On Eagle's Wings
Jesus, Lover of My Soul
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3,238 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 91:4 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
Call Jehovah thy salvation
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 215 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 91 Lyrics:
Call Jehovah thy salvation,
Rest beneath the Almighty's shade,
In his secret habitation
Dwell, and never be dismay'd:
There no tumult shall alarm thee,
Thou shalt dread no hidden snare,
Guile nor violence can harm thee
In eternal safeguard there.
From the sword at noon-day wasting,
From the noisome pestilence,
In the depth of midnight blasting,
God shall be thy sure defence;
Fear not thou the deadly quiver,
When a thousand feel the blow,
Mercy shall thy soul deliver,
Though ten thousand be laid low.
Only with thine eyes the anguish
Of the wicked thou shalt see,
When by slow disease they languish,
When they perish suddenly:
149
Thee, though winds and waves be swelling,
God, thine hope, shall bear through all;
Plague shall not come nigh thy dwelling,
Thee no evil shall befall.
He shall charge his angel legions,
Watch and ward o'er thee to keep;
Though thou walk through hostile regions,
Though in desert wilds thou sleep:
On the lion vainly roaring,
On his young, thy foot shall tread,
And, the dragon's den exploring,
Thou shalt bruise the Serpent's head.
Since, with pure and firm affection,
Thou on God hast set thy love,
With the wings of His protection
He will shield thee from above:
Thou shalt call on Him in trouble,
He will hearken, He will save,
Here for grief reward thee double,
Crown with life beyond the grave.

Psalm 91 Part 1
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 112 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 91:1-7 First Line: He that hath made his refuge God Lyrics:
He that hath made his refuge God
Shall find a most secure abode,
Shall walk all day beneath his shade,
And there at night shall rest his head.
Then will I say, "My God, thy power
Shall be my fortress and my tower;
I, that am formed of feeble dust,
Make thine almighty arm my trust."
Thrice happy man! thy Maker's care
Shall keep thee from the fowler's snare;
Satan, the fowler, who betrays
Unguarded souls a thousand ways.
Just as a hen protects her brood
From birds of prey that seek their blood,
Under her feathers, so the Lord
Makes his own arm his people's guard.
If burning beams of noon conspire
To dart a pestilential fire,
God is their life; his wings are spread
To shield them with a healthful shade.
If vapors with malignant breath
Rise thick, and scatter midnight death,
Isr'el is safe; the poisoned air
Grows pure, if Isr'el's God be there.
What though a thousand at thy side,
At thy right hand ten thousand died,
Thy God his chosen people saves
Amongst the dead, amidst the graves.
So when he sent his angel down
To make his wrath in Egypt known,
And slew their sons, his careful eye
Passed all the doors of Jacob by.
But if the fire, or plague, or sword,
Receive commission from the Lord
To strike his saints among the rest,
Their very pains and deaths are blest.
The sword, the pestilence, or fire,
Shall but fulfil their best desire;
From sins and sorrows set them free,
And bring thy children, Lord, to thee.

and our couch become our tomb,
may the morn in heav'n awake us,
clad in light and deathless bloom.

The Man Who Once Has Found Abode
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 38 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 91:1-14 Lyrics: 1 The man who once has found abode,
within the secret place of God
shall with Almighty God abide,
and in his shadow safely hide.
2 I therefore of the Lord will say,
he is my refuge and my stay;
my citadel of strength is he —
My God in whom my trust shall be.
3 For he shall with his watchful care
preserve thee from the fowler's snare;
yea, he shall be thy sure defense
against the deadly pestilence.
4 His outspread pinions shall thee hide,
beneath his wings shalt thou confide.
His faithfulness shall ever be
a shield and buckler unto thee.
5 No nightly terrors shall alarm,
no deadly shaft by day shall harm;
nor pestilence that walks by night,
nor plagues that waste in noonday light.
6 Because his angels he commands
to bear thee safely in their hands,
to guard thy ways, lest left alone,
thou dash thy foot against a stone.
7 "Because he set his love on Me,
from danger I will set him free.
Because to him My name is known,
On high I'll set him as Mine own."

