Psalm 71 Part 1
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 115 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 71:5-9 First Line: My God, my everlasting hope Lyrics:
My God, my everlasting hope,
I live upon thy truth;
Thine hands have held my childhood up,
And strengthened all my youth.
My flesh was fashioned by thy power,
With all these limbs of mine;
And from my mother's painful hour,
I've been entirely thine.
Still has my life new wonders seen
Repeated every year;
Behold, my days that yet remain,
I trust them to thy care.
Cast me not off when strength declines,
When hoary hairs arise;
And round me let thy glory shine,
Whene'er thy servant dies.
Then in the hist'ry of my age,
When men review my days,
They'll read thy love in every page,
In every line thy praise.

with heart and hands and voices,
who wondrous things has done,

with countless gifts of love,
and still is ours today.
2 Oh, may this bounteous God
through all our life be near us,
with ever-joyful hearts
and blessèd peace to cheer us,
to keep us in his grace,
and guide us when perplexed,
and free us from all ills
in this world and the next.
3 All praise and thanks to God
who reigns in highest heaven --
the Father and the Son
and Spirit -- now be given:
the one, eternal God,
whom earth and heaven adore;
for thus it was, is now,
and shall be evermore. Topics: Our Response to God in adoration and gratitude; Family and Friends; God in Trinity; Mothering Sunday; Providence Used With Tune: NUN DANKET

Rejoicing in Hope
Appears in 308 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 71 First Line: My Saviour, my Almighty friend Lyrics: 1 My Saviour, my Almighty friend,
When I begin thy praise;
Where will the growing numbers end,
The numbers of thy grace?
2 Thou art my everlasting trust,
Thy goodness I adore!
Send down thy grace, O blessed LORD,
That I may love thee more
3 My feet shall travel all the length,
Of the celestial road;
And march with courage in thy strength
To see the LORD my GOD.
4 How will my lips rejoice to tell
The vict'ries of my King!
My soul redeem'd from sin and hell,
Shall thy salvation sing.
5 My tongue shall all the day proclaim,
My Saviour and my GOD;
His death hat brought my foes to shame
And drown'd them in his blood.

Lord of All Hopefulness
All my hope on God is founded
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
All my hope on God is founded
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.
In Thee I put my stedfast Trust
Psalm 71: O Lord, my hope and confidence
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 13 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 71 First Line: O Lord, my hope and confidence Lyrics:
1O Lord, my hope and confidence
is plac’d in thee alone;
Then let thy servant never be
put to confusion.
2And let me, in thy righteousness,
from thee deliv’rance have;
Cause me escape, incline thine ear
unto me, and me save.
3Be thou my dwelling-rock, to which
I ever may resort:
Thou gav’st commandment me to save,
for thou’rt my rock and fort.
4Free me, my God, from wicked hands,
hands cruel and unjust:
5For thou, O Lord God, art my hope,
and from my youth my trust.
6Thou from the womb didst hold me up;
thou art the same that me
Out of my mother’s bowels took;
I ever will praise thee.
7To many I a wonder am;
but thou’rt my refuge strong.
8Fill’d let my mouth be with thy praise
and honour all day long.
9O do not cast me off, when as
old age doth overtake me;
And when my strength decayed is,
then do not thou forsake me.
10For those that are mine enemies
against me speak with hate;
And they together counsel take
that for my soul lay wait.
11They said, God leaves him; him pursue
and take: none will him save.
12Be thou not far from me, my God:
thy speedy help I crave.
13Confound, consume them, that unto
my soul are enemies:
Cloth’d be they with reproach and shame
that do my hurt devise.
14But I with expectation
will hope continually;
And yet with praises more and more
I will thee magnify.
15Thy justice and salvation
my mouth abroad shall show,
Ev’n all the day; for I thereof
the numbers do not know.
16And I will constantly go on
in strength of God the Lord;
And thine own righteousness, ev’n thine
alone, I will record.
17For even from my youth, O God,
by thee I have been taught;
And hitherto I have declar’d
the wonders thou hast wrought.
18And now, Lord, leave me not, when I
old and gray-headed grow:
Till to this age thy strength and pow’r
to all to come I show.
19And thy most perfect righteousness
O Lord, is very high,
Who hast so great things done: O God,
who is like unto thee?
20Thou, Lord, who great adversities,
and sore, to me didst show,
Shalt quicken, and bring me again
from depths of earth below.
21My greatness and my pow’r thou wilt
increase, and far extend:
On ev’ry side against all grief
thou wilt me comfort send.
22Thee, ev’n thy truth, I’ll also praise,
my God, with psaltery:
Thou Holy One of Israel,
with harp I’ll sing to thee.
23My lips shall much rejoice in thee,
when I thy praises sound;
My soul, which thou redeemed hast,
in joy shall much abound.
24My tongue thy justice shall proclaim,
continuing all day long;
For they confounded are, and sham’d,
that seek to do me wrong.

Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me
Author: Augustus M. Toplady Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 2,905 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 71:3 Lyrics: 1 Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee;
Let the water and the blood,
From Thy wounded side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure,
Cleanse me from its guilt and power.
2 Not the labors of my hands
Can fulfill Thy law's demands;
Could my zeal no respite know,
Could my tears forever flow,
All for sin could not atone,
Thou must save, and Thou alone.
3 Nothing in my hand I bring,
Simply to Thy cross I cling;
Naked, come to Thee for dress,
Helpless, look to Thee for grace;
Foul, I to the fountain fly;
Wash me, Saviour, or I die.
4 While I draw this fleeting breath,
When my eyelids close in death,
When I soar to worlds unknown,
See Thee on Thy judgment throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee.

