Thou art my portion, O my God!

Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 170 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Thou art my portion, O my God! Soon as I know Thy way, My heart makes haste to obey Thy word, And suffers no delay. 2 I choose the path of heavenly truth, And glory in my choice; Not all the riches of the earth Could make me so rejoice. 3 The testimonies of Thy grace I set before mine eyes: Thence I derive my daily strength, And there my comfort lies. 4 If once I wander from Thy path I think upon my ways; Then turn my feet to Thy commands, And trust Thy pardoning grace. 5 Now I am Thine, for ever Thine: O save Thy servant, Lord! Thou art my Shield, my Hiding-place; My hope is in Thy Word. 6 Thou hast inclined this heart of mine Thy statutes to fulfil; And thus, till mortal life shall end, Would I perform Thy will.

To thee I'll cry, O Lord, my rock

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 To thee I’ll cry, O Lord, my rock; hold not thy peace to me; lest like those who to death go down I by thy silence be. 2 The voice hear of my humble prayers, when unto thee I cry; when to thy holy oracle I lift mine hands on high. 3 With ill men draw me not away that work iniquity; that speak peace to their friends, while in their hearts doth mischief lie. 4 Give them according to their deeds and evil of their way; after the work of their own hands do thou to them repay. 5 God shall not build, but them destroy, who would not understand the Lord’s own works, nor did regard the doing of his hand. 6 For ever blessed be the Lord, for graciously he heard the voice of my petitions, and my prayers did regard. 7 The Lord’s my strength and shield; my heart upon him did rely; and I am helped: hence my heart doth joy exceedingly, and with my song I will him praise. 8 Their strength is God alone: he also is the saving strength of his anointed one. 9 O thine own people do thou save. Bless thine inheritance; them also do thou feed, and them for evermore advance. Scripture: Psalm 28 Used With Tune: GLOUCESTER

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 And shall we then go on to sin, that grace may more abound? Great God, forbid that such a thought should in our breast be found! 2 When to the sacred font we came, did not the rite proclaim, that, wash'd from sin, and all its stains, new creatures we became? 3 With Christ the Lord we dy'd to sin; with him to life we rise, to life, which now begun on earth, is perfect in the skies. 4 Too long enthrall'd to Satan’s sway, we now are slaves no more; for Christ hath vanquish'd death and sin, our freedom to restore.
