When overwhelm'd with Grief
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P61 (1766) Topics: God our Defense and Salvation Lyrics: 1 When, overwhelm'd with Grief,
My Heart within me dies,
Helpless, and far from all Relief
To Heav'n I lift mine Eyes.
2 O lead me to the Rock
That's high above my Head,
And make the Covert of thy Wings
My Shelter and my Shade.
3 Within thy Presence, Lord,
For ever I'll abide;
Thou art the Tow'r of my Defence,
The Refuge where I hide.
4 Thou givest me the Lot
Of those that fear thy Name;
If endless Life be their Reward,
I shall possess the same. Scripture: Psalm 61:1-6 Languages: English

Safety with GOD
Not to ourselves, who are but Dust
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P115a (1766) Topics: God our Defense and Salvation Lyrics: 1 Not to ourselves, who are but Dust,
Not to ourselves is Glory due,
Eternal GOD, Thou only Just,
Thou only Gracious, Wise, and True.
2 Shine forth in all thy dreadful Name;
Why should a Heathen's haughty Tongue
Insult us, and to raise our Shame,
Say, Where's the GOD you've serv'd so long?
3 The GOD we serve maintains his Throne
Above the clouds, beyond the Skies,
Through all the Earth his Will is done,
He knows our Groans, he hears our Cries.
4 But the vain Idols they adore,
Are senseless Shapes of Stone and Wood;
At best a Mass of glitt'ring Ore,
A silver Saint or golden God.
5 [With Eyes and Ears they carve their Head;
Deaf are their Ears, their Eyes are blind;
In vain are costly Off'rings made,
And Vows are scatter'd in the Wind.
6 Their Feet were never made to move,
Nor Hands to save when Mortals pray,
Mortals that pay them Fear or Love
Seem to be blind and deaf as they.]
7 O Isr'el, make the Lord thy Hope,
Thy Help, thy Refuge, and thy Rest;
The Lord shall build thy Ruins up,
And bless the People and the Priest.
8 The Dead no more can speak thy Praise,
They dwell in Silence and the Grave;
But we shall live to sing thy Grace,
And tell the World thy Pow'r to save. Scripture: Psalm 115 Languages: English
Not to ourselves, who are but Dust
Not to our Names, thou only Just and True
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P115b (1766) Topics: God our Defense and Salvation Lyrics: 1 Not to our Names, thou only Just and True,
Not to our worthless Names is Glory due;
Thy Pow'r & Grace, thy Truth & Justice claim
Immortal Honours to thy sov'reign Name.
Shine through the earth from Heav'n, thy blest Abode
Nor let the Heathens say, "And where's your God?
2 Heav'n is thine higher Court: There stands thy Throne,
And thro' the lower Worlds thy Will is done;
Our God fram'd all this Earth, these Heav'ns he spread,
But Fools adore the Gods their Hands have made.
The kneeling Croud with Looks devout behold
Their Silver Saviours, and their Saints of Gold.
3 [Vain are those artful Shapes of Eyes and Ears;
The molten Image neither sees nor hears;
Their Hands are helpless, nor their Feet can move,
They have no Speech, nor Thought, nor Pow'r, nor Love;
Yet sottish Mortals make their long Complaints
To their deaf Idols and their moveless Saints.
4 The Rich have Statues well adorn'd with Gold,
The Poor content with Gods of coarser Mould,
With Tools of Iron carve the senseless Stock,
Lopt from a Tree, or broken from a Rock;
People and Priest drive on the solemn Trade,
And trust the Gods, that Saws and Hammers made.]
5 Be Heav'n and Earth amaz'd! 'Tis hard to say
Which is more stupid, or their Gods, or they,
O Isr'el, trust the Lord: He hears and sees,
He knows thy Sorrows and restores thy Peace:
His Worship does a thousand Comforts yield,
He is thy Help, and he thy heav'nly Shield.
6 O Britain, trust the Lord: Thy Foes in vain
Attempt thy Ruin, and oppose his Reign;
Had they prevail'd, Darkness had clos'd our Days,
And Death and Silence had forbid his Praise:
But we are sav'd, and live; Let Songs arise,
And Britons bless the GOD that built the Skies. Scripture: Psalm 115 Languages: English
Not to our Names, thou only Just and True
Up to the Hills I lift mine Eyes
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P121a (1766) Topics: Defense in God Lyrics: 1 Up to the Hills I lift mine Eyes,
Th' eternal Hills beyond the Skies;
Thence all her Help my Soul derives;
There my Almighty Refuge lies.
2 He lives; the everlasting GOD,
That built the World, that spread the Flood;
The Heav'ns, with all their Hosts he made,
And the dark Regions of the Dead.
3 He guides our Feet, he guards our Way;
His Morning Smiles bless all the Day;
He spreads the Evening Veil, and keeps
The silent Hours while Isr'el sleeps.
4 Isr'el, a Name divinely blest,
May rise secure, securely rest;
Thy holy Guardian's wakeful Eyes
Admit no Slumber nor Surprize.
5 No Sun shall smite thy Head by Day,
Nor the pale Moon with sickly Ray
Shall blast thy Couch; no baleful Star
Dart his malignant Fire so far.
6 Should Earth and Hell with Malice burn,
Still thou shalt go, and still return
Safe in the Lord; his heav'nly Care
Defends thy Life from ev'ry Snare.
7 On thee foul Spirits have no Pow'r;
And in thy last departing Hour,
Angels that trace the airy Road,
Shall bear thee homeward to thy GOD. Scripture: Psalm 121 Languages: English
Up to the Hills I lift mine Eyes
To Heav'n I lift my waiting Eyes
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P121b (1766) Topics: Defense in God Lyrics: 1 To Heav'n I lift my waiting Eyes;
There all my Hopes are laid:
The Lord, that built the Earth and Skies,
Is my perpetual Aid.
2 Their Feet shall never slide to fall,
Whom he designs to keep;
His Ear attends the softest Call;
His Eyes can never sleep.
3 He will sustain our weakest Pow'rs
With his Almighty Arm,
And watch our most unguarded Hours
Against surprising Harm.
4 Isr'el rejoice, and rest secure,
Thy Keeper is the Lord;
His wakeful Eyes employ his Pow'r
For thine eternal Guard.
5 Nor scorching Sun, nor sickly Moon,
Shall have his Leave to smite;
He shields thy Head from burning Noon,
From blasting Damps at Night.
6 He guards thy Soul, he keeps thy Breath,
Where thickest Dangers come:
Go, and return, secure from Death,
Till GOD commands thee Home. Scripture: Psalm 121 Languages: English
To Heav'n I lift my waiting Eyes
Upward I lift mine Eyes
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P121c (1766) Topics: Defense in God Lyrics: 1 Upward I lift mine Eyes,
From GOD is all my Aid;
The GOD that built the Skies,
And Earth and Nature made;
GOD is the Tow'r
To which I fly;
His Grace is nigh
In ev'ry Hour.
2 My Feet shall never slide,
And fall in fatal Snares,
Since GOD, my Guard and Guide,
Defends me from my Fears.
Those wakeful Eyes
That never sleep,
Shall Israel keep,
When Dangers rise.
3 No burning Heats by Day
Nor Blasts of Evening Air,
Shall take my Health away,
If GOD be with me there:
Thou art my Sun,
And thou my Shade,
To guard my Head
By Night or Noon.
4 Hast thou not giv'n thy Word
To save my Soul from Death?
And I can trust my Lord
To keep my mortal Breath;
I'll go and come,
Nor fear to die,
Till from on high
Thou call me Home. Scripture: Psalm 121 Languages: English

