My Trust Is in My Heavenly Friend

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 46 hymnals Lyrics: 1. My trust is in my heavenly friend, My hope in Thee, my God; Rise and my helpless life defend From those that seek my blood. 2. With insolence and fury they My soul in pieces tear, As hungry lions rend the prey When no deliverer’s near. 3. If I had e’er provoked them first, Or once abused my foe, Then let him tread my life to dust, And lay mine honor low. 4. If there be malice found in me, I know Thy piercing eyes; I should not dare appeal to Thee, Nor ask my God to rise. 5. Arise, my God, lift up Thy hand, Their pride and power control; Awake to judgment and command Deliverance for my soul. 6. Let sinners and their wicked rage Be humbled to the dust; Shall not the God of truth engage To vindicate the just? 7. He knows the heart, He tries the reins, He will defend th’upright: His sharpest arrows He ordains Against the sons of spite. 8. For me their malice digged a pit, But there themselves are cast; My God makes all their mischief light On their own heads at last. 9. That cruel persecuting race Must feel His dreadful sword; Awake, my soul, and praise the grace And justice of the Lord. Used With Tune: GRÄFENBERG Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

Yet faith may triumph o’er the grave, And trample on the tombs; My Jesus, my Redeemer, lives; My God, my Savior, comes. 3. The mighty Conqueror shall appear High on a royal seat, And death, the last of all His foes, Lie vanquished at His feet. 4. Though greedy worms devour my skin, And gnaw my wasting flesh, When God shall build my bones again, He clothes them all afresh. 5. Then shall I see Thy lovely face With strong immortal eyes; And feast upon Thy unknown grace With pleasure and surprise.

Old Age, With All Its Sickly Train

Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Old age, with all its sickly train, Soon makes its dread approach; Languor, debility and pain, Insensibly encroach. 2 Life’s gaieties have charms no more, Its pleasures but appall: The busy scenes and toils are o’er, The honey turned to gall. 3 The lucid orbs of vision fail, And give a glimmering light; Successive clouds of grief prevail, Transforming day to night. 4 Associates and friends once dear, On earth are known no more; Minds uncongenial now appear, A race unknown before. 5 How dark the scene, how full of woe, Alas for hoary age; Yet grace will still a balm bestow, Their sorrows to assuage. 6 There is a friend who still abides, More dear than all that’s lost: And he who in this friend confides, May yet of comforts boast. 7 ’Tis Jesus, who will ne’er forsake, But make His friends His care; To Him your griefs and sorrows take, And He your griefs will share. 8 Soon will He bring your weary feet To His eternal rest; Then shall your joys be all complete, When in His mansion blessed.

We see no crown upon his head, No scepter in his hand. 3 “Where is the long and splendid track Of triumphs all his own; The arm to give to Judah back Her long lost, vacant throne? 4 “When He, the Lord in whom we trust, Shall come to bless our race, His enemies shall lick the dust, All nations seek His face. 5 And He, with pow’r by Heav’n assigned, The hearts of men shall draw To Moses’ rules, till all mankind Shall own no other law. 6 Alas! the veil was on their eyes, That hid the coming scene, And led them blindly to despise The lowly Nazarene. 7 A conqueror He o’er death and hell, Their armies to control, The proud rebellious thoughts to quell, And win the faithful soul. 8 A king, to whose divine command All pow’r and might are giv’n, To rule on earth in every land, And reign supreme in Heav’n. 9 A teacher of the will divine, Almighty to impart His righteous law; and, line on line, To write it on the heart. 10 He is our fortress and our rock, Our shepherd, called of old; For there shall be one happy flock, One Shepherd of the fold.

Forbid, O God, our covenant God, That those who seek Thy face Should see Thy servant put to shame And share in my disgrace. 6. It is for Thee I am reproached, For Thee I suffer shame, Until my brethren know me not, And hated is my name. 7. It is my zeal for Thy abode That has consumed my life; Reproached by those reproaching Thee, I suffer in the strife. 8. I wept, with fasting bowed my soul, Yet that was made my shame; When I in sackcloth clothed myself, Their byword I became. 9.
