God Is My Strong Salvation
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.6.7.6 Appears in 288 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 27 Lyrics: 1 God is my strong Salvation:
What foe have I to fear?
In peril and temptation
My light, my help is near.
2 Though hosts encamp around me,
Firm to the fight I stand;
What terror can confound me,
With God at my right hand?
3 Place on the Lord reliance,
My soul, with courage wait;
God's truth be thine affiance,
When faint and desolate.
4 God's might thy heart shall strengthen,
God's love thy joy increase;
Mercy thy days shall lengthen;
The Lord will give thee peace.

God Is My Strong Salvation
Psalm 27 Part 1
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 201 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 27:1-6 First Line: The Lord of glory is my light Lyrics:
The Lord of glory is my light,
And my salvation too;
God is my strength, nor will I fear
What all my foes can do.
One privilege my heart desires;
O grant me an abode
Among the churches of thy saints,
The temples of my God!
There shall I offer my requests,
And see thy beauty still;
Shall hear thy messages of love,
And there inquire thy will.
When troubles rise, and storms appear,
There may his children hide;
God has a strong pavilion where
He makes my soul abide.
Now shall my head be lifted high
Above my foes around,
And songs of joy and victory
Within thy temple sound.

Psalm 27 Part 2
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 163 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 27:8-9 First Line: Soon as I heard my Father say Lyrics:
Soon as I heard my Father say,
"Ye children, seek my grace,"
My heart replied without delay,
"I'll seek my Father's face."
Let not thy face be hid from me,
Nor frown my soul away;
God of my life, I fly to thee
In a distressing day.
Should friends and kindred near and dear
Leave me to want or die,
My God would make my life his care,
And all my need supply.
My fainting flesh had died with grief
Had not my soul believed,
To see thy grace provide relief;
Nor was my hope deceived.
Wait on the Lord, ye trembling saints,
And keep your courage up;
He'll raise your spirit when it faints,
And far exceed your hope.

Psalm 27: The Lord's my light and saving health
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 19 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 27 First Line: The Lord's my light and saving health Lyrics:
1The Lord’s my light and saving health,
who shall make me dismay’d?
My life’s strength is the Lord, of whom
then shall I be afraid?
2When as mine enemies and foes,
most wicked persons all,
To eat my flesh against me rose,
they stumbled and did fall.
3Against me though an host encamp,
my heart yet fearless is:
Though war against me rise, I will
be confident in this.
4One thing I of the Lord desir’d,
and will seek to obtain,
That all days of my life I may
within God’s house remain;
That I the beauty of the Lord
behold may and admire,
And that I in his holy place
may rev’rently enquire.
5For he in his pavilion shall
me hide in evil days;
In secret of his tent me hide,
and on a rock me raise.
6And now, ev’n at this present time,
mine head shall lifted be
Above all those that are my foes,
and round encompass me:
Therefore unto his tabernacle
I’ll sacrifices bring
Of joyfulness; I’ll sing, yea, I
to God will praises sing.
7O Lord, give ear unto my voice,
when I do cry to thee;
Upon me also mercy have,
and do thou answer me.
8When thou didst say, Seek ye my face,
then unto thee reply
Thus did my heart, Above all things
thy face, Lord, seek will I.
9Far from me hide not thou thy face;
put not away from thee
Thy servant in thy wrath: thou hast
an helper been to me.
O God of my salvation,
leave me not, nor forsake:
10Though me my parents both should leave,
the Lord will me up take.
11O Lord, instruct me in thy way,
to me a leader be
In a plain path, because of those
that hatred bear to me.
12Give me not to mine en’mies’ will;
for witnesses that lie
Against me risen are, and such
as breathe out cruelty.
13I fainted had, unless that I
believed had to see
The Lord’s own goodness in the land
of them that living be.
14Wait on the Lord, and be thou strong,
and he shall strength afford
Unto thine heart; yea, do thou wait,
I say, upon the Lord.

O LORD, You Are My Light
Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 18 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 27:1-6 Lyrics: 1 O LORD, you are my light
and my salvation near;
then who will cause me fright
or fill my heart with fear?
While God my strength, my life sustains,
secure from fear my soul remains.
2 My one request has been
and still this prayer I raise:
that I may live within
God's house for all my days,
God's glorious beauty to admire,
and in his temple to inquire.
3 When troubles round me swell,
when fears and dangers throng,
securely I will dwell
in his pavilion strong.
Within the shelter of his tent
he hides me till the storm is spent.
4 Uplifted on a rock
above my foes around,
amid the battle shock
my song shall still resound.
Then joyful offerings I will bring;
the LORD God's praise my heart shall sing.

Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies.
Heaven's morning breaks and earth's vain shadows flee;
in life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.

while thou dost thy people feed.

