For Thou hast placed us side by side In this wide world of ill; And, that Thy followers may be tried, The poor are with us still. 4. Mean are all offerings we can make; Yet Thou hast taught us, Lord, If given for the Savior’s sake, They lose not their reward. Used With Tune: ALBANO

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 37 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. We love Thee, Lord, and we adore; Now is Thine arm revealed: Thou art our strength, our heav’nly tower, Our bulwark and our shield. 2. We fly to our eternal rock, And find a sure defense; His holy name our lips invoke, And draw salvation thence. 3. When God, our leader, shines in arms, What mortal heart can bear The thunder of His loud alarms, The lightning of His spear? 4. He rides upon the wingèd wind, And angels in array In millions wait to know His mind, And swift as flames obey. 5. He speaks, and at His fierce rebuke Whole armies are dismayed; His voice, His frown, His angry look, Strikes all their courage dead. 6. He forms our generals for the field, With all their dreadful skill; Gives them His awful sword to wield, And makes their hearts of steel. 7. He arms our captains to the fight, Though there His name’s forgot; He girded Cyrus with His might, But Cyrus knew Him not. 8. Oft has the Lord whole nations blessed For His own church’s sake; The powers that give His people rest, Shall of His care partake. Used With Tune: ALBANO Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

O Lord, That Art My Righteous Judge

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 O Lord, that art my righteous judge, To my complaint give ear; Thou still redeem’st me from distress; Have mercy, Lord, and hear. 2 How long will ye, O sons of men, To blot my fame devise? How long your vain designs pursue, And spread malicious lies? 3 Consider that the righteous man Is God’s peculiar choice; And when to Him I make my prayer, He always hears my voice. 4 Then stand in awe of His commands, Flee every thing that’s ill; Commune in private with your hearts, And bind them to His will. 5 The place of other sacrifice Let righteousness supply; And let your hope, securely fixed, On God alone rely. 6 While worldly minds impatient grow More prosperous times to see, Oh! let the glories of Thy face Shine brighter, Lord, on me! 7 So shall my heart o’erflow with joy More lasting and more true Than theirs, possessed of all that they So eagerly pursue. 8 Then down in peace I’ll lay my head, And take my needful rest: No other guard, O Lord, I crave, Of Thy defense possessed. 9 Lord of my life, my hopes, my joys, My never failing friend, Thou hast been all my help till now, Oh! help me to the end!
