Psalms 66:10-11

• [Psa 66:10] Gracious Father, Guard Thy Children

  Gracious Father, guard Thy children From the foe’s destructive power; Save, O save them, Lord, from falling In this dark and trying hour. Thou wilt surely prove Thy people, All our graces must be tried; But Thy Word illumes our pathway, And in God we still confide. We are in the time of waiting; Soon we shall behold our Lord, Wafted far away from sorrow, To receive our rich reward. Keep us, Lord, till Thine appearing, Pure, unspotted, from the world; Let Thy Holy Spirit cheer us Till Thy banner is unfurled. With what joyful exultation Shall the saints Thy banner see, When the Lord for whom we’ve waited Shall proclaim the jubilee! Freedom from this world’s pollutions; Freedom from all sin and pain; Freedom from the wiles of Satan, And from death’s destructive reign.

Psalms 80:3

• [Psa 80:3] Great Shepherd Who Leadest Thy People In Love

  Great Shepherd, who leadest Thy people in love, ’Mid cherubim dwelling, shine Thou from above; In might come and save us, Thy people restore, And we shall be saved when Thy face shines once more. O haste, Lord, to hear us and pity our woes, Afflictions our portion, despised by our foes; O Lord God Almighty, in mercy restore, And we shall be saved when Thy face shines once more. A place for Thy people, Thou, Lord, didst prepare, Thy vine deeply rooted rewarded Thy care; Its branches like cedars, majestic and free, Spread over the mountains from river to sea. Thy vineyard no longer Thy tender care knows, Defenseless, the victim and spoil of her foes; O turn, we beseech Thee, all glory is Thine, Look down in Thy mercy and visit Thy vine. The branch of Thy planting is burned and cut down, Brought nigh to destruction because of Thy frown; The man of Thy right hand with wisdom endue, The son of man strengthen Thy pleasure to do. When Thou shalt revive us Thy Name we shall praise, And nevermore turning, depart from Thy ways; O Lord God Almighty, in mercy restore, And we shall be saved when Thy face shines once more.

Psalms 85:7

• [Psa 85:7] Jesu, Show Us Thy Salvation

  Jesu, show us Thy salvation, In Thy strength we strive with Thee, By Thy mystic incarnation, By Thy pure nativity; Save us Thou, our New-Creator, Into all our souls impart, Thy divine, unsinning nature, Form Thyself within our heart. By Thy first blood-shedding heal us; Cut us off from every sin, By Thy circumcision seal us, Write Thy law of love within; By Thy Spirit circumcise us, Kindle in our hearts a flame; By Thy baptism baptize us Into Thy all glorious Name. By Thy fasting and temptation Mortify our vain desires, Take away what sense, or passion, Appetite, or flesh requires: Arm us with Thy self denial, Every tempted soul defend, Save us in the fiery trial, Make us faithful to the end. By Thy sorer sufferings save us, Save us when conformed to Thee, By Thy miseries receive us, By Thy painful agony; When beneath Thy frown we languish, When we feel Thine anger’s weight, Save us by Thine unknown anguish, Save us by Thy bloody sweat. By that highest point of passion, By Thy sufferings on the tree, Save us from the indignation Due to all mankind, and me; Hanging, bleeding, panting, dying, Gasping out Thy latest breath, By Thy precious death’s applying Save us from eternal death. From the world of care release us, By Thy decent burial save, Crucified with Thee, O Jesus, Hide us in Thy quiet grave: By Thy power divinely glorious, By Thy resurrection’s power Raise us up, o’er sin victorious, Raise us up to fall no more. By the pomp of Thine ascending, Live we here to Heaven restored, Live in pleasures never ending, Share the portion of our Lord: Let us have our conversation With the blessed spirits above, Saved with all Thy great salvation, Perfectly renewed in love. Glorious Head, triumphant Savior, High enthroned above all height, We have now through Thee found favor, Righteous in Thy Father’s sight: Hears He not Thy prayer unceasing? Can He turn away Thy face: Send us down the purchased blessing, Fulness of the Gospel-Grace. By the coming of Thy Spirit, As a mighty rushing wind, Save us into all Thy merit, Into all Thy sinless mind; Let the perfect gift be given, Let Thy will in us be seen, Done on earth as ’tis in Heaven, Lord, Thy spirit cries Amen!