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.
Jehovah in my great distress
In te Domine
Author: J. H. Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 71 First Line: My Lord my God is all distresse Lyrics: 1 My Lord my God in all distresse,
my hope is whole, in thee:
Then let no shame my souel oppresse,
nor once take hold on me.
2 As thou art just defend me Lord,
and rid me out of dread:
Give eare and to my suit accord,
and send me help at need,
3 Be thou my rock, to whom I may
for aid all times resort:
Thy promise is to help alway,
thou art my fence and fort.
4 Save me, my God, from, winked men,
and from their strength and power;
From folk unjust, and eke from them
that cruelly devoure.
5 Thou art my stay whereon I trust,
thou, Lord of hoasts art he:
Yea from my youth I had a lust.
still to depend on thee:
6 Thou hast me kept even from my birth,
and I through thee was born:
Wherefore I will thee praise with mirth
both evening and at morn.
7 As to a monster seldome seen,
much folk about me throng:
But thou art now and still hast been
my fence and aid so strong.
8 Wherefore my mouth no time shall lack
thy glory and thy praise:
And eke my tongue shall not be slack
To honour thee alwaiess.
9 Refuse me not O Lord, I say,
when age my limbs doth take:
And when my strength doth wast away,
do not my soule forsake.
10 Among themselves my foes enquire
to take me through deceit.
And they against me do conspire.
that for my soule laid wait.
The second Part:
11 Lay hand and take him now they said
for God from him is gone:
Dispatch him quite, for to his aid.
(I wis) there cometh none.
12 Do not absent thy selfe away,
O Lord when need shall be:
But that in time of griefe thou may
in hast give help to me.
13 With shame confound and overthrow
all those that seek my life:
Oppresse them with rebuke also,
that faine would work me strife.
14 But I will patiently abide
thy help at all assayes:
Still more and more, each time and tide,
I will set forth thy praise.
15 My mouth thy justice shall record,
that daily help doth send:
For of thy benefits O Lord,
I know no count nor end.
16 Yet will I go and seek forth one,
with thy good help O God,
The saving health of thee alone,
to shew and set abroad.
17 For of my youth thou tookst the care,
and dost instruct me still:
Therefore thy wonders to declare
I have great mind and will.
18 And as in youth from wanton rage,
thou didst me keep and stay:
Forsake me not unto mine age,

And eke my soule will much rejoyce
for thou hast set me free.

and speak it daily still:

that seek to work me ill.

When all thy mercies, O my God
Author: Joseph Addison, 1672-1719 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,001 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 71:5-8 Lyrics: 1 When all thy mercies, O my God,
my rising soul surveys,
transported with the view, I'm lost
in wonder, love, and praise.
2 Unnumbered comforts to my soul
thy tender care bestowed,
before my infant heart conceived
from whom those comforts flowed.
3 When in the slippery paths of youth
with heedless steps I ran,
thine arm unseen conveyed me safe,
and led me up to man.
*4 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts
my daily thanks employ,
and not the least a cheerful heart
which tastes those gifts with joy.
5 Through every period of my life
thy goodness I'll pursue,
and after death in distant worlds
the glorious theme renew.
6 Through all eternity to thee,
a joyful song I'll raise;
for O, eternity's too short
to utter all thy praise. Topics: Proper 13 Year C; Proper 19 Year B Used With Tune: CONTEMPLATION

Not to the terrors of the Lord
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 186 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 71:5-9 Lyrics:
Not to the terrors of the Lord,
The tempest, fire, and smoke;
Not to the thunder of that word
Which God on Sinai spoke;
But we are come to Zion's hill,
The city of our God,
Where milder words declare his will,
And spread his love abroad.
Behold th' innumerable host
Of angels clothed in light!
Behold the spirits of the just,
Whose faith is turned to sight!
Behold the blest assembly there
Whose names are writ in heav'n!
And God, the Judge of all, declares
Their vilest sins forgiv'n.
The saints on earth and all the dead
But one communion make;
All join in Christ their living Head,
And of his grace partake.
In such society as this
My weary soul would rest;
The man that dwells where Jesus is
Must be for ever blest.

Author: Anon.; Benjamin H. Kennedy; Joachim Magdeburg; William Walsham How Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 67 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 71:3 Lyrics: 1 Who trusts in God, a strong abode
In heaven and earth possesses;
Who looks in love to Christ above,
No fear his heart oppresses.
In Thee alone, dear Lord, we own
Sweet hope and consolation;
Our shield from foes, our balm for woes,
Our great and sure salvation.
2 Though Satan's wrath beset our path,
And worldly scorn assail us,
While Thou art near we will not fear,
Thy strength shall never fail us.
Thy rod and staff shall keep us safe,
And guide our steps forever;
Nor shades of death, nor hell beneath,
Our souls from Thee shall sever.
3 In all the strife of mortal life,
Our feet shall stand securely:
Temptation's hour shall lose its power,
For Thou shalt guard us surely.
O God, renew, with heavenly dew,
Our body, soul and spirit,
Until we stand at Thy right hand,
Through Jesus' saving merit.
