To God, in whom I trust
Hymnal: A New Version of the Psalms of David #XXV (1760) Lyrics: 1 To God, in whom I trust,
2 I lift my Heart and Voice;
O! let me not be put to Shame,
nor let my Foes rejoice.
3 Those, who on Thee rely,
let no Disgrace attend:
Be that the shameful Lot of such
as wilfully offend.
4, 5 To me thy Truth impart,
and lead me in thy Way:
For thou art He that brings me Help;
on Thee I wait all Day.
6 Thy Mercies, and thy Love,
O Lord, recall to Mind;
And graciously continue still,
as Thou wert ever, kind.
7 Let all my youthful Crimes
be blotted out by Thee;
And for thy wond'rous Goodness' sake,
in Mercy think on me.
8 His Mercy, and his Truth,
the righteous Lord displays,
In bringing wand'ring Sinners home,
and teaching them his Ways.
9 He those in Justice guides,
who his Direction seek;
And in his sacred Paths shall lead
the Humble and the Meek.
10 Through all the Ways of God
both Truth and Mercy shine,
To such as with religious Hearts
to his blest Will incline.
Part II
11 Since Mercy is the Grace
that most exalts thy Fame;
Forgive my heinous Sin, O Lord,
and so advance thy Name.
12 Whoe'er with humble Fear
to God his Duty pays,
Shall find the Lord a faithful Guide
in all his righteous Ways.
13 His quiet Soul with Peace
shall be forever blest,
And by his num'rous Race the Land,
successively possess'd.
14 For God to all his Saints
his secret Will imparts,
And does his gracious Cov'nant write
in their obedient Hearts.
15 To Him I lift my Eyes,
and wait his timely Aid,
Who breaks the strong and treach'rous Snare,
which for my Feet was laid.
16 O! turn, and all my Griefs,
in Mercy, Lord, redress;
For I am compass'd round with Woes,
and plung'd in deep Distress.
17 The Sorrows of my Heart
to mighty Sums increase;
O! from this dark and dismal State
my troubled Soul release!
18 Do Thou, with tender Eyes,
my sad Affliction see;
Acquit me, Lord, and from my Guilt
intirely set me free.
19 Consider, Lord, my Foes,
how vast their Numbers grow!
What lawless Force and Rage thy use,
what boundless Hate they show!
20 Protect, and set my Soul,
from their fierce Malice free;
Nor let me be asham'd, who place
my stedfast Trust in Thee.
21 Let all my righteous Acts
to full perfection rise;
Because my firm and constant Hope
on Thee alone relies.
22 To Israel's chosen Race
continue ever kind;
And in the midst of all their Wants,
let them thy Succour find. Scripture: Psalm 25 Languages: English

W. H. Havergal
1793 - 1870 Author of "To God, in whom I trust" in The Choral Havergal, William Henry, M.A, son of William Havergal, was born at High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, 1793, and was educated at St. Edmund's Hall, Oxford (B.A. 1815, M.A. 1819). On taking Holy Orders he became in 1829 Rector of Astley, Worcestershire; in 1842, Rector of St. Nicholas, Worcester; and in 1860, Rector of Shareshill, near Wolverhampton. He was also Hon.

Nahum Tate
1652 - 1715 Person Name: Nahum Tate, 1652-1715 Author of "To God, in whom I trust" in The Christian Psalmist; or, Watts' Psalms and Hymns Nahum Tate was born in Dublin and graduated from Trinity College, Dublin, B.A. 1672. He lacked great talent but wrote much for the stage, adapting other men's work, really successful only in a version of King Lear. Although he collaborated with Dryden on several occasions, he was never fully in step with the intellectual life of his times, and spent most of his life in a futile pursuit of popular favor. Nonetheless, he was appointed poet laureate in 1692 and royal historiographer in 1702. He is now known only for the New Version of the Psalms of David, 1696, which he produced in collaboration with Nicholas Brady. Poverty stricken throughout much of his life, he died in the Mint at Southwark, where he had taken refuge from his creditors, on August 12, 1715.

George Frideric Handel
1685 - 1759 Person Name: Handel Composer of "THATCHER" in Carmina Sacra George Frideric Handel (b. Halle, Germany, 1685; d. London, England, 1759) became a musician and composer despite objections from his father, who wanted him to become a lawyer. Handel studied music with Zachau, organist at the Halle Cathedral, and became an accomplished violinist and keyboard performer. He traveled and studied in Italy for some time and then settled permanently in England in 1713. Although he wrote a large number of instrumental works, he is known mainly for his Italian operas, oratorios (including Messiah, 1741), various anthems for church and royal festivities, and organ concertos, which he interpolated into his oratorio performances. He composed only three hymn tunes, one of which (GOPSAL) still appears in some modern hymnals. A number of hymnal editors, including Lowell Mason, took themes from some of Handel's oratorios and turned them into hymn tunes; ANTIOCH is one example, long associated with “Joy to the World.”
