Jesus, Lover of My Soul
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3,216 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 17:8 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, lover of my soul,
let me to thy bosom fly,
while the nearer waters roll,
while the tempest still is high;
hide me, O my Savior, hide
till the storm of life is past;
safe into the haven guide;
O receive my soul at last.
2 Other refuge have I none,
hangs my helpless soul on thee;
leave, O leave me not alone,
still support and comfort me.
All my trust on thee is stayed,
all my help from thee I bring;
cover my defenseless head
with the shadow of thy wing.
3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want;
more than all in thee I find;
raise the fallen, cheer the faint,
heal the sick, and lead the blind.
Just and holy is thy name,
I am all unrighteousness;
false and full of sin I am,
thou art full of truth and grace.
4 Plenteous grace with thee is found,
grace to cover all my sin;
let the healing streams abound;
make and keep me pure within.
Thou of life the fountain art,
freely let me take of thee;
spring thou up within my heart,
rise to all eternity.

Jesus, Lover of My Soul
Psalm 17
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 101 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 17 First Line: Lord, I am thine; but thou wilt prove Lyrics:
Lord, I am thine; but thou wilt prove
My faith, my patience, and my love:
When men of spite against me join,
They are the sword, the hand is thine.
Their hope and portion lies below:
'Tis all the happiness they know,
'Tis all they seek; they take their shares,
And leave the rest among their heirs.
What sinners value I resign;
Lord, 'tis enough that thou art mine:
I shall behold thy blissful face,
And stand complete in righteousness.
This life's a dream, an empty show;
But the bright world to which I go
Hath joys substantial and sincere:
When shall I wake and find me there?
O glorious hour! O blest abode!
I shall be near and like my God!
And flesh and sin no more control
The sacred pleasures of the soul.
My flesh shall slumber in the ground
Till the last trumpet's joyful sound;
Then burst the chains with sweet surprise,
And in my Savior's image rise.

Psalm 17
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 43 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 17 First Line: Arise, my gracious God Lyrics:
Arise, my gracious God,
And make the wicked flee;
They are but thy chastising rod,
To drive thy saints to thee.
Behold, the sinner dies,
His haughty words are vain;
Here in this life his pleasure lies,
And all beyond is pain.
Then let his pride advance,
And boast of all his store;
The Lord is my inheritance,
My soul can wish no more.
I shall behold the face
Of my forgiving God;
And stand complete in righteousness,
Washed in my Savior's blood.
There's a new heav'n begun,
When I awake from death,
Dressed in the likeness of thy Son,
And draw immortal breath.

Glory to thee, my God, this night
Author: Ken Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,047 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 17:8 Lyrics: 1 Glory to thee, my God, this night,
For all the blessings of the light;
Keep me, oh, keep me, King of kings!
Beneath the shadow of thy wings.
2 Forgive me, Lord! for thy dear Son,
The ill that I this day have done;
That with the world, myself, and thee,
My soul, this night, at peace may be.
3 Teach me to live, that I may dread
The grave as little as my bed;
Teach me to die, that so I may
Rise glorious, at the judgment-day.
4 Oh, may my faith on thee repose;
May gentle sleep my eyelids close,
That shall my frame more vigorous make,
To serve my God when I awake.
5 Lord, let my soul for ever share
The bliss of thy parental care;
'Tis heaven on earth, 'tis heaven above,
To see thy face, and sing thy love. Topics: The Christian Family The Home Altar; Evening Song

Psalm 17: Lord, hear the right, attend my cry
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 15 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 17 First Line: Lord, hear the right, attend my cry Lyrics:
1Lord, hear the right, attend my cry,
unto my pray’r give heed,
That doth not in hypocrisy
from feigned lips proceed.
2And from before thy presence forth
my sentence do thou send:
Toward these things that equal are
do thou thine eyes intend.
3Thou prov’dst mine heart, thou visit’dst me
by night, thou didst me try,
Yet nothing found’st; for that my mouth
shall not sin, purpos’d I.
4As for men’s works, I, by the word
that from thy lips doth flow,
Did me preserve out of the paths
wherein destroyers go.
5Hold up my goings, Lord, me guide
in those thy paths divine,
So that my footsteps may not slide
out of those ways of thine.
6I called have on thee, O God,
because thou wilt me hear:
That thou may’st hearken to my speech,
to me incline thine ear.
7Thy wondrous loving-kindness show,
thou that, by thy right hand,
Sav’st them that trust in thee from those
that up against them stand.
8As th’ apple of the eye me keep;
in thy wings shade me close
9From lewd oppressors, compassing
me round, as deadly foes.
10In their own fat they are inclos’d;
their mouth speaks loftily.
11Our steps they compass’d; and to ground
down bowing set their eye.
12He like unto a lion is
that’s greedy of his prey,
Or lion young, which lurking doth
in secret places stay.
13Arise, and disappoint my foe,
and cast him down, O Lord:
My soul save from the wicked man,
the man which is thy sword.
14From men, which are thy hand, O Lord,
from worldly men me save,
Which only in this present life
their part and portion have.
Whose belly with thy treasure hid
thou fill’st: they children have
In plenty; of their goods the rest
they to their children leave.
15But as for me, I thine own face
in righteousness will see;
And with thy likeness, when I wake,
I satisfy’d shall be.

To my just Plea, and sad Complaint
Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 17 Lyrics: 1 To my just Plea, and sad Complaint,
attend, O righteous Lord,
And to my Pray'r, as 'tis unfeign'd,
a gracious Ear afford.
2 As in thy Sight I am approv'd,
so let my Sentence be;
And with impartial Eyes, O Lord,
my upright Dealing see.
3 For thou hast search'd my Heart by Day,
and visited by Night;
And, on the strictest Trial, found
its secret Motions right.
Nor shall thy Justice, Lord, alone
my Heart's Designs acquit;
For I have purpos'd, that my tongue
shall no Offence commit.
4 I know what wicked Men would do,
their Safety to maintain;
But me thy just and mild Commands
from bloody Paths restrain.
5 That I may still, in spite of Wrongs,
my Innocence secure,
O, guide me in thy righteous Ways,
and make my Footsteps sure.
6 Since heretofore I ne'er in vain
to Thee my Pray'r address'd;
O! now, my God, incline thine Ear
to this my just Request.
The Wonders of thy Truth and Love
in my Defence engage,
Thou whose Right-hand preserves thy Saints
from their Oppressors Rage.
Part II
8.9 O! keep me in thy tend'rest Care;
Thy sheltring wings stretch out,
To guard me safe from savage Foes,
that compass me about;
10 O'ergrown with Luxury, inclos'd
in their own Fat they lie;
And with a proud blaspheming Mouth
both God and Man defie.
11 Well may they boast; for they have now
my Paths encompass'd round;
their Eyes at watch, their Bodies bow'd
and couching on the Ground.
12 In Posture of a Lion set,
when greedy of his Prey;
Or a young Lion, when he lurks
within a covert Way.
13 Arise, O Lord, defeat their Plots,
their swelling Rage controul:
From wicked Men, who are thy Sword,
deliver thou my soul:
14 From worldly Men, thy sharpest Scourge,
whose Portion's here below;
who, fill'd with earthly Stores, aspire
no other Bliss to know.
15 Their Race is num'rous, that partake
their Substance while they live;
Their Heirs survive, to whom they may
the vast Remainder give.
16 But I, in Uprightness, thy Face
shall view without Controul;
And, waking, shall its Image find
reflected in my Soul.
