• [Mzm 18:1] I Love The Lord, His Strength Is Mine

  I love the Lord, His strength is mine; He is my God, I trust His grace; My Fortress high, my Shield divine, My Savior and my Hiding Place. From God the victory I receive; Most perfect is His holy way; His Word is tried, they who believe Will find the Lord their Shield and Stay. For who is God, and strong to save, Beside the Lord, our God of might? ’Tis He that makes me strong and brave, The Lord Who guides my steps aright. Thy free salvation is my shield, My sure defense in every strait; Thy hand upholds me, lest I yield; Thy gentleness has made me great.

• [Mzm 18:1] O God, My Strength And Fortitude

  O God, my strength and fortitude In truth I will love Thee; Thou art my castle and defense In my necessity. My God, my Rock, in whom I trust, The Worker of my wealth, My Refuge, Buckler, and my Shield, The Horn of all my health. When I, beset with pain and grief, Prayed to my God for grace; Forthwith my God heard my complaint, Out of His holy place. The Lord descended from above, And bowed the heavens high, And underneath His feet He cast The darkness of the sky. On cherub and on cherubim Full royally He rode; And on the wings of all the winds Came flying all abroad. He brought me forth in open place, That so I might be free; And kept me safe, because He had A favor unto me. Unspotted are the ways of God, His Word is truly tried; He is a sure defense to such As in His ways abide.

• [Mzm 18:1] Thee Will I Love, My Strength, My Tower (wesley)

  Thee will I love, my Strength, my Tower, Thee will I love, my Joy, my Crown, Thee will I love with all my power, In all Thy works, and Thee alone; Thee will I love, till the pure fire Fill my whole soul with chaste desire. Ah, why did I so late Thee know, Thee, lovelier than the sons of men! Ah, why did I no sooner go To Thee, the only ease in pain! Ashamed, I sigh, and inly mourn, That I so late to Thee did turn. In darkness willingly I strayed, I sought Thee, yet from Thee I roved; Far wide my wandering thoughts were spread, Thy creatures more than Thee I loved; And now if more at length I see, ’Tis through Thy light and comes from Thee. I thank Thee, uncreated Sun, That Thy bright beams on me have shined; I thank Thee, who hast overthrown My foes, and healed my wounded mind; I thank Thee, whose enlivening voice Bids my freed heart in Thee rejoice. Uphold me in the doubtful race, Nor suffer me again to stray; Strengthen my feet with steady pace Still to press forward in Thy way; My soul and flesh, O Lord of might, Fill, satiate, with Thy heavenly light. Give to mine eyes refreshing tears, Give to my heart chaste, hallowed fires, Give to my soul, with filial fears, The love that all Heaven’s host inspires; That all my powers, with all their might, In Thy sole glory may unite. Thee will I love, my joy, my crown, Thee will I love, my Lord, my God; Thee will I love, beneath Thy frown, Or smile, Thy scepter, or Thy rod; What though my flesh and heart decay? Thee shall I love in endless day!

• [Mzm 18:1] Thee Will I Love, O Lord, My Strength

  Thee will I love, O Lord, my strength, My rock, my tower, my high defense; Thy mighty arm shall be my trust, For I have found salvation thence. 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. I saw the opening gates of hell, With endless pains and sorrows there, Which none but they that feel can tell; While I was hurried to despair. In my distress I called my God, When I could scarce believe Him mine: He bowed His ear to my complaint, Then did His grace appear divine. 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 Deliverer, God. 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. Great were my fears, my foes were great, Much was their strength, and more their rage; But Christ, my Lord, is conqueror still, In all the wars that devils wage. 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.

  We love Thee, Lord, and we adore; Now is Thine arm revealed: Thou art our strength, our heav’nly tower, Our bulwark and our shield. We fly to our eternal Rock, And find a sure defense; His holy Name our lips invoke, And draw salvation thence. When God, our Leader, shines in arms, What mortal heart can bear The thunder of His loud alarms, The lightning of His spear? He rides upon the wingèd wind, And angels in array In millions wait to know His mind, And swift as flames obey. He speaks, and at His fierce rebuke Whole armies are dismayed; His voice, His frown, His angry look, Strikes all their courage dead. He forms our generals for the field, With all their dreadful skill; Gives them His awful sword to wield, And makes their hearts of steel. He arms our captains to the fight, Though there His name’s forgot; He girded Cyrus with His might, But Cyrus knew Him not. Oft has the Lord whole nations blessed For His own church’s sake; The powers that give His people rest, Shall of His care partake.

