God of compassion, in mercy befriend us

Author: Rev. John J. Moment Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Confidence; Trust and Confidence Lyrics: 1 God of compassion, in mercy befriend us; Giver of grace for our needs all-availing, Wisdom and strength for each day do Thou send us, Patience untiring and courage unfailing. 2 Wandering and lost, Thou hast sought us and found us, Stilled our rude hearts with Thy word of consoling; Wrap now Thy peace, like a mantle, around us, Guarding our thoughts and our passions controlling. 3 How shall we stray, with Thy hand to direct us, Thou who the stars in their courses art guiding? What shall we fear, with Thy power to protect us, We who walk forth in Thy greatness confiding? Amen. Used With Tune: O QUANTA QUALIA

How many, Lord, there be

Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Description of Confidence of Believers in Dangers Lyrics: 1 How many, Lord, there be, that strive to trouble me, My Peace of Mind destroying! And as their Numbers grow so does their Hatred too, In my Afflictions joying. They do my Soul upbraid, thought GOD himself's my Aid, Yet know they not to fear him; Insultingly they cry, let him on GOD rely, The LORD now more will hear him. 3 But thou art my Defence, my Hope and Confidence, In thee alone are placed; My glory thou shalt raise, and to thy endless Praise, My Foes shall be disgraced. When like Distress was nigh, my sad and mournful Cry, Was to the LORD addressed; And from his holy Hill, he did my Wish fulfill, And all my Wrongs redressed. 3 In thy Protection blest, secure I take my Rest, No kind of Danger fearing; When Morning gilds the Skies, refresh'd again I rise, Sweet Sleep my Spirit cheering. Not all my Foes combin'd, disturb my Peace of Mind, Their Rage shall ne'er confound me. To thee I lift my Voice, and in thy Strength rejoice, Tho' thousands should surround me. 4 Arise, O GOD, arise! Disperse those Enemies, That are my Life pursuing; Let thy Almighty Hand, their utmost Pow'r withstand, And guard me safe from Ruin. To GOD, who is my Song, Salvation doth belong; And they shall be defended; Who hat lift up on high, their supplicating Cry, And on the LORD depended. Scripture: Psalm 3 Used With Tune: [How many, Lord, there be]

Who hath his dwelling made, beneath th' Almighty's Shade

Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Description of Confidence of Believers in Dangers Lyrics: 1 Who hath his Dwelling made, beneath th'Almighty's Shade, Shall securely there abide: Thus to my Soul I'll say, He is my Tow'r and Stay, In thee, LORD, I will confide. His tender Love and Care, Shall free thee from the Snare, And the noisome Pestilence; His shelt'ring Wings he'll spread, O'er thy unguarded Head, And his Truth is thy Defence. 2 No Terrors of the Night, Shall thy firm courage fright, Nor the Shafts that fly by Day; Nor secret Plague that kills, Nor those infectious Ills, Which in hottest Season slay: Near thee ten Thousand die, And strew'd around thee lie, Whilst thy Health untouch'd remains; Thou shalt look on and see, Their sad Catastrophe, Counting still the Sinners Gains. 3 Because with Confidence, On GOD, for thy Defence, Thou most firmly didst rely; Therefore no Sickness shall, Upon thy Dwelling fall, Nor shall any Plague draw nigh: For GOD, throughout thy Days, To guard thee in thy Ways, To his Angels gives Commands; And they, lest thou should'st meet, Rough Stones to wound thy Feet, Shall convey thee in their Hands. 4 In Safety he shall go; Lions and Dragons too, Underneath his Feet shall lie; Because he honour'd me, Saith GOD, I'll set him free, And will place his Throne on high: Whatever Ill befalls, I'll answer when he calls, And increase his Pow'r and Wealth; And when in Calm Content, His happy Life is spent, Him I'll crown with saving Health. Scripture: Psalm 91 Used With Tune: [Who hath his dwelling made, beneath th' Almighty's Shade]

Confidence in God

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 36 hymnals Topics: Confidence in God First Line: Our Father, thron'd above the sky Lyrics: 1 Our Father, thron'd above the sky, To thee our empty hands we spread; Thy children at thy footstool lie, And ask thy blessings on their head. 2 With cheerful hope and filial fear, In that august and precious name, By thee ordain'd, we now draw near, And would the promis'd blessing claim. 3 Does not an earthly parent hear The cravings of his famish'd son? Will he reject the filial pray'r, Or mock him with a cake of stone? 4 Our heav'nly Father, how much more Will thy divine compassions rise; And open thy unbounded store, To satisfy thy children's cries? 5 Yes, we will ask, and seek, and press For gracious audience at thy seat; Still hoping, waiting for success, If persevering to entreat. 6 For Jesus in his faithful word The upright supplicant has blest; And all thy saints with one accord The prevalence of pray'r attest.
