O God, my refuge, keep me safe
Author: David G. Preston (b. 1939) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God, my refuge, keep me safe:
on you my good depends;
O Lord, you are my Lord alone,
your saints my choicest friends.
2 Whoever turns to other gods
will find remorse and shame;
to them I make no sacrifice,
nor will I speak their name.
3 The Lord is my inheritance,
a prize beyond compare;
his word instructs me day and night,
his own belovèd heir.
4 At all times I have set the Lord
before my face to stand;
no trial, no pain can shake my hope
with him at my right hand.
5 My heart and soul rejoice in you
and in your power to save:
you will not leave your Holy One
to perish in the grave.
6 You lead me to the path of life:
before your face I'll stand
and drink my fill of endless joys
that flow at your right hand. Topics: Eternal Life; God Protection of; Word of God Scripture: Psalm 16 Used With Tune: WETHERBY
O God, my refuge, keep me safe
How lovely is your dwelling-place
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 53 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How lovely is thy dwelling-place,
O Lord of hosts, to me!
The tabernacles of thy grace
how pleasant, Lord, they be!
2 My thirsty soul longs veh’mently,
yea faints, thy courts to see;
my very heart and flesh cry out,
O living God, for thee.
3 Behold, the sparrow findeth out
an house wherein to rest;
the swallow also for herself
provided hath a nest;
even thine own altars, where she safe
her young ones forth may bring,
O thou almighty Lord of hosts,
who art my God and King.
4 Blest are they in thy house that dwell,
they ever give thee praise.
5 Blest is the man whose strength thou art,
in whose heart are thy ways:
6 who as they pass through Baca’s vale,
make it a place of springs,
also the rain that falleth down
rich blessing to it brings.
7 So they from strength unwearied go
still forward unto strength,
until in Zion they appear
before the Lord at length.
8 Lord God of hosts, my prayer hear;
O Jacob’s God, give ear.
9 See, God our shield, look on the face
of thine anointed dear.
10 For in thy courts one day excels
a thousand; rather in
my God’s house will I keep a door,
than dwell in tents of sin.
11 For God the Lord’s a sun and shield:
he’ll grace and glory give;
and will withhold no good from them
that uprightly do live.
12 O thou that art the Lord of hosts,
that man is truly blest,
who with assured confidence
on thee alone doth rest. Scripture: Psalm 84 Used With Tune: WETHERBY

Behold what witnesses unseen
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Behold what witnesses unseen
encompass us around,
who, once like us, with suffering tried,
but now with glory crowned.
2 Let us, with zeal like theirs inspired,
begin the Christian race,
and, freed from each encumbering weight,
their holy footsteps trace.
3 Behold a witness nobler still,
who trod affliction's path,
Jesus, at once the finisher
and author of our faith.
4 He for the joy before him set,
so generous was his love,
endured the cross, despised the shame,
and now he reigns above.
5 Then let our hearts no more despond,
our hands be weak no more;
still let us trust our Father's love,
his wisdom still adore. Topics: The Church Celebrates Oneness with the Church in Heaven; Communion of Saints Scripture: Hebrews 12 Used With Tune: WETHERBY Text Sources: Scottish Paraphrases, 1781, Paraphrase 59, verses 1-4, 13

Above Me Hangs The Silent Sky
Author: Henry F. Lyte Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Above me hangs the silent sky;
Around me rolls the sea;
The crew is at all at rest, and I
Am, Lord, alone with Thee.
2 Go where I may, from all remote,
Thou, Lord, art ever near:
No secret thought, but Thou canst note;
No word, but Thou canst hear.
3 When all around are sunk to sleep,
Thy presence here I find;
To me Thou walkest o’er the deep,
Or speakest in the wind.
4 In winds, and waves, and starry sky;
I see Thee present here;
And, looking at myself, I cry,
Can I still be Thy care?
5 I think of days and dangers past,
When I have found Thee nigh;
And wonder how Thy love can last
To one so vile as I.
6 I think of terrors near at hand,
Of judgment yet to come;
When I before Thy face must stand
And hear my final doom.
7 The sense of all I’ve been and done
Would fill me with despair;
But to my Savior’s cross I run,
And find a refuge there.
8 I know He has the power to aid,
I know He has the will:
And He who once for sinners bled,
Can rescue sinners still.
9 Lord, arm my soul with faith in Thee,
And fill my heart with love,
My path from sin and danger free,
And guide me safe above.
10 And while the waves around me beat,
Lord, often thus descend,
And grant me here communion sweet
With Thee, the sinner’s friend. Used With Tune: WETHERBY Text Sources: Poems Chiefly Religious, 1833 & 1845