Let me hide myself in Thee;
Let the water and the blood,
From Thy wounded side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure,
Cleanse me from its guilt and power.
2 Not the labors of my hands
Can fulfill Thy law's demands;
Could my zeal no respite know,
Could my tears forever flow,
All for sin could not atone,
Thou must save, and Thou alone.
3 Nothing in my hand I bring,
Simply to Thy cross I cling;
Naked, come to Thee for dress,
Helpless, look to Thee for grace;
Foul, I to the fountain fly;
Wash me, Saviour, or I die.
4 While I draw this fleeting breath,
When my eyelids close in death,
When I soar to worlds unknown,
See Thee on Thy judgment throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee.

Savior, when, in dust, to thee
Author: Grant Appears in 443 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 27:7 Lyrics: 1 Saviour, when, in dust, to thee
Low we bow the adoring knee--
When, repentant, to the skies
Scarce we lift our streaming eyes--

Suffered once for man below,
Bending from thy throne on high,
Hear us when to thee we cry.
2 By thine hour of ark despair;
By thine agony of prayer;
By the cross, the nail, the thorn,
Piercing spear, and torturing scorn;
By the gloom that veiled the skies
O'er the dreadful sacrifice--
Jesus, look, with pitying eye;
Listen to our humble cry.
3 By thy deep, expiring groan;
By the sad, sepulchral stone;
By the vault whose dark abode
Held in vain the rising God--
Oh, from earth to heaven restored,
Mighty, re-ascended Lord,
Saviour, Prince, exalted high,
Hear us when to thee we cry.

Here would we touch and handle things unseen,
Here grasp with firmer hand eternal grace,
And all our weariness upon You lean.
2 We have no help but Yours, nor do we need
Another arm save Yours to lean upon.
It is enough, my Lord, enough indeed;
Our strength is in Your might, Your might alone.
3 This is the hour of banquet and of song;
This is the heavenly table for us spread;
Here let us feast and, feasting, still prolong
The fellowship of living wine and bread.
4 Too soon we rise; the symbols disappear.
The feast, though not the love, is past and gone;
The bread and wine remove; but You art here,
Nearer than ever, still our Shield and Sun.
5 Feast after feast thus comes and passes by;
Yet, passing, points to that glad feast above,
Giving sweet foretaste of the festal joy,
The Lamb’s great bridal feast of bliss and love.
Here, O Our Lord, We See You Face to Face

Thro' him in doubtful Streights of War
for good Success I hope.
4 Henceforth within his house to dwell
I earnestly desire;
His wond'rous Beauty there to view,
and His blest Will inquire.
5 For there may I with comfort rest,
in Times of deep distress;
And safe as on a Rock abide
in that secure Recess:
6 Whilst God o'er all my haughty Foes
my lofty Head shall raise;
And I my joyful Off'ring bring,
and sing glad Songs of Praise.

7 Continue, Lord, to hear my Voice,
whene'er to Thee I cry;
In Mercy all my Pray'rs receive,
nor my Request deny.
8 When us to seek thy glorious Face
Thou kindly dost advise;
"Thy glorious Face I'll always seek,"
my grateful Heart replies.
9 Then hide not Thou thy Face, O Lord,
nor me in Wrath reject:
My God and Saviour, leave not him
thou didst so oft protect.
10 Tho' all my Friends, and nearest Kin,
their helpless Charge forsake;
Yet Thou, whose Love excels them all,
wilt Care and Pity take.
11 Instruct me in thy Paths, O Lord;
my Ways directly guide;
Lest envious Men, who watch my Steps,
should see me tread aside.
12 Lord, disappoint my cruel Foes;
defeat their ill Desire,
Whose lying Lips, and bloody Hands,
against my Peace conspire.
13 I trusted that my future Life
should with thy Love be crown'd;
Or else my fainting soul had sunk,
with Sorrow compass'd round.
14 God's Time with patient Faith expect,
and He'll inspire thy Breast
With inward Strength: Do thou thy Part,
and leave to Him the rest.
Whom should I fear, since God to me
The Confidence of Faith
Appears in 9 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 27 First Line: The Lord Almighty is my light Lyrics: 1 The Lord Almighty is my light,
He is my Saviour ever near,
And, since my strength is in His might
Who can distress me or affright?
What evil shall I fear?
2 O Lord, regard me when I cry,
In mercy hear me when I speak;
Thou bidst me seek Thy face, and I,
O Lord, with willing heart reply,
Thy face, Lord, will I seek.
3 Hide not Thy face afar from me,
For Thou a lone canst help afford;
O cast me not away from Thee
Nor let my soul forsaken be,
My Saviour and my Lord.
4 Though earthly friends no pity take,
Yet Thy compassion knows no end;
E'en tho' my father shall forsake,
E'en tho' my mother's love shall break,
The Lord will be my friend.
5 My heart had failed in fear and woe
Unless in God I had believed,
Assured that He would mercy show
And that my life His grace should know,
Nor was my hope deceived.
6 Fear not, though succor be delayed,
Still wait for God, and He will hear;
Be strong, nor be thy heart dismayed,
Wait, and the Lord shall bring thee aid,
Yea, trust and never fear.
