Thee will I love, O Lord, my Strength

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P18a (1766) Topics: Spiritual Enemies overcome Lyrics: 1 Thee will I love, O Lord, my Strength, My Rock, my Tow'r, my high Defence; Thy mighty Arm shall be my Trust, For I have found Salvation thence. 2 Death, and the Terrors of the Grave, Stood round me with their dismal Shade; While Floods of high Temptations rose, And made my sinking Soul afraid. 3 I saw the op'ning Gates of Hell With endless Pains and Sorrows there, (Which none but they that feel can tell) While I was hurry'd to despair. 4 In my Distress I call'd my GOD, When I could scarce believe him mine; He bow'd his Ear to my Complaint; Then did his Grace appear divine. 5 [With Speed he flew to my Relief, As on a Cherub's Wing he rode; Awful and bright as Lightning shone The Face of my Deliv'rer GOD. 6 Temptations fled at his Rebuke, The Blast of his Almighty Breath; He sent Salvation from on high, And drew me from the Deeps of Death.] 7 Great were my Fears, my Foes were great, Much was their Strength, and more their Rage; But Christ, my Lord, is Conqu'ror still In all the Wars that Devils wage. 8 My Song for ever shall record That terrible, that joyful Hour; And give the Glory to the Lord Due to his Mercy and his Power. Scripture: Psalm 18:1-6 Languages: English

Lord, thou hast seen my Soul sincere

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P18b (1766) Topics: Spiritual Enemies overcome Lyrics: 1 Lord, thou hast seen my Soul sincere, Hast made thy Truth and Love appear; Before mine Eyes I set thy Laws, And thou hast own'd my righteous Cause. 2 Since I have learn'd thy holy Ways, I've walk'd upright before thy Face; Or if my Feet did e'er depart, 'Twas never with a wicked Heart. 3 What sore Temptations broke my Rest! What Wars and Strugglings in my Breast! But thro' thy Grace, that reigns within I guard against my darling Sin. 4 That Sin which close besets me still, That works and strives against my Will; When shall thy Spirit's Sov'reign Pow'r Destroy it that it rise no more? 5 With an impartial Hand the Lord Deals out to Mortals their Reward; The kind and faithful Soul shall find A GOD as faithful and as kind. 6 The Just and Pure shall ever say, Thou art more pure, more just than they; And Men that love Revenge, shall know God hath an Arm of Vengeance too.

The Lightning of his Spear? 4 He rides upon the winged Wind, And Angels in Array In Millions wait to know his Mind, And swift as Flames obey. 5 He speaks, and at his fierce Rebuke Whole Armies are dismay'd; His Voice, his Frown, his angry Look, Strikes all their Courage dead. 6 He forms our Gen'rals for the Field, With all their dreadful Skill; Gives them his awful Sword to wield, And makes their Hearts of Steel. 7 [He arms our Captains to the Fight, (Tho' there his Name's forgot) He girded Cyrus with his Might, But Cyrus knew him not. 8 Oft has the Lord whole Nations blest, For his own Church's Sake; The Pow'rs that give his People Rest, Shall of his Care partake.] Scripture: Psalm 18 Languages: English

Questions and doubts be heard no more

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #115 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Spiritual enemies overcome Lyrics: Questions and doubts be heard no more, Let Christ and joy be all our theme; His Spirit seals his gospel sure, To every soul that trusts in him. Jesus, thy witness speaks within; The mercy which thy words reveal Refines the heart from sense and sin, And stamps its own celestial seal. 'Tis God's inimitable hand That molds and forms the heart anew; Blasphemers can no more withstand, But bow, and own thy doctrine true. The guilty wretch that trusts thy blood Finds peace and pardon at the cross; The sinful soul, averse to God, Believes and loves his Maker's laws. Learning and wit may cease their strife, When miracles with glory shine; The voice that calls the dead to life Must be almighty and divine. Scripture: 1 John 5:10 Languages: English

Shepherds! rejoice, lift up your eyes

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #216 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Spiritual enemies overcome Lyrics: "Shepherds, rejoice! lift up your eyes, And send your fears away; News from the regions of the skies, Salvation's born to-day. "Jesus, the God whom angels fear, Comes down to dwell with you; Today he makes his entrance here, But not as monarchs do. "No gold nor purple swaddling bands. Nor royal shining things; A manger for his Cradle stands, And holds the King of kings. "Go, shepherds, where the infant lies, And see his humble throne With tears of joy in all your eyes, Go, shepherds, kiss the Son." Thus Gabriel sang, and straight around The heav'nly armies throng; They tune their harps to lofty sound, And thus conclude the song: "Glory to God that reigns above! Let peace surround the earth! Mortals shall know their Maker's love, At their Redeemer's birth." Lord, and shall angels have their songs, And men no tunes to raise? O may we lose our useless tongues When they forget to praise. Glory to God that reigns above, That pitied us forlorn; We join to sing our Maker's love, For there's a Savior born. Scripture: Luke 2:10 Languages: English

Happy the heart where graces reign

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #310 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Spiritual enemies overcome Lyrics: Happy the heart where graces reign, Where love inspires the breast; Love is the brightest of the train, And strengthens all the rest. Knowledge, alas! 'tis all in vain, And all in vain our fear; Our stubborn sins will fight and reign, If love be absent there. 'Tis love that makes our cheerful feet In swift obedience move; The devils know and tremble too, But Satan cannot love. This is the grace that lives and sings When faith and hope shall cease; 'Tis this shall strike our joyful strings In the sweet, realms of bliss. Before we quite forsake our clay, Or leave this dark abode, The wings of love bear us away To see our smiling God. Scripture: Psalm 18:15-18 Languages: English

Now shall my inward joys arise

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #495 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Spiritual enemies overcome Lyrics: Now shall my inward joys arise, And burst into a song; Almighty love inspires my heart, And pleasure tunes my tongue. God on his thirsty Zion hill Some mercy drops has thrown, And solemn oaths have bound his love To shower salvation down. Why do we then indulge our fears, Suspicions, and complaints? Is he a God, and shall his grace Grow weary of his saints? Can a kind woman e'er forget The infant of her womb? And 'mongst a thousand tender thoughts Her suckling have no room? "Yet," saith the Lord, "should nature change, And mothers monsters prove, Zion still dwells upon the heart Of everlasting love. "Deep on the palms of both my hands I have engraved her name; My hands shall raise her ruined walls, And build her broken frame?" Scripture: Isaiah 49:13 Languages: English
