My feet shall travel all the length Of the celestial road, And march with courage in thy strength, To see my Father God. When I am filled with sore distress For some surprising sin, I'll plead thy perfect righteousness, And mention none but thine. How will my lips rejoice to tell The vict'ries of my King! My soul, redeemed from sin and hell, Shall thy salvation sing. My tongue shall all the day proclaim My Savior and my God; His death has brought my foes to shame, And drowned them in his blood. Awake, awake, my tuneful powers; With this delightful song I'll entertain the darkest hours, Nor think the season long.

Wilt thou forsake my hoary hairs, And leave my fainting heart? Who shall sustain my sinking years, If God my strength depart? Let me thy power and truth proclaim To the surviving age; And leave a savor of thy name When I shall quit the stage. The land of silence and of death Attends my next remove; O may these poor remains of breath Teach the wide world thy love! Thy righteousness is deep and high, Unsearchable thy deeds; Thy glory spreads beyond the sky, And all my praise exceeds. Oft have I heard thy threat'nings roar, And oft endured the grief; But when thy hand has pressed me sore, Thy grace was my relief. By long experience have I known Thy sovereign power to save; At thy command I venture down Securely to the grave. When I lie buried deep in dust, My flesh shall be thy care; These withering limbs with thee I trust, To raise them strong and fair.

Author: Joachim Neander (1650-1680); Robert Bridges (1844-1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7.3.3.7 Appears in 69 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 71:5-6 Lyrics: 1 All my hope on God is founded, all my trust he will renew; safe through change and chance he guides me, only good and only true. God unknown, he alone calls my heart to be his own. 2 Human pride and earthly glory, sword and crown betray God's trust; though with care and toil we build them, tower and temple fall to dust. But God's power, hour by hour, is my temple and my tower. 3 God's great goodness lasts for ever, deep his wisdom passing thought: splendour, light, and life attend him, beauty springing out of naught. Evermore, from his store new-born worlds rise and adore. 4 Day by day the mighty Giver showers gifts on us below; his desire our souls delight in, pleasure leads us where we go. See love stand at his hand, joy awaits at his command! 5 Still from earth to God in heaven sacrifice of praise be done, high above all praises praising for the gift of Christ his Son. Hear Christ call one and all: those who follow shall not fall. Topics: Our Response to God in adoration and gratitude; Change; Hope; Providence Used With Tune: MICHAEL

In Thee I put my stedfast Trust

Appears in 31 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 71 Lyrics: 1 In Thee I put my stedfast Trust, defend me, Lord, from Shame: Incline thine Ear, and save my Soul; for righteous is thy Name. 2 Be Thou my strong Abiding-place, to which I may resort: 'Tis thy Decree that keeps me safe; Thou art my Rock and Fort. 4,5 From cruel and ungodly Men protect and set me free; For thou my earliest Youth till now, my Hope has been in Thee. 6 Thy constant Care did safely guard my tender infant Days; Thou took'st me from my Mother's Womb, to sing thy constant Praise. 7.8 While some on me with Wonder gaze thy Hand supports me still: Thy Honour therefore, and thy Praise, my Mouth shall always fill. 9 Reject not then thy Servant, Lord, when I with Age decay: Forsake me not, when, worn with Years, my Vigour fades away. 10 My Foes, against my Fame and me, with crafty malice speak; Against my Soul they lay their Snares, and mutual Counsel take. 11 "His God, say they, forsakes him now, "on whom he did rely: "Pursue and take him, whilst no Hope "of timely Aid is nigh." 12 But Thou, my God, withdraw not far: For speedy Help I call; 13 To Shame and Ruin bring my Foes, that seek to work my Fall. 14 But as for me, my steadfast Hope shall on thy Pow'r depend; And I in grateful Songs of Praise my Time to come will spend. Part II 15 Thy righteous Acts, and saving Health, my Mouth shall still declare; Unable yet to count them all, tho' summ'd with utmost Care. 16 While God vouchsafes me His Support, I'll in His Strength go on; All other Righteousness disclaim, and mention His alone. 17 Thou, Lord, hast taught me, from my Youth, to praise thy glorious Name: And ever since thy wondrous Works have been my constant Theme. 18 Then now forsake me not, when I am grey and feeble grown; 'till I to these, and future Times, thy Strength and Pow'r have shown. 19 How high thy Justice soars, O God! how great and wond'rous are The mighty Works which Thou hast done! who may with Thee compare! 20 Me, whom thy Hand has sorely press'd, thy Grace shall yet relieve; And from the lowest Depth of Woe with tender Care retrieve. 21 Through Thee, my Time to come shall be with Pow'r and Greatness crown'd; And me, who dismal Years have pass'd, thy comforts shall surround. 22 Therefore, with Psaltery and Harp, thy truth, O Lord, I'll praise; To Thee, the God of Jacob's Race, My Voice in Anthems raise. 23 Then Joy shall fill my Mouth, and Songs employ my chearful Voice; My grateful Soul, by Thee redeem'd, shall in thy Strength rejoice. 24 My tongue thy just and righteous Acts shall all the Day proclaim; Because Thou didst confound thy Foes, and brought'st them all to Shame.