  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; Save from wrath and make me pure. Not the labor 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. Nothing in my hand I bring, Simply to the cross I cling; Naked, come to Thee for dress; Helpless look to Thee for grace; Foul, I to the fountain fly; Wash me, Savior, or I die. While I draw this fleeting breath, When mine eyes shall close in death, [originally When my eye-strings break 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.

And from above the Lord sent down To fetch me from below, And plucked me out of waters great That would me overflow.

Teach us, Lord, Thy wisdom, while we seek men’s lore; May the mind be humbled as we know Thee more; Let the larger vision bring the childlike heart, And our deeper knowledge holier zeal impart.

  Thou art my God, O God of grace, And earnestly I seek Thy face, My heart cries out for Thee; My spirit thirsts Thy grace to taste, An exile in this desert waste In which no waters be, In which no waters be. I long as in the times of old Thy power and glory to behold Within Thy holy place; Because Thy tender love I see, More precious far than life to me, My lips shall praise Thy grace, My lips shall praise Thy grace. Thus will I bless Thee while I live, And with uplifted hands will give Praise to Thy holy Name; When by Thy bounty well supplied, Then shall my soul be satisfied, My mouth shall praise proclaim, My mouth shall praise proclaim. My lips shall in Thy praise delight When on my bed I rest at night And meditate on Thee; Because Thy hand assistance brings, Beneath the shadow of Thy wings My heart shall joyful be, My heart shall joyful be.

• [Mzm 63:1] When Mother Love Makes All Things Bright

  When mother love makes all things bright, When joy comes with the morning light, When children gather round their tree, Thou Christmas Babe, we sing of Thee. When manhood’s brows are bent in thought To learn what men of old have taught, When eager hands seek wisdom’s key, Wise Temple Child, we learn of Thee. When doubts assail, and perils fright, When, groping blindly in the night, We strive to read life’s mystery, Man of the Mount, we turn to Thee. When shadows of the valley fall, When sin and death the soul appall, One light we through the darkness see— Christ on the Cross, we cry to Thee.

• [Mzm 63:1] While Thee I Seek, Protecting Power

  While Thee I seek, protecting Power, Be my vain wishes stilled; And may this consecrated hour With better hopes be filled. Thy love the power of thought bestowed; To Thee my thoughts would soar: Thy mercy o’er my life has flowed; That mercy I adore. In each event of life, how clear Thy ruling hand I see! Each blessing to my soul more dear, Because conferred by Thee. In every joy that crowns my days, In every pain I bear, My heart shall find delight in praise, Or seek relief in prayer. When gladness wings my favored hour, Thy love my thoughts shall fill; Resigned, when storms of sorrow lower, My soul shall meet Thy will. My lifted eye, without a tear, The gathering storm shall see: My steadfast heart shall know no fear; That heart will rest on Thee.

• [Mzm 63:2] O God, Thy Power Is Wonderful

  O God, Thy power is wonderful, Thy glory passing bright; Thy wisdom, with its deep on deep, A rapture to the sight. I see Thee in the eternal years In glory all alone, Ere round Thine uncreated fires Created light had shone. I see Thee walk in Eden’s shade, I see Thee all through time; Thy patience and compassion seem New attributes sublime. I see Thee when the doom is o’er, And outworn time is done, Still, still incomprehensible, O God, yet not alone. Angelic spirits, countless souls, Of Thee have drunk their fill; And to eternity will drink Thy joy and glory still. O little heart of mine! shall pain Or sorrow make thee moan, When all this God is all for thee, A Father all thine own?

