My Maker, Be Thou Nigh
Author: E. Taylor; Johann J. Rambach, d. 1735 Meter: 6.6.6.6.7.7.7.7.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 119:8 Lyrics: 1 My Maker, be Thou nigh
The light of life to give
And guide me with Thine eye
While here on earth I live.
To Thee my heart I tender
And all my pow'rs surrender;
Make it my one endeavor
To love and serve Thee ever.
Upon Thy promise I rely;
My Maker, be Thou nigh.
2 My Savior, wash me clean
With Thy most precious blood,
That takes away all sin
And seals my peace with God.
My soul in peace abideth
When in Thy wounds it hideth.
There I find full salvation
And freedom from damnation.
Without Thee lost, defiled by sin,
My Savior, wash me clean.
3 My Comforter, give pow'r
That I may stand secure
When in temptation's hour
The world and sin allure.
The Son to me revealing,
Inspire my tho't and feeling,
His Word of grace to ponder,
Nor let me from Him wander.
On me Thy gifts and graces show'r:
My Comforter, give pow'r!
4 O Holy Trinity!
To whom I all things owe,
Thine image graciously
Within my heart bestow.
Choose me, tho' weak and lowly,
To be Thy temple holy
Where praise shall rise unending
For grace so condescending.
O heav'nly bliss, Thine own to be,
O Holy Trinity!
Amen. Topics: Confirmation Used With Tune: MEIN SCHÖPFER, STEH MIR BEI

O God, whose former Mercies make
Appears in 5 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 119 Lyrics: 1 O God, whose former Mercies make
my constant Praise thy Due,
Hold not thy Peace, but my sad State
with wonted Favour view.
2 For sinful Men, with lying Lips,
deceitful Speeches frame,
And with their study'd Slanders seek
to wound my spotless Fame.
3 Their restless hatred prompts them still
malicious Lies to spread;
And all against my Life combine,
by causeless Fury led.
4 Those whom with tend'rest Love I us'd,
my chief Opposers are;
Whilst I, of other Friends bereft,
resort to thee by Pray'r.
5 Since Mischief, for the Good I did,
their strange Reward does prove;
And Hatred's the Return they make
for undissembled Love:
6 Their guilty Leader shall be made
to some ill Man a Slave;
And when he's try'd, his mortal Foe
for his Accuser have.
7 His Guilt, when Sentence is pronounc'd,
shall meet a dreadful Fate,
Whilst his rejected Pray'r but serves
his Crimes to aggravate.
8 He snatch'd by some untimely Fate,
shan't live out half his Days:
Another, by Divine Decree,
shall on his office seize.
9,10 His Seed shall Orphans be, his Wife
a Widow plung'd in Grief;
His vagrant Children beg their Bread,
where none can give Relief.
11 His ill got Riches shall be made
to Usurers a Prey;
The Fruit of all his Toil shall be
by Strangers born away.
12 None shall be found that to his Wants
their Mercy will extend,
Or to his helpless Orphan Seed
the least Assistance lend.
13 A swift Destruction soon shall seize
on his unhappy Race;
And the next Age his hated Name
shall utterly deface.
14 The Vengeance of his Father's Sins,
upon his Head shall fall;
God on his Mother's Crimes shall think,
and punish him for all.
15 All these in horrid Order rank'd,
before the Lord shall stand,
'Till his fierce Anger quite cuts off
their Mem'ry from the Land.
Part II
16 Because he never Mercy shew'd,
but still the Poor oppress'd;
And sought to slay the helpless Man,
with heavy Woes distress'd.
17 Therefore the Curse he lov'd to vent,
shall his own Portion prove;
And Blessing, which he still abhorr'd,
shall far from him remove.
18 Since he in cursing took such pride,
like Water it shall spread
Thro' all his Veins, and stick like Oil
with which his Bones are fed.
19 This, like a poison'd Robe, shall still
his constant Cov'ring be;
Or an envonom'd Belt, from which
he never shall be free.
20 Thus shall the Lord reward all those
that Ill to me design;
That with malicious false Reports
against my Life combine.
21 But for thy glorious Name, o God,
do thou deliver me;
And for thy gracious Mercy's Sake,
preserve and set me free:
23 For I, to utmost Straits reduc'd,
am void of all Relief;
My Heart is wounded with Distress,
and quite pierc'd thro' with Grief.
23 I, like an Ev'ning Shade, decline,
which vanishes apace:
Like Locusts up and down I'm toss'd,
and have no certain Place.
24,25 My Knees with Fasting are grown weak,
my body lank and lean;
All that behold me shake their heads,
and treat me with Disdain.
26,27 But for thy Mercies sake, O Lord,
do thou my Foes withstand;
That all may see 'tis thy own Act,
the Work of thy right hand.
28 Then let them curse, so thou but bless;
let Shame the Portion be
Of all that my Destruction seek,
while I rejoice in thee.
29 My Foes shall with disgrace be cloath'd,
and spite of all his Pride,
His own Confusion, like a Cloak,
the guilty Wretch shall hide.
30 But I to God, in grateful Thanks,
my chearful Voice will raise;
And where the great Assembly meets,
set forth his noble Praise.
31 For him the Poor shall always find
their sure and constant Friend;
And he shall from unrighteous Dooms
their guiltless souls defend.

Lord, We Hear Your Word with Gladness
Author: Margaret Clarkson, b. 1915 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 5 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 119:1-8 Lyrics: 1 Lord, we hear your Word with gladness:
you have spoken - we rejoice:
words of love and life and freedom
help us make their truth our choice!
Now in holy celebration
for your Word we worship you;
spoken, written, known in Jesus,
ours today to prove anew.
2 May we hear with understanding,
by your Spirit taught and led.
May the springs of all our being
by your living Word be fed.
May our hearts accept with meekness
all the grace your light makes known.
May obedience mark our footsteps
till we make each word our own.
3 You have spoken; yours the fullness,
ours the wealth of this, your Word.
Debtors, then, as living letters,
we must make your gospel heard!
By your Spirit’s power transform us;
shed your saving light abroad
till our lives by love in action
show our world the truth of God!
