound. Bring, O God, their plans to naught, Hold them guilty in thy sight, For against thee and thy law They have set themselves to fight. 5 O let all that trust thy care Ever glad and joyful be; Let them joy who love thy Name, Safely guarded, Lord, by thee. For a blessing from thy store To the righteous thou wilt yield; Thou wilt compass him about With thy favor as a shield. Amen.

On the Rock of ages founded, what can shake thy sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, thou may'st smile at all thy foes. 2 See, the streams of living waters, springing from eternal love, well supply thy sons and daughters, and all fear of want remove. Who can faint while such a river ever flows their thirst to assuage: grace which, like the Lord the giver, never fails from age to age? 3 Round each habitation hovering, see the cloud and fire appear for a glory and a covering, showing that the Lord is near. Thus they march, the pillar leading, light by night and shade by day; daily on the manna feeding which he gives them when they pray. 4 Saviour, if of Zion's city I through grace a member am, let the world deride or pity, I will glory in thy name. Fading is the worldling's pleasure, all his boasted pomp and show; solid joys and lasting treasure, none but Zion's children know. Scripture: Isaiah 33:20-21 Used With Tune: AUSTRIA
