Had Not The Lord, May Israel Say
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 37 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Had not the Lord, may Israel say,
Had not the Lord maintained our side,
When men, to make our lives a prey,
Rose like the swelling of the tide.
2 The swelling tide had stopped our breath,
So fiercely did the waters roll,
We had been swallowed deep in death;
Proud waters had o’erwhelmed our soul.
3 We leap for joy, we shout and sing,
Who just escaped the fatal stroke;
So flies the bird with cheerful wing,
When once the fowler’s snare is broke.
4 For ever blessèd be the Lord,
Who broke the fowler’s cursèd snare,
Who saved us from the murdering sword,
And made our lives and souls His care.
5 Our help is in Jehovah’s name,
Who formed the earth and built the skies:
He that upholds that wondrous frame
Guards His own Church with watchful eyes. Used With Tune: WHITBY ABBEY Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

How Sweet It Is In Early Youth
Author: William H. Bathurst Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 How sweet it is in early youth
To tread the sacred paths of truth;
From sin’s deceitful snares to run,
And find a heaven on earth begun.
2 How happy is the soul that knows
What perfect peace and calm repose
A gracious Father deigns to give
To them who by His precepts live!
3 Forbid it, Lord, that we should stray
Far distant from Thy holy way;
Or so deceived and thoughtless be,
As to love pleasure more than Thee.
4 Though fools may make a mock at sin,
O teach us wisely to begin
To seek the safe and narrow road
That leads to happiness and God.
Used With Tune: WHITBY ABBEY Text Sources: Psalms and Hymns for Public and Private Use (London: Hatchard and Sons, 1831)
