I fear not them but Thee;
As boundless wealth and priceless spoil,
Thy word rejoices me.

But in thy law delight;
Throughout the day I praise Thy Name,

Unmoved, he safely stands;
For Thy salvation I have hoped
And followed Thy commands.

They are my chief delight;
Observant of Thy law and truth,
I walk before Thy sight.

Fountain of Mercy, God of Love
Author: Alice Flowerdew Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 155 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. Fountain of mercy, God of love,
Whose gifts all creatures share,
The rolling seasons as they move
Proclaim Thy constant care.
2. When in the bosom of the earth
The sower hid the grain,
Thy goodness marked its secret birth,
And sent the early rain.
3. The spring’s sweet influence, Lord, was Thine,
The seasons knew Thy call;
Thou mad’st the summer sun to shine,
The summer dews to fall.
4. The gifts of mercy from above
Matured the swelling grain;
And now the harvest crowns Thy love,
And plenty fills this plain.
5. O ne’er may our forgetful hearts
O’erlook Thy bounteous care,
But what our Father’s hand imparts
Still own in praise and prayer.
6. To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
The God whom we adore,
Be glory, as it was, is now,
And shall be evermore. Used With Tune: ST. JAMES Text Sources: Poems on Moral and Religious Subjects, third edition, 1811

O God of Truth
Author: Thomas Hughes Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 75 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 First Line: O God of truth, whose living Word Lyrics: 1. O God of truth, whose living Word
Upholds whate’er hath breath,
Look down on Thy creation, Lord,
Enslaved by sin and death.
2. Set up Thy standard, Lord, that we,
Who claim a heavenly birth,
May march with Thee to smite the lies
That vex Thy groaning earth.
3. Ah! would we join that blest array,
And follow in the might
Of Him, the Faithful and the True,
In raiment clean and white!
4. We fight for truth, we fight for God,
Poor slaves of lies and sin!
He who would fight for Thee on earth
Must first be true within.
5. Then, God of truth, for whom we long,
Thou who wilt hear our prayer,
Do Thine own battle in our hearts,
And slay the falsehood there.
6. Still smite; still burn; till naught is left
But God’s own truth and love;
Then, Lord, as morning dew come down,
Rest on us from above.
7. Yes, come: then, tried as in the fire,
From every lie set free,
Thy perfect truth shall dwell in us,
And we shall live in Thee. Used With Tune: ST. JAMES Text Sources: Lays of the Sanctuary, 1859

Ye Sons of Earth, Prepare the Plough
Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 19 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. Ye sons of earth, prepare the plough,
Break up your fallow ground!
The Sower is gone forth to sow,
And scatter blessings round.
2. The seed that finds a stony soil
Shoots forth a hasty blade;
But ill repays the sower’s toil,
Soon withered, scorched, and dead.
3. The thorny ground is sure to balk
All hopes of harvest there;
We find a tall and sickly stalk,
But not the fruitful ear.
4. The beaten path and highway side
Receive the trust in vain;
The watchful birds the spoil divide,
And pick up all the grain.
5. But where the Lord of grace and power
Has blessed the happy field,
How plenteous is the golden store
The deep wrought furrows yield!
6. Father of mercies, we have need
Of Thy preparing grace;
Let the same hand that gives me seed
Provide a fruitful place! Used With Tune: ST. JAMES Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London: W. Oliver, 1779)
Ye Sons of Earth, Prepare the Plough
Lost In The Wildering Maze Of Sin
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Lost in the wildering maze of sin,
And far from God astray,
The wicked, guiled by Satan’s arts,
Pursue their dreadful way.
2 From day to day they roam for rest,
But all their search in vain;
They seek the living ’mong the dead,
And joy where sorrows reign.
3 Estranged from Thee, Thou God of peace!
What peace can sinners find?
What, but the phantom Satan gives
To lure the captive mind?
4 The wicked, like the troubled sea,
In restless motion rage,
And with their conscience, and with Thee,
Unceasing warfare wage.
5 Till Thou direct our feet aright,
And guide us by Thy love,
From Heaven and peace, and safety far,
Our wandering footsteps rove.
6 When faith, uplifting meek her eye,
Beholds Thine anger cease,
And grace inspires the hope of Heaven—
This, this alone is peace. Used With Tune: ST. JAMES Text Sources: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns, fifth edition, by Thomas Cotterill (London: Hatchard and Seely, 1814)

O Lord, be with us when we sail
Author: E. A. Dayman, 1807-1890 Appears in 58 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 O Lord, be with us when we sail
Upon the lonely deep,
Our guard when on the silent deck
The midnight watch we keep.
2 We need not fear, though all around
'Mid rising winds we hear
The multitude of waters surge;
For Thou, O God, art near.
3 The calm, the breeze, the gale, the storm,
That pass from land to land,
All, all are Thine, are held within
The hollow of Thine hand.
4 As when on blue Gennesaret
Rose high the angry wave,
And Thy disciples quailed in dread,
One word of Thine could save;
5 So when the fiercer storms arise
From man's unbridled will,
Be Thou, Lord, present in our hearts,
To whisper,"Peace, be still!"
6 Across this troubled tide of life
Thyself our pilot be,
Until we reach that better land,
The land that knows no sea. Topics: Seasons and Occasions; Travellers' Hymns ; Jesus (See also Christ) Pilot ; Pilot, Christ our ; Pilot, Christ our Used With Tune: ST. JAMES

Thy heart made truly His
Who dwells in cloudless light enshrined,
In whom no darkness is.

In which is perfect day.

No fearful shade shall wear;

For Christ hath conquered there.

Save me, O God, by thy great name
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Save me, O God, by thy great name,
and judge me by thy strength:
2 hear thou my prayer, O God; give ear
unto my words at length.
3 For they that strangers are to me
do up against me rise,
oppressors seek my soul, and God
set not before their eyes.
4 Lo, God an helper is to me,
and therefore I am bold;
the Lord hath taken part with those
that do my soul uphold.
5 Unto my foes their wickedness
he surely shall repay:
O for thy truth’s sake cut them off,
and sweep them clean away.
6 I with a willing mind will give
a sacrifice to thee;
thy name, O Lord, because ‘tis good,
shall be extolled by me.
7 Because he hath delivered me
from all adversities;
and its desire mine eye hath seen
upon mine enemies. Scripture: Psalm 54 Used With Tune: ST JAMES
Save me, O God, by thy great name
To all men I have judgment done
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: AIN THE SIXTEENTH PART
121 To all men I have judgment done,
performing justice right;
then let me not be left unto
my fierce oppressors’ might.
122 For good unto thy servant, Lord,
thy servant’s surety be:
from the oppression of the proud
do thou deliver me.
123 Mine eyes do fail with looking long
for thy salvation great,
while for thy word of righteousness
I earnestly do wait.
124 In mercy with thy servant deal,
thy statutes to me show.
125 I am thy servant, wisdom give,
that I thy laws may know.
126 ’Tis time to work, Lord; for they have
made void thy law divine.
127 Therefore thy precepts more I love
than gold, yea, gold most fine.
128 Concerning all things thy commands
I therefore judge are right;
and every false and wicked way
is hateful in my sight. Scripture: Psalm 119:121-128 Used With Tune: ST JAMES
To all men I have judgment done
