Psalms 34:19-20

• [Psa 34:19] I Asked The Lord That I Might Grow

  I asked the Lord that I might grow In faith, and love, and every grace; Might more of His salvation know, And seek, more earnestly, His face. ’Twas He who taught me thus to pray, And He, I trust, has answered prayer! But it has been in such a way, As almost drove me to despair. I hoped that in some favored hour, At once He’d answer my request; And by His love’s constraining pow’r, Subdue my sins, and give me rest. Instead of this, He made me feel The hidden evils of my heart; And let the angry pow’rs of hell Assault my soul in every part. Yea more, with His own hand He seemed Intent to aggravate my woe; Crossed all the fair designs I schemed, Blasted my gourds, and laid me low. Lord, why is this, I trembling cried, Wilt thou pursue thy worm to death? “’Tis in this way, the Lord replied, I answer prayer for grace and faith. These inward trials I employ, From self, and pride, to set thee free; And break thy schemes of earthly joy, That thou may’st find thy all in Me.”

Psalms 37:23

• [Psa 37:23] Steps Of Those Whom He Approves, The

  The steps of those whom He approves Are ordered by the Lord; And though they fall, held by His hand, They yet shall be restored. I have not seen, though since my youth Full many years have fled, The saint forsaken, nor beheld His children begging bread. The children of the merciful Find blessings kept in store; Depart from evil and do good, And live forevermore. Wait on the Lord and keep His way, And then, by Him approved, Thy heritage shall still remain When sinners are removed. Mark well the perfect, upright man, As still his years increase; Behold his life, and thou shalt see His journey end in peace.

Psalms 44:21

• [Psa 44:21] Great Mover Of All Hearts

  Great Mover of all hearts, whose hand Doth all the secret springs command Of human thought and will, Thou, since the world was made, dost bless Thy saints with fruits of holiness, Their order to fulfill. Faith, hope, and love here weave one chain; But love alone shall then remain When this short day is gone: O Love, O Truth, O endless Light, When shall we see Thy Sabbath bright With all our labors done? We sow ’mid perils here and tears; There the glad hand the harvest bears, Which here in grief hath sown: Great Three in One, the increase give; Thy gifts of grace, by which we live, With heavenly glory crown.

Psalms 62:5

• [Psa 62:5] Wait, O My Soul, Thy Maker’s Will

  Wait, O my soul, thy Maker’s will; Tumultuous passions, all be still! Nor let a murmuring thought arise; His ways are just, His counsels wise. He in the thickest darkness dwells, Performs His work, the cause conceals; But, though His methods are unknown, Judgment and truth support His throne. In heaven, and earth, and air, and seas He executes His firm decrees; And by His saints it stands confessed, That what He does is ever best. Wait, then, my soul, submissive wait; Prostrate before His awful seat; And, ’midst the terrors of His rod, Trust in a wise and gracious God.

Psalms 68:33

• [Psa 68:33] God Speaks To Us In Bird And Song

  God speaks to us in bird and song, In winds that drift the clouds along, Above the din and toil of wrong, A melody of love. God speaks to us in far and near, In peace of home and friends most dear, From the dim past and present clear, A melody of love. God speaks to us in darkest night, By quiet ways through mornings bright, When shadows fall with evening light, A melody of love. O Voice divine, speak Thou to me, Beyond the earth, beyond the sea, First let me hear, then sing to Thee, A melody of love.

• [Psa 73:25] In Sin I Once Had Wandered

E’er since I learned to trust Him, His grace doth make me free, And now I feel His pardon, He’s everything to me. Refrain He’s everything to me, From sin He sets me free, His peace and love my portion Through all eternity! He’s everything to me, More than I dreamed could be. O praise His Name forever! He’s everything to me. In sin no more I’ll wander; He’s Pilot, Friend, and Guide; He brings me joy and singing; His Spirit doth abide. A blessèd, loving Savior, The Lamb of Calvary!

