The love that made us, makes us one, and strangers now are friends, and strangers now are friends. 4 And thus with joy we meet our Lord. his presence, always near, is in such friendship better known; we see and praise him here, we see and praise him here. 5 Together met, together bound, we'll go our different ways and as his people in the world, we'll live and speak his praise, we'll live and speak his praise.

Spirit, leave thy house of clay

Author: Montgomery Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 62 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 16:9 Lyrics: 1 Spirit, leave thy house of clay; Lingering dust, resign thy breath; Spirit, cast thy chains away; Dust, be thou dissolved in death! Thus the mighty Saviour speaks, While the faithful Christian dies; Thus the bonds of life he breaks, And the ransomed captive flies. 2 Prisoner, long detained below, Prisoner, now with freedom blest, Welcome from a world of woe; Welcome to a land of rest: Thus the choir of angels sing, As they bear the soul on high, While with hallelujahs ring All the regions of the sky. 3 Grave! the guardian of our dust, Grave! the treasury of the skies, Every atom of thy trust Rests in hope again to rise! Hark! the judgment-trumpet calls-- Soul, rebuild thy house of clay: Immortality thy walls, And eternity thy day. Topics: Resurrection and Judgment; Clothed with Immortality

Mictam, or a golden Psalm of David

Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 16 First Line: O Mighty God, preserve thou me Lyrics: 1 O Mighty God, preserve thou me, For upon thee I rest: 2 Thou art my Lord, unto my Lord, My souls thou hast profess'd. My goodness reacheth not to thee, 3 But to the saints on earth: And to them that are excellent, In whom is all my mirth. 4 Who to strange gods do hasten gifts, Their grief shall multiply; Their blood-drink offerings I'll not pour, Their names my lips shall fly. 5 Jehovah is the portion Of mine inheritance; So is he likewise of my cup; Thou dost maintain my chance. 6 The lines that fall'n are unto me, In pleasant places are: Yea, goodly is the heritage That falleth to my share. 7 I will Jehovah humbly bless, Who counsels me aright: My reins also do me instruct In seasons of the night. 8 Before me I the Lord have set As present evermore: Because he is at my right hand I shall not slide therefore. 9 Therefore my heart rejoyceth much, My glory's glad withal; Moreover also dwell in hope My flesh securely shall. 10 Because thou wilt not leave my soul In death's estate to be: Nor suffer wilt thy holy one Corruption for to see. 11 Thou wilt me shew the pat of life: Fulness of joys before The presence, and at thy right hand Are pleasures evermore.

Protect me from my cruel Foes

Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 16 Lyrics: 1 Protect me from my cruel Foes, and shield me, Lord, from Harm; Because my Trust I still repose on thy Almighty Arm. 2 My Soul all Help but thine does slight, all Gods but Thee disown; Yet can no Deeds of mine requite, the Goodness thou hast shown. 3 But those that strictly virtuous are, and love the Thing that's right, To favour always, and prefer, shall be my chief Delight. 4 How shall their Sorrows be increas'd, who other gods adore! Their bloody Off'rings I detest, their very Names abhor. 5 My Lot is fall'n in that blest Land, where God is truly known; He fills my cup with lib'ral Hand; 'tis He supports my Throne. 6 In Nature's most delightful Scene my happy Portion lies; The Place of my appointed Reign all other Lands outvies. 7 Therefore my Soul shall bless the Lord, whose Precepts give me Light, And private Counsel still afford, in sorrow's dismal Night. 8 I strive each Action to approve to His all-seeing Eye; No Danger shall my Hopes remove, because He still is nigh. 9 Therefore my Heart all Grief defies, my Glory does rejoice; My Flesh shall rest, in Hopes to rise, wak'd by His pow'rful voice. 10 Thou, Lord, when I resign my Breath, my Soul from Hell shalt free; Nor let thy Holy One in Death the least Corruption see. 11 Thou shalt the Paths of Life display, that to thy Presence lead; Where Pleasures dwell without Allay, and Joys that never fade.

Author: John Newton (1725-1807) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,288 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 16:11 Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God; he whose word cannot be broken formed thee for his own abode. On the Rock of Ages founded, what can shake thy sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, thou mayest smile at all thy foes. 2 See! the streams of living waters, springing from eternal love, well supply thy sons and daughters, and all fear of want remove. Who can faint while such a river ever will their thirst assuage -- grace which, like the Lord the Giver, never fails from age to age? 3 Saviour, since of Zion's city I, through grace, a member am, let the world deride or pity, I will glory in thy Name. Fading is the worldling's pleasure, and all boasted pomp and show; solid joys and lasting treasure none but Zion's children know.