Under His Wings I Am Safely Abiding
He that has God his Guardian made
Appears in 38 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 91 Lyrics: 1 He that has God his Guardian made,
Shall, under the Almighty's Shade
Secure and undisturb'd abide.
2 Thus to my Soul of Him I'll say,
He is my Fortress and my Stay,
My God in whom I will confide.
3 His tender Love and watchful Care
Shall free thee from the Fowler's Snare,
And from the noisome Pestilence:
4 He over thee his Wings shall spread,
And cover thy unguarded Head;
His Truth shall be thy strong Defence.
5 No Terrors that surprize by Night,
Shall thy undaunted courage fright,
Nor deadly Shafts that fly by Day;
6 Nor Plague, of unknown Rise, that kills
In Darkness, nor infectious Ills
That in the hottest Season slay.
7 A Thousand at thy side shall die,
At thy right hand ten thousand lie,
While thy firm Health untouch'd remains:
8 Thou only shalt look on and see
The Wicked's sad Catastrophe,
And count the sinner's mournful Gains.
9 Because (with well-plac'd Confidence)
Thou mak'st the Lord thy sure Defence,
And on the Highest do'st rely;
10 Therefore no Ill shall thee befal,
Nor to thy healthful Dwelling shall
Any infectious Plague draw nigh.
11 For he throughout thy happy Days,
To keep thee safe in all thy Ways,
Shall give his Angels strict Commands;
12 And they, lest thou should'st chance to meet
With some rough Stone to wound thy Feet,
Shall bear thee safely in their Hands.
13 Dragons and Asps that thirst for Blood,
And Lions roaring for their Food,
Beneath his conqu'ring Feet shall lie.
14 Because he lov'd and honour'd me,
Therefore (says God) I'll set him free,
And fix his glorious Throne on high.
15 He'll call; I'll answer when he calls,
And rescue him when Ill befals;
Increase his Honour and his Wealth:
16 And when, with undistrub'd Content,
His long and happy Life is spent,
His End I'll crown with saving Health.
He that has God his Guardian made
A Mighty Fortress Is Our God
Author: Martin Luther; Frederick Henry Hedge Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Appears in 680 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 91:2 Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God,
a bulwark never failing.
Our helper he, amid the flood
of mortal ills prevailing.
For still our ancient foe
doth seek to work us woe.
His craft and power are great,
and armed with cruel hate,
on earth is not his equal.
2 Did we in our own strength confide,
our striving would be losing,
were not the right man on our side,
the man of God's own choosing.
Dost ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is he.
Lord Sabaoth his name,
from age to age the same,
and he must win the battle.
3 And though this world, with devils filled,
should threaten to undo us,
we will not fear, for God hath willed
his truth to triumph through us.
The Prince of Darkness grim,
we tremble not for him.
His rage we can endure,
for lo, his doom is sure.
One little word shall fell him.
4 That word above all earthly powers,
no thanks to them, abideth.
The Spirit and the gifts are ours
through him who with us sideth.
Let goods and kindred go,
this mortal life also.
The body they may kill;
God's truth abideth still.
His kingdom is forever.

Psalm 91: He that doth in the secret place
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 12 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 91 First Line: He that doth in the secret place Lyrics:
1He that doth in the secret place
of the most High reside,
Under the shade of him that is
th’ Almighty shall abide.
2I of the Lord my God will say,
He is my refuge still,
He is my fortress, and my God,
and in him trust I will.
3Assuredly he shall thee save,
and give deliverance
From subtile fowler’s snare, and from
the noisome pestilence.
4His feathers shall thee hide; thy trust
under his wings shall be:
His faithfulness shall be a shield
and buckler unto thee.
5Thou shalt not need to be afraid
for terrors of the night;
Nor for the arrow that doth fly
by day, while it is light;
6Nor for the pestilence, that walks
in darkness secretly;
Nor for destruction, that doth waste
at noon-day openly.
7A thousand at thy side shall fall,
on thy right hand shall lie
Ten thousand dead; yet unto thee
it shall not once come nigh.
8Only thou with thine eyes shalt look,
and a beholder be;
And thou therein the just reward
of wicked men shalt see.
9Because the Lord, who constantly
my refuge is alone,
Ev’n the most High, is made by thee
thy habitation;
10No plague shall near thy dwelling come;
no ill shall thee befall:
11For thee to keep in all thy ways
his angels charge he shall.
12They in their hands shall bear thee up,
still waiting thee upon;
Lest thou at any time should’st dash
thy foot against a stone.
13Upon the adder thou shalt tread,
and on the lion strong;
Thy feet on dragons trample shall,
and on the lions young.
14Because on me he set his love,
I’ll save and set him free;
Because my great name he hath known,
I will him set on high.
15He’ll call on me, I’ll answer him;
I will be with him still
In trouble, to deliver him,
and honour him I will.
16With length of days unto his mind
I will him satisfy;
I also my salvation
will cause his eyes to see.

