Author: Anonymous Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: O God, be merciful to me Lyrics: 1. O God, be merciful to me,
For men no mercy show;
With constant warfare pressing me
They seek my overthrow.
2. When foes invade, I safely rest
Confiding in Thy Word;
I will not dread what man can do
My trust is in the Lord.
3. I take Thy vows upon me now,
O God, who savest me;
The sacrifice of praise I bring
In gratitude to Thee.
4. My feet from falling and my soul
From death thou hast restored,
And ever in the light of life
I walk before the Lord. Used With Tune: MASON'S CHANT Text Sources: From The Psalter (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: The United Presbyterian Board of Publication, 1912), number 153