And when He bids me welcome Throughout eternity, I’ll praise His Name forever. He’s everything to me. Refrain

Other lords have long held sway; Now Thy Name alone to bear, Thy dear voice alone obey, Is my daily, hourly prayer; Whom have I in heaven but Thee? Nothing else my joy can be. Jesus, Master, whom I serve, Though so feebly and so ill, Strengthen hand and heart and nerve All Thy bidding to fulfill; Open Thou mine eyes to see All the work Thou hast for me. Lord, Thou needest not, I know, Service such as I can bring, Yet I long to prove and show Full allegiance to my King. Jesus, let me always be In Thy service glad and free. Jesus, Master, I am Thine; Keep me faithful, keep me near; Let Thy presence in me shine All my homeward way to cheer, Jesus, at Thy feet I fall, O be Thou my all in all.

  Because thy trust is God alone, Thy refuge is the Highest One; No evil shall upon thee come, Nor plague approach thy guarded home. Angelic guards at His commands Will bear thee safely in their hands, Will keep thee, lest, if left alone, Thou dash thy foot against a stone. Though fierce and treacherous foes assail, Their power and wrath shall not prevail; Their cruel strength, their venomed spite, Thou shalt o’ercome with conquering might. Because on Me he set his love, I will his constant Savior prove, And since to him My Name is known, I will exalt him as Mine own. As oft as he shall call me on Me, Most gracious shall My answer be; I will be with him in distress, And in his trouble I will bless. Complete deliverance I will give, And honor him while he shall live; Abundant life I will bestow, To him, My full salvation show.

No ill shall enter where you dwell; Or if the plague come nigh, And sweep the wicked down to hell, ’Twill raise His saints on high. He’ll give His angels charge to keep Your feet in all their ways; To watch your pillow while you sleep, And guard your happy days. Their hands shall bear you, lest you fall And dash against the stones: Are they not servants at His call, And sent t’attend His sons? Adders and lions ye shall tread; The tempter’s wiles defeat; He that hath broke the serpent’s head Puts him beneath your feet. “Because on Me they set their love, I’ll save them,” saith the Lord; “I’ll bear their joyful souls above Destruction and the sword. “My grace shall answer when they call, In trouble I’ll be nigh; My power shall help them when they fall, And raise them when they die. “They that on earth My Name have known I’ll honor them in Heav’n; There My salvation shall be shown, And endless live be giv’n.”

Psalms 103:3

• [Psa 103:3] Holy God, We Praise Thy Name

  Holy God, we praise Thy Name; Lord of all, we bow before Thee! All on earth Thy scepter claim, All in Heaven above adore Thee; Infinite Thy vast domain, Everlasting is Thy reign. Hark! the loud celestial hymn Angel choirs above are raising, Cherubim and seraphim, In unceasing chorus praising; Fill the heavens with sweet accord: Holy, holy, holy, Lord. Lo! the apostolic train Join the sacred Name to hallow; Prophets swell the loud refrain, And the white robed martyrs follow; And from morn to set of sun, Through the Church the song goes on. Holy Father, Holy Son, Holy Spirit, Three we name Thee; While in essence only One, Undivided God we claim Thee; And adoring bend the knee, While we own the mystery. Thou art King of glory, Christ: Son of God, yet born of Mary; For us sinners sacrificed, And to death a tributary: First to break the bars of death, Thou has opened Heaven to faith. From Thy high celestial home, Judge of all, again returning, We believe that Thou shalt come In the dreaded doomsday morning; When Thy voice shall shake the earth, And the startled dead come forth. Therefore do we pray Thee, Lord: Help Thy servants whom, redeeming By Thy precious blood out-poured, Thou hast saved from Satan’s scheming. Give to them eternal rest In the glory of the blest. Spare Thy people, Lord, we pray, By a thousand snares surrounded: Keep us without sin today, Never let us be confounded. Lo, I put my trust in Thee; Never, Lord, abandon me.

  The highest joy that can be known To those who heav’nward wend— It is the Word of Life to own, And God to have as Friend; It is the Word of Life to own, And God to have as Friend. The Word doth give me wealth untold, All good it has in store; My deepest sorrows lose their hold To joys forevermore; My deepest sorrows loose their hold To joys forevermore. How often when in deep despair My soul has been restored, And when the tempter would ensnare ’Twould strength to stand afford; And when the tempter would ensnare ’Twould strength to stand afford. It tells me of a love divine, How Jesus’ blood was shed; Each day this joyous song is mine As paths of grace I tread; Each day this joyous song is mine As paths of grace I tread. When stars above shall shine no more God’s Word is still my light; When pleasures of this world are o’er, My joys shall reach their height; When pleasures of this world are o’er, My joys shall reach their height.