O Worship the King, All Glorious Above!
Author: Robert Grant Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 1,148 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 91:4 Lyrics: 1 O worship the King, all glorious above!
O gratefully sing God's power and God’s love:
our shield and defender, the Ancient of Days,
pavilioned in splendor and girded with praise.
2 O tell of God's might; O sing of God's grace,
whose robe is the light, whose canopy space,
whose chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form;
and bright is God's path on the wings of the storm.
3 The earth with its store of wonders untold,
Almighty, your power has founded of old;
established it fast by a changeless decree,
and round it has cast, like a mantle, the sea.
4 Your bountiful care what tongue can recite?
It breathes in the air; it shines in the light;
it streams from the hills; it descends to the plain,
and sweetly distills in the dew and the rain.
5 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,
in you do we trust, nor find you to fail;
your mercies, how tender, how firm to the end,
our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend.

Beneath the cross of Jesus
Author: Elizabeth C. Clephane, 1830-1869 Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 528 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 91:6 Lyrics: 1 Beneath the cross of Jesus
I fain would take my stand,
the shadow of a mighty rock
within a weary land;
a home within the wilderness,
a rest upon the way,
from burning heart at noontide
and the burden of the day.
2 O safe and happy shelter!
O refuge tried and sweet!
O trysting place where heaven's love
and heaven's justice meet!
As to the holy patriarch
that wondrous dream was given,
so seems my Saviour's cross to me
a ladder up to heav'n.
3 There lies, beneath its shadow
but on the farther side,
the darkness of an awful grave
that gapes both deep and wide;
and there between us stands the cross,
two arms outstretched to save;
a watchman set to guard the way
from that eternal grave.
4 Upon that cross of Jesus
mine eyes at times can see
the very dying form of One
who suffered there for me;
and from my strikes heart, with tears,
two wonders I confess -
the wonders of redeeming love,
and my unworthiness.
5 I take, O cross, thy shadow
for my abiding place!
I ask no other sunshine than
the sunshine of his face;
content to let the world go by,
to reckon gain as loss -
my sinful self, my only shame,
my glory all - the cross. Topics: Passiontide; Protection; Redemption and Salvation; Year A Proper 11; Year C Proper 21 Used With Tune: ST CHRISTOPHER

the strong Name of the Trinity;

the Three in One, and One in Three.
2 I bind this day to me for ever,
by power of faith, Christ's Incarnation;

his death on cross for my salvation;
his bursting from the spicèd tomb;
his riding up the heavenly way;
his coming at the day of doom:
I bind unto myself today.

the virtues of the star-lit heaven,
the glorious sun's life-giving ray,
the whiteness of the moon at even,
the flashing of the lightning free,
the whirling wind's tempestuous shocks,
the stable earth, the deep salt sea
around the old eternal rocks.
4 I bind unto myself today
the power of God to hold and lead,
his eye to watch, his might to stay,
his ear to hearken to my need,
the wisdom of my God to teach,
his hand to guide, his shield to ward,
the word of God to give me speech,
his heavenly host to be my guard.

salvation is of Christ the Lord. Amen. Topics: The Being of God Holy and One; The Church Celebrates Confirmation; God In Creation; God in Trinity; God Protection of; Jesus Life and Ministry Used With Tune: ST. PATRICK
