The Man Who Once Has Found Abode

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 40 hymnals Topics: Preservation of Christians Lyrics: 1 The man who once has found abode, within the secret place of God shall with Almighty God abide, and in his shadow safely hide. 2 I therefore of the Lord will say, he is my refuge and my stay; my citadel of strength is he — My God in whom my trust shall be. 3 For he shall with his watchful care preserve thee from the fowler's snare; yea, he shall be thy sure defense against the deadly pestilence. 4 His outspread pinions shall thee hide, beneath his wings shalt thou confide. His faithfulness shall ever be a shield and buckler unto thee. 5 No nightly terrors shall alarm, no deadly shaft by day shall harm; nor pestilence that walks by night, nor plagues that waste in noonday light. 6 Because his angels he commands to bear thee safely in their hands, to guard thy ways, lest left alone, thou dash thy foot against a stone. 7 "Because he set his love on Me, from danger I will set him free. Because to him My name is known, On high I'll set him as Mine own." Scripture: Psalm 91:1-14 Used With Tune: UXBRIDGE Text Sources: Reformed Presbyterian Book of Psalms, 1940

He bled, he died to save me; and not alone the gift of life, but his own self he gave me! Naught that I have mine own I'll call, I'll hold it for the Giver, my heart, my strength, my life, my all are his, and his forever. 3 I've found a Friend, O such a Friend! All pow'r to him is given, to guard me on my onward course, and bring me safe to heaven: eternal glory gleams afar, to nerve my faint endeavor: so now to watch, to work, to war; and then to rest forever. 4 I've found a Friend, O such a Friend! So kind and true and tender, so wise a Counselor and guide, so mighty a defender! From him who loves me now so well what pow'r my soul can sever? Shall life or death, shall earth or hell? No! I am his forever. Scripture: John 15:13 Used With Tune: CONSTANCE

Though troubles assail us, and dangers affright

Author: John Newton Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 434 hymnals Topics: Preservation of Christians Lyrics: 1 Though troubles assail us, and dangers affright, Though friends should all fail us, and foes all unite, Yet one thing secures us, whatever betide, The promise assures us, "The Lord will provide." 2 The birds, without garner or storehouse, are fed; From them let us learn to trust God for our bread: His saints what is fitting shall ne'er be denied So long as 'tis written, "The Lord will provide." 3 When Satan assails us to stop up our path, And courage all fails us, we triumph by faith. He cannot take from us, though oft he has tried, This heart-cheering promise, "The Lord will provide." 4 No strength of our own, and no goodness we claim; Yet, since we have known of the Saviour's great Name, In this our strong tower for safety we hide: The Lord is our power, "The Lord will provide." Amen. Scripture: Psalm 27:5 Used With Tune: JOANNA Text Sources: The New Christian Hymnal, 1929