Jehovah in my great distress

Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 71 Lyrics: 1 JEHOVAH, in my great distress I place my trust in Thee: O let me not be put to shame to perpetuity. 2 But in thy truth and righteousness rescue and set me free: O bow to me thy gracious ear, and save me speedily. 3 Be Thou the rock where I may dwell, and constantly resort: To save me Thou commanded hast, who art my rock and fort. 4 My God, free me from wicked hands, hands cruel, as unjust; 5 For Lord JEHOVAH Thou my hope, and from my youth my trust; 6 Thou hast upheld me from my birth, thro' all my dang'rous days; Yea, from my mother's womb me took; and I'll Thee ever praise. [2 Part] 7 To many I a wonder am: be Thou my refuge strong; 8 And let my mouth resound thy praise and honour, all day long. 9 In time of my declining age O cast me not from Thee: And as I find my strength decay O now forsake not me. 10 For my malicious enemies against me falsely speak; And they who for my soul lay wait together counsel take. 11 For GOD, they say, hath him forsook, 'Now persecute ye him, And seize him Now; for there is none 'to save, or him redeem.' 12 O GOD, in this my great distress, be Thou not far from me; But for my help, O Thou my God, come to me speedily. [3 Part] 14 But I with hope and patience still on Thee will waiting be; And I will add yet more and more to all the praise of Thee. 15 My mouth shall forth thy righteousness, and thy salvation show, From day to day; for of the same no number do I know. 16 I in the strength of God the LORD with joy will still go on; I'll celebrate thy righteousness, yea mention thine alone. 17 From my youth up, O gracious GOD, Thou hast instructed me: And hitherto I have declar'd the wonders wrought by Thee. 18 And now forsake me not, o GOD, while old and grey I grow; till to this age, and all to come thy mighty pow'r I show. 19 Also thy righteousness, O GOD, is high exceedingly; Great are the tings which Thou hast wrought, O GOD, who's like to Thee! [4 Part] 20 Thou, who hast caused me to see afflictions great and sore, Wilt turn, revive me, and with joy from depths of earth restore. 21 Yea more than this; Thou wilt ev'n cause my greatness to abound; And with exceeding comfort Thou wilt wholly me surround. 22 I with the psalt'ry will Thee praise, Thy truth, my God, make known; And with the harp I'll sing to Thee, O Isr'el's HOLY ONE 23 Now greatly will my lips rejoyce, while I sing praise to Thee; So shall my soul because thou hast, redeem'd and set it free. 24 And as Thou those who sought my hurt, confounded hast with shame; My grateful tongue thy righteousness shall ev'ry day proclaim.

Thy justice and salvation, Lord
