O Lord, Be Thou My Helper True
Meter: 8.8.6 D Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Lord, be thou my helper true,
for just and godly men are few;
the faithful who can find?
From truth and wisdom men depart,
with flattering lips and double heart
they speak their evil mind.
2 The lips that speak, the truth to hide,
the tongues of arrogance and pride,
that boastful words employ,
false-speaking tongues that boast their might,
that own no law, that know no right,
Jehovah will destroy.
3 Because the poor are sore oppressed,
because the needy are distressed,
and bitter are their cries,
the Lord will be their helper strong;
to save them from contempt and wrong
Jehovah will arise.
4 Jehovah's promises are sure,
his words are true, his words are pure
as silver from the flame.
Though base men walk on ev'ry side,
his saints are safe, whate'er betide,
protected by his name.

What light and joy those leaves afford
To souls in deep distress!
Thy precepts guide our doubtful way,
Thy fear forbids our feet to stray,
Thy promise leads to rest.

And warn us where our danger lies;
But ’tis Thy Gospel, Lord,
That makes the guilty conscience clean,
Converts the soul, and conquers sin,
And gives a free reward. Used With Tune: HIGHTON Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719 (originally, "I Love the Volumes of Thy Word"); Appeared in altered form in Carmina Sacra, (Boston, Massachusetts: J. H. Wilkins & R. B. Carter, 1844), p. 84

O People Blest, Whose Sons in Youth
Meter: 8.8.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O people blest, whose sons in youth,
in sturdy strength and noble truth,
like plants in vigor spring;
whose daughters fair, a queenly race,
are like the cornerstones that grace
the palace of a king,
the palace of a king.
2 O people blest, when flock and field
their rich, abundant increase yield,
and blessings multiply;
when plenty all thy children share,
and no invading foe is there,
and no distressful cry,
and no distressful cry.
3 O happy people, favored land,
to whom the Lord with lib'ral hand
has thus his goodness shown;
yea, surely is that people blest
by whom Jehovah is confessed
to be their God alone,
to be their God alone.

The Tribes of the Southwest
Author: Rev. L. P. Brink Meter: 8.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: The Wallapai, the Navaho Lyrics: 1. The Wallapai, the Navaho,
The Pima and the Papao,
Have heard of Christ the Lord;
Yea, Hopies and Mohaves too,
And Maricopas, not a few,
Give heed unto His Word.
2. The Yumas in their southern land,
Apaches strong, a warlike band,
His loving voice have heard;
The Zunies in the village brown,
Lagunas in their ancient town,
Were by His message stirred.
3. The Utes, who in the Rockies dwell,
And Jicarillas also, tell
Of His redeeming grace;
While Mescaleroes, 'way down south,
Have heard the message of His mouth,
Have seen His shining face.
4. But all along the Rio Grande
The towns of many Puebloes stand
Who have not heard His voice;
O, who will bring that message true
To Taos and to Isleta too,
And make their hearts rejoice?
5. Who'll enter in where gates are barred,
Where human hearts are seared and scarred
By superstition's pow'r?
O Lord, these fettered doors unclose,
Cast down what doth Thy Word oppose,
Dear Savior, speed the hour. Topics: The Church; Means of Grace Missions Used With Tune: [The Wallapai, the Navaho]

Except the Lord Conduct the Plan
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.8.6 D Appears in 76 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Except the Lord conduct the plan,
The best concerted schemes are vain,
And never can succeed;
We spend our wretched strength for naught;
But if our works in Thee be wrought,
They shall be blest indeed.
2 Lord, if Thou didst Thyself inspire
Our souls with this intense desire
Thy goodness to proclaim;
Thy glory if we now intend,
O let our deeds begin and end
Complete in Jesus' name.
3 Now, Jesus, now Thy love impart,
To govern each devoted heart,
And fit us for Thy will;
Deep founded in the truth of grace,
Build up Thy rising Church, and place
The city on the hill.
4 O let our love and faith abound;
O let our lives, to all around
With purest luster shine;
That all around our works may see,
And give the glory, Lord, to Thee,
The heavenly light divine. Topics: Lay and Ordained Ministry Used With Tune: MERIBAH
