Psalm 4
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 245 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 4 First Line: Lord, thou wilt hear me when I pray Lyrics:
Lord, thou wilt hear me when I pray,
I am for ever thine;
I fear before thee all the day,
Nor would I dare to sin.
And while I rest my weary head,
From cares and business free,
'Tis sweet conversing on my bed,
With my own heart and thee.
I pay this evening sacrifice:
And when my work is done,
Great God, my faith and hope relies
Upon thy grace alone.
Thus, with my thoughts composed to pray,
I'll give mine eyes to sleep;
Thy hand in safety keeps my days,
And will my slumbers keep.

All Praise to Thee, My God, This Night
Author: Thomas Ken Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,048 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 4:8 Lyrics: 1 All praise to thee, my God, this night,

the ills that I this day have done;

I, ere I sleep, at peace may be.
3 O may my soul on thee repose,
and with sweet sleep mine eyelids close;
sleep that may me more vig'rous make
to serve my God when I awake.

my soul with heav'nly thoughts supply;
let no ill dreams disturb my rest,
no pow'rs of darkness me molest.
5 O when shall I in endless day
forever chase dark sleep away,
and hymns with the supernal choir
incessant sing, and never tire!

praise him above, ye heav'nly host:

Psalm 4
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 40 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 4 First Line: O God of grace and righteousness Lyrics:
O God of grace and righteousness,
Hear and attend when I complain;
Thou hast enlarged me in distress,
Bow down a gracious ear again.
Ye sons of men, in vain ye try
To turn my glory into shame;
How long will scoffers love to lie,
And dare reproach my Savior's name?
Know that the Lord divides his saints
From all the tribes of men beside;
He hears the cry of penitents,
For the dear sake of Christ that died.
When our obedient bands have done
A thousand works of righteousness,
We put our trust in God alone,
And glory in his pardoning grace.
Let the unthinking many say,
"Who will bestow some earthly good?"
But, Lord, thy light and love we pray;
Our souls desire this heav'nly food.
Then shall my cheerful powers rejoice,
At grace and favors so divine;
Nor will I change my happy choice
For all their corn, and all their wine.

Hymn 80
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 658 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 4:8 First Line: Thus far the Lord has led me on Lyrics:
Thus far the Lord has led me on,
Thus far his power prolongs my days;
And every evening shall make known
Some fresh memorial of his grace.
Much of my time has run to waste,
And I perhaps am near my home;
But he forgives my follies past,
He gives me strength for days to come.
I lay my body down to sleep,
Peace is the pillow for my head;
While well-appointed angels keep
Their watchful stations round my bed.
In vain the sons of earth or hell
Tell me a thousand frightful things
My God in safety makes me dwell
Beneath the shadow of his wings.
[Faith in his name forbids my fear;
O may thy presence ne'er depart!
And in the morning make me hear
The love and kindness of thy heart.
Thus when the night of death shall come,
My flesh shall rest beneath the ground,
And wait thy voice to rouse my tomb,
With sweet salvation in the sound.]

1Give ear unto me when I call,
God of my righteousness:
Have mercy, hear my pray’r; thou hast
enlarg’d me in distress.
2O ye the sons of men! how long
will ye love vanities?
How long my glory turn to shame,
and will ye follow lies?
3But know, that for himself the Lord
the godly man doth chuse:
The Lord, when I on him do call,
to hear will not refuse.
4Fear, and sin not; talk with your heart
on bed, and silent be.
5Off ‘rings present of righteousness,
and in the Lord trust ye.
6O who will shew us any good?
is that which many say:
But of thy countenance the light,
Lord, lift on us alway.
7Upon my heart, bestow’d by thee,
more gladness I have found
Than they, ev’n then, when corn and wine
did most with them abound.
8I will both lay me down in peace,
and quiet sleep will take;
Because thou only me to dwell
in safety, Lord, dost make.

Their most intense pursuit;
Or if they seize the fancied good,
There's poison in the fruit.
4 Lord, from this world call off my love,
Set my affections right:
Bid me aspire to joys above,
And walk no more by sight.

Upon my bosom shine:
Assur'd of thy forgiving grace,
My joys will be divine.

O Lord, that art my righteous Judge
Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 4 Lyrics: 1 O Lord, that art my righteous Judge,

Thou still redeem'st me from Distress:
Have Mercy, Lord, and hear.
2 How long will ye, O Sons of Men,
to blot my Fame devise?
How long your vain Designs pursue,
and spread malicious Lies?
3 Consider that the righteous Man
is God's peculiar Choice;
And when to him I make my Pray'r,
he always hears my Voice.
4 Then stand in Awe of his Commands,
flee ev'ry Thing that's ill;
Commune in private with your Hearts,
and bind them to his Will.
5 The Place of other Sacrifice
let Righteousness supply;
And let your Hope, securely fix'd,
on God alone rely.
6 While worldly Minds impatient grow,
more prosp'rous Times to see;
Still let the Glories of thy Face
shine brightly, Lord, on me.

by grace to be your own:
let sinners tremble, search their hearts,
and bow before your throne;
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;
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;
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;
for you alone, O LORD, will keep
your child in perfect peace.

Breaks forth in starlight tender
From myriad worlds unknown;
And we, this marvel seeing,
Forget our selfish being
For joy of beauty not our own.
4 Lord Jesus, since You love me,
Now spread Your wings above me
And shield me from alarm.
Though Satan would devour me,
Let angel guards sing o'er me:
This child of God shall meet no harm.

For God this night will surely
From peril guard your heads.
Sweet slumbers may He send you
And bid His hosts attend you
And through the night watch o'er your beds.

let freely off'red be
And therewith place your confidence
upon the LORD do ye.
6 While multitudes enquiring are,
who'll cause us good to see?
The light, LORD, of thy countenance
let on us lifted be.
7 Thou giv'st more gladness in my heart
than their's in times wherein
Their harvest-corn and their new wine,
have much increased been.
8 In peace with Him I will lie down,
and I my sleep will take;
For me in confidence to dwell,
Thou, LORD, alone dost make.

I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say
Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1,232 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 4:7 Lyrics: 1 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"Come unto me and rest;
lay down, O weary one, lay down
your head upon my breast."
I came to Jesus as I was,
weary and worn, and sad;
I found in him a resting place,
and he has made me glad.
2 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"Behold, I freely give
the living water; thirsty one,
stoop down and drink and live."
I came to Jesus and I drank
of that life-giving stream,
my thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
and now I live in him.
3 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"I am this dark world's light;
look unto me, your morn shall rise,
and all your day be bright."
I looked to Jesus, and I found
in him my star, my sun;
and in that Light of life I'll walk,
till traveling days are done.

How beauteous are their feet
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 712 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 4 Lyrics:
How beauteous are their feet
Who stand on Zion's hill!
Who bring salvation on their tongues,
And words of peace reveal!
How charming is their voice!
How sweet the tidings are!
"Zion, behold thy Savior King;
He reigns and triumphs here."
How happy are our ears
That hear this joyful sound,
Which kings and prophets waited for,
And sought, but never found!
How blessed are our eyes
That see this heav'nly light
Prophets and kings desired it long,
But died without the sight.
The watchmen join their voice,
And tuneful notes employ;
Jerusalem breaks forth in songs,
And deserts learn the joy.
The Lord makes bare his arm
Through all the earth abroad;
Let every nation now behold
Their Savior and their God!
