Or where's a refuge like our God? 2 'Tis he that girds me with his might, Gives me his holy sword to wield; And while with sin and hell I fight, Spreads his salvation for my shield. 3 He lives, and blessings crown his reign, The God of my salvation lives, The dark designs of hell are vain; While heavenly peace my Father gives. 4 Before the scoffers of the age, I will exalt my Father's name, Nor tremble at their mighty rage, But meet reproach, and bear the shame. 5 To David and his royal seed Thy grace for ever shall extend; Thy love to saints in Christ their head, Knows not a limit, nor an end.

To God My Earnest Voice I Raise

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 28 hymnals Topics: Deliverance From Enemies Lyrics: 1 To God my earnest voice I raise, To God my voice imploring prays; Before His face my grief I show And tell my trouble and my woe. 2 When gloom and sorrow compass me, The path I take is known to Thee, And all the toils that foes do lay To snare Thy servant in his way. 3 All unprotected, lo, I stand, No friendly guardian at my hand, No place of flight or refuge near, And none to whom my soul is dear. 4 O Lord, my Savior, now to Thee, Without a hope besides, I flee, To Thee, my shelter from the strife, My portion in the land of life. 5 Be Thou my help when troubles throng, For I am weak and foes are strong; My captive soul from prison bring, And thankful praises I will sing. 6 The righteous then shall gather round To share the blessing I have found, Their hearts made glad because they see How richly God has dealt with me.

Always watch and prayer?" Christian, answer boldly, "While I breathe I pray!" Peace shall follow battle, Night shall end in day. Used With Tune: ST. ANDREW OF CRETE

Jehovah, to My Prayer Give Ear

Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Deliverance From Enemies Lyrics: 1 Jehovah, to my prayer give ear, Nor hide Thee from my cry; Attend my sad complaint, and hear My restless moan and sigh. My enemies lift up their voice, The violent oppress; To do me wrong my foes rejoice, And love my soul's distress. 2 Sore pained in heart I find no ease, Death's terrors fill my soul, Great fear and trembling on me seize, And horrors o'er me roll. O had I wings, I sigh and say, Like some swift dove to roam, Then would I hasten far away And find a peaceful home. 3 Lo, wandering far my rest should be In some lone desert waste; I from the stormy wind would flee, And to a shelter haste. O Lord, their malice recompense, Their wicked tongues confound, For in the city violence And bitter strife abound. 4 They walk her walls both night and day, Within all vices meet; Oppression, fraud, and crime hold sway, Nor leave the crowded street. No foreign foe provokes alarm, But enemies within; May God destroy their power to harm And recompense their sin. Scripture: Psalm 55 Used With Tune: VOX DILECTI

How Great the Goodness Kept in Store

Meter: 8.8.6 D Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Deliverance From Enemies Lyrics: 1 How great the goodness kept in store For those who fear Thee and adore In meek humility. How great the deeds with mercy fraught Which openly Thy hand has wrought For those who trust in Thee, For those who trust in Thee. 2 Secured by Thy unfailing grace, In Thee they find a hiding-place When foes their plots devise; A sure retreat Thou wilt prepare, And keep them safely sheltered there, When strife of tongues shall rise, When strife of tongues shall rise. 3 Blest be the Lord, for He has showed, While giving me a safe abode, His love beyond compare; Although His face He seemed to hide, He ever heard me when I cried, And made my wants His care, And made my wants His care. 4 Ye saints, Jehovah love and serve, For He the faithful will preserve, And shield from men of pride; Be strong, and let your hearts be brave, All ye that wait for Him to save, In God the Lord confide, In God the Lord confide.
