Psalm 124: Had not the Lord been on our side
Hymnal: Scottish Psalter and Paraphrases #P153 (1800) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Had not the Lord been on our side Lyrics:
1Had not the Lord been on our side,
may Israel now say;
2Had not the Lord been on our side,
when men rose us to slay;
3They had us swallow’d quick, when as
their wrath ‘gainst us did flame:
4Waters had cover’d us, our soul
had sunk beneath the stream.
5Then had the waters, swelling high,
over our soul made way.
6Bless’d be the Lord, who to their teeth
us gave not for a prey.
7Our soul’s escaped, as a bird
out of the fowler’s snare;
The snare asunder broken is,
and we escaped are.
8Our sure and all-sufficient help
is in Jehovah’s name;
His name who did the heav’n create,
and who the earth did frame.

may Israel now say;
2 Had not the Lord been on our side,
when men rose us to slay;
3 alive they had us swallowed then
in rage beyond control;
4 the waters had us overwhelmed,
the stream gone o'er our soul.
had sunk beneath the stream.
5 Then had the waters swelling high
over our soul made way.
6 Blessed be the Lord, who to their teeth
us gave not for a prey.
7 Our soul’s escaped, as a bird
out of the fowler’s snare;
the snare asunder broken is,
and we escaped are.
8 Our sure and all-sufficient help
is in Jehovah’s name;
his name who did the heaven create,
and who the earth did frame.

Had not the Lord been on our side
A Song of Degrees of David
Hymnal: The Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs of the Old and New-Testament #PCXXIV (1742) First Line: Had not the Lord been on our side Lyrics: 1 Had not the Lord been on our side
May Isra'l now proclaim.
2 Had not the Lord been on our side
When men against us came,
3 They then had swallowed us alive,
When their wrath on us burn'd.
4 Then had the waters us o'envhelm'd,
The stream our soul o'ertum'd.
5 The waters proud then o'er our soul
Had passed on their way.
6 Blest be the Lord who to their teeth
Did not give us a prey.
7 Our soul is as a bird escap'd
Out of the fowler's snare;
The snare asunder broken is,
And we escaped are.
8 The succour which we do enjoy,
Is in Jehovah's name:
Who is the maker of the earth,
And of the heavens frame. Scripture: Psalm 124 Languages: English

Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878. He left that profession to dedicate his life to music, serving as music director at Grace Methodist Church in Philadelphia. Kirkpatrick compiled some one hundred gospel song collections; his first, Devotional Melodies (1859), was published when he was only twenty-one years old. Many of these collections were first published by the John Hood Company and later by Kirkpatrick's own Praise Publishing Company, both in Philadelphia.
