Forever Settled in the Heavens
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Law of God Lyrics: 1 Forever settled in the heav'ns,
thy word, O Lord, shall firmly stand;
thy faithfulness shall never fail;
the earth abides at thy command.
2 Thy word and works unmoved remain,
thine ev'ry purpose to fulfil;
all things are thine and thee obey,
and all as servants wait thy will.
3 I should have perished in my woe
had not I loved thy law divine;
that law I never can forget;
O save me, Lord, for I am thine.
4 The wicked would destroy my soul,
but in thy truth is refuge sure;
exceeding broad is thy command,
and in perfection shall endure.
Scripture: Psalm 119:89-97 Used With Tune: DUKE STREET Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912; alt. 1961
Forever Settled in the Heavens
In Christ alone
Author: E. Mote Appears in 1,109 hymnals Topics: Law of God; Law of God First Line: My hope is built on nothing less Refrain First Line: On Christ, the solid rock, I stand Lyrics: 1 My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus' name:
On Christ the solid rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
2 When darkness seems to veil his face
I rest on his unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the vail;
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
3 His oath, his covenant, and blood,
Support me in the whelming flood:
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay:
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand. Used With Tune: SOLID ROCK

The Law of God is Good and Wise
Author: Matthias Loy Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 20 hymnals Topics: God's Word The Law of God Lyrics: 1 The law of God is good and wise
and sets his will before our eyes,
shows us the way of righteousness,
and dooms to death when we transgress.
2 Its light of holiness imparts
the knowledge of our sinful hearts
that we may see our lost estate
and seek deliv'rance ere too late.
3 To those who help in Christ have found
and would in works of love abound
it shows what deeds are his delight
and should be done as good and right.
4 When men the offered help disdain
and wilfully in sin remain,
its terror in their ear resounds
and keeps their wickedness in bounds.
5 The law is good; but since the fall
its holiness condemns us all;
it dooms us for our sin to die
and has no pow'r to justify.
6 To Jesus we for refuge flee,
who from the curse has set us free,
and humbly worship at his throne,
saved by his grace through faith alone.
Scripture: Psalm 19:8 Used With Tune: ERHALT UNS, HERR

Yet from Thy law I do not swerve;

For they Thy word do not observe.

In kindness Lord, revive Thou me;
The sum of all Thy word is truth,
Thy word abides eternally.

"No other name"
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 606 hymnals Topics: Law of God; Law of God First Line: Not all the blood of beasts Lyrics: 1 Not all the blood of beasts
On Jewish altars slain,
Could give the guilty conscience peace,
Or wash away the stain.
2 But Christ the heavenly Lamb
Takes all our sins away,
A sacrifice of nobler name
And richer blood than they.
3 My faith would lay her hand
On that dear head of thine,
While like a penitent I stand,
And there confess my sin.
4 My soul looks back to see
The burdens thou didst bear,
When hanging on the cursed tree,
And hopes her guilt was there.
5 Believing, we rejoice
To see the curse remove;
We bless the Lamb with cheerful voice,
And sing his dying love. Used With Tune: GORTON

Lord, how secure my conscience was
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 129 hymnals Topics: Worship Law of God Lyrics: 1 Lord, how secure my conscience was,
And felt no inward dread!
I was alive without the law,
And thought my sins were dead.
2 My hopes of heaven were firm and bright:
But since the precept came
With a convincing power and light,
I find how vile I am.
3 My guilt appeared but small before,
Till terribly I saw
How perfect, holy, just, and pure,
Was thy eternal law.
4 Then felt my soul the heavy load,
My sins revived again;
I had provoked a dreadful God,
And all my hopes were slain.
5 My God, I cry with every breath
For some kind power to save,
To break the yoke of sin and death,
And thus redeem the slave. Used With Tune: AVON
Lord, how secure my conscience was

How shall the Young secure their Hearts
Appears in 484 hymnals Topics: Delight in Law of God Lyrics: 1 How shall the Young secure their Hearts,
And guard their Lives from Sin;
Thy Word the choicest Rules imparts
To keep the Conscience clean.
2 When once it enters to the Mind,
It spreads such Light abroad,
The meanest Souls Instruction find,
And raise their Thoughts to GOD.
3 'Tis like the Sun, a heav'nly Light,
That guides us all the Day;
And through the Dangers of the Night,
A Lamp to lead our Way.
4 The Men that keep thy Law with Care,
And meditate thy Word,
Grow wiser than their Teachers are,
And better know the Lord.
5 Thy Precepts make me truly wise;
I hate the Sinner's Road;
I hate my own vain Thoughts that rise,
But love thy Law, my GOD.
6 [The starry Heav'ns thy Rule obey,
The Earth maintains her Place;
And these thy Servants Night and Day
Thy Skill and Pow'r express.
7 But still thy Law and Gospel, Lord,
Have Lessons more divine:
Not Earth stands firmer than thy Word,
Nor Stars so nobly shine.]
8 Thy Word is everlasting Truth;
How pure is ev'ry Page!
That holy Book shall guide our Youth,
And well support our Age. Scripture: Psalm 119:99-100