Christ, Thy All-Atoning Death

Is our life while here below;
Strengthen Thou our feeble faith,
Constantly Thine aid bestow.
In thy mercy we confide;
Safely to the end us guide;
Zion, if thy Head depart,
Void of life and strength thou art.
2 Gracious Lord, may we believe,
Venture all on Thy free grace,
Boldly things not seen achieve,
Trusting in Thy promises.
Faith Thy people’s stronghold is;
Their employment daily this,
To proceed on paths unknown,
Leaning on Thine arm alone.
3 Lord, Thy body ne’er forsake,
Ne’er Thy congregation leave;
We to Thee our refuge take,
Of Thy fullness we receive;
Every other help be gone,
Thou art our Support alone;
For on Thy supreme commands
All the universe depends. Languages: English Tune Title: GOUDIMEL

Rejoice, thou Christian flock!
Fear not though foes are bringing
Their hosts against thy rock;
For though they here assail thee
And seek thy very life,
Let not thy courage fail thee;
Thy God shall turn the strife.
2 O be not thou dismayed,
Believing little band.
God, in His might arrayed,
To help thee is at hand.
Upon His palm engraven
Thy name is ever found,
He knows, Who dwells in heaven,
The ills that thee surround.
3 His purpose stands unshaken—
What He hath said He’ll do;
And, when by all forsaken,
His Church He will renew.
With pity He beholds her
E’en in her time of woe,
Still by His Word upholds her
And makes her thrive and grow.
4 To Him belong our praises,
Who still abides our Lord,
Bestowing gifts and graces
According to His Word.
Nor will He e’er forsake us,
But will our Guardian be
And ever stable make us
In love and unity. Languages: English Tune Title: LOB GOTT

O Where Are Kings and Empires Now
Zion stands with hills surrounded
Author: Kelly Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #545 (1873) Topics: God the Defense of Zion Lyrics: 1 Zion stands with hills surrounded--
Zion, kept by power divine;
All her foes shall be confounded,
Though the world in arms combine.
Happy Zion,
What a favored lot is thine!
2 Every human tie may perish;
Friend to friend unfaithful prove;
Mothers cease their own to cherish;
Heaven and earth at last remove;
But no changes
Can attend Jehovah's love.
3 In the furnace God may prove thee,
Thence to bring thee forth more bright,
But can never cease to love thee;
Thou art precious in his sight:
God is with thee--
God, thine everlasting light. Scripture: Psalm 125:2
Zion stands with hills surrounded