• [Mzm 63:3] Savior, More Than Life

  Savior, more than life to me, I am clinging, clinging, close to Thee; Let Thy precious blood applied, Keep me ever, ever near Thy side. Refrain Every day, every hour, Let me feel Thy cleansing power; May Thy tender love to me Bind me closer, closer, Lord to Thee. Through this changing world below, Lead me gently, gently as I go; Trusting Thee, I cannot stray, I can never, never lose my way. Refrain Let me love Thee more and more, Till this fleeting, fleeting life is o’er; Till my soul is lost in love, In a brighter, brighter world above. Refrain

• [Mzm 63:4] Great God, Indulge My Humble Claim

  Great God, indulge my humble claim, Thou art my hope, my joy, my rest; The glories that compose Thy Name Stand all engaged to make me blest. Thou great and good, thou just and wise, Thou art my Father and my God; And I am Thine by sacred ties; Thy son, Thy servant, bought with blood. With heart, and eyes, and lifted hands, For Thee I long, to Thee I look, As travelers in thirsty lands Pant for the cooling water brook. With early feet I love t’ appear Among Thy saints, and seek Thy face; Oft have I seen Thy glory there, And felt the power of sovereign grace. Not fruits nor wines that tempt our taste, Nor all the joys our senses know, Could make me so divinely blest, Or raise my cheerful passions so. My life itself without Thy love No taste of pleasure could afford; ’Twould but a tiresome burden prove, If I were banished from the Lord. Amidst the wakeful hours of night, When busy cares afflict my head, One thought of Thee gives new delight, And adds refreshment to my bed. I’ll lift my hands, I’ll raise my voice, While I have breath to pray or praise; This work shall make my heart rejoice, And spend the remnant of my days.

• [Mzm 63:5] Jesus Satisfies

  When Jesus no longer stands preciously nigh, When sorrows like sea billows roll; I look to the Rock that is higher than I, And peace, wondrous peace floods my soul. Refrain Jesus satisfies, Jesus satisfies; Clouds at His presence roll away; Jesus satisfies, Jesus satisfies; His glory turns my darkness into day. The sun may be shining on fields bright and gay, With springtime perfumes in the breeze; Yet, life without Jesus is winter in May, Without Him no prospect can please. Refrain If living like Paul all victorious and free, Tho’ beaten while multitudes stare; Tho’ put behind bars ’twould be heaven to me, For Jesus will dwell with me there. Refrain If faithful in standing for what I believe Brings scoffing and fire, I can dare To laugh in the furnace where I am to burn, For Jesus will dwell with me there. Refrain

  Father, the watches of the night are o’er; To light and life the soul has ris’n once more; Blessèd be Thou, who, through the helpless hours, Hast kept in deepest peace her slumbering powers. Father, the watches of the day are here; More than from those of night have we to fear; By rude cares troubled, by temptations pressed, Through the day watches, Father, give us rest!

  Now, on land and sea descending, Brings the night its peace profound; Let our vesper hymn be blending With the holy calm around. Jubilate! Jubilate! Jubilate! Amen!

Mazmur 101:1-8

• [Mzm 101:1] Of Mercy And Of Justice

  Of mercy and of justice My thankful song shall be; O Lord, in joyful praises My song shall rise to Thee. Within my house I purpose To walk in wisdom’s way; O Lord, I need Thy presence; How long wilt Thou delay? On what is base and evil I will not set my heart; Transgressor’s ways abhorring, With them I take no part. No froward man or evil Shall my companion be; I will not suffer slander Or pride or treachery. The faithful and the upright Shall minister to me; The lying and deceitful My favor shall not see. I will in daily judgment All wickedness reward, And cleanse from evildoers The city of the Lord.

• [Mzm 101:1] To God The Anthem Raising

  To God the anthem raising, Sing, Christians, great and small; Sing out, His goodness praising, Oh, thank Him, one and all! Behold how God this year, Which now is safely ended, Hath in His love befriended His children far and near. Let us consider rightly His mercies manifold, And let us not think lightly Of all His gifts untold. Let thankfulness recall How God this year hath led us, How He hath clothed and fed us, The great ones and the small. To church and state He granted His peace in every place, His vineyard He hath planted Among us by His grace, His ever bounteous hand Prosperity hath given And want and famine driven From this our native land. His Father heart is yearning To take us for His own When, our transgressions mourning, We trust in Christ alone; When in His Name we pray And humbly make confession, He pardons our transgression And is our faithful Stay. Our God hath well defended, Hath kept us through His grace; But if He had contended With us our sins to trace And given us our meed, We all would then be lying In sin and sorrow, dying, Each one for his misdeed. O Father dear in Heaven, For all Thy gifts of love Which Thou to us hast given We lift our thanks above. In Jesus’ Name we here, To Thee our prayers addressing, Still ask Thee for Thy blessing: Grant us a joyful year.
