How blest are they, who fearing God

Hymnal: TBP1997 #1 (1997) First Line: How blest are they, who, fearing God Lyrics: 1 How blest are they, who, fearing God, from sin restrain their feet, who will not with the wicked stand, and shun the scorner's seat. 2 How blest are they who make God's law their treasure and delight, and meditate upon that word with gladness day and night. 3 Their lives are nourished like a tree set by the river's side; its leaf is green; its fruit is sure; so all their works abide. 4 The wicked, like the driven chaff, are blown across the land; they shall not gather with the just, nor in the judgement stand. 5 The Lord will guard the righteous well; their way to God is known, the way of sinners, far from God, shall surely be o'erthrown.

You hear me from your holy hill and answer when I cry aloud. 3 I go to rest, and sleep in peace– I wake again; God keeps me safe: ten thousand shall not make me fear, for all their threats to take my life. 4 Arise, O Lord, to rescue me: arise and save me, O my God!

They scorn to serve the King of kings– O living God, how long? 3 The saints, O LORD, you set apart by grace to be your own: let sinners tremble, search their hearts and bow before your throne. 4 While many pray that you will bless and bring them all they need, unless they long for holiness, their prayers are vain indeed. 5 Your light, O Lord, let us receive; your face within us shine, for richer is the joy you give than all their grain and wine. 6 And even when I turn to sleep your blessings still increase, for you alone, O Lord, will keep your child in perfect peace.

In sweet communion, Lord, with you

Hymnal: TBP1997 #44 (1997) Lyrics: 1 In sweet communion, Lord, with you I constantly abide; my hand you hold within your own to keep me near your side. 2 Your counsel through my earthly way shall guide me and control, and then to glory afterward you will receive my soul. 3 Whom have I, Lord, in heaven but you, to whom my thoughts aspire? And, having you, what more on earth is there I can desire? 4 Though flesh and heart should faint and fail, the Lord will ever be the strength and portion of my heart, my God eternally. 5 To live apart from God is death; 'tis good God's face to seek. You are my refuge, living God; your praise I long to speak.

God of hosts, you chose a vine

Author: David Mowbray, 1938- Hymnal: TBP1997 #48 (1997) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 God of hosts, you chose a vine meant to bear the finest wine, set it in a promised land, nurtured by your careful hand. 2 Like a cedar, it grew strong- deep its roots, its tendrils long; yet, in envy those around stripped its branches to the ground. 3 Desolate, to God we cry: "Spare us from the enemy!"
