Psalms 71:1-2

• [Psa 71:1] In Thee, O Lord, I Put My Trust

  In Thee, O Lord, I put my trust; Shamed let me never be; O save me in Thy righteousness, Give ear, and rescue me. Be Thou my rock, my dwelling place, Forever mine, as now; Salvation Thou hast willed for me, My rock and fortress, Thou. Deliver me from wicked hands, Save me from men unjust, For Thou, Jehovah, art my hope, From youth Thou art my trust. Thou hast upheld me in Thy grace, From childhood’s early days; To Thee from whom I life received Will I give constant praise. Though troubles great o’ershadow me, Thou art my refuge strong, My mouth shall praise Thee all the day, Thine honor be my song. Cast me not off when hoary age Becomes my weary lot, And in the days of failing strength Do Thou forsake me not. My foes are strong and confident For I to them appear As one forsaken by his God, With none to help me near. My God, be Thou not far from me, Make haste to hear my call; Ashamed, consumed be all my foes, Dishonored let them fall. But I will ever hope in Thee, My ceaseless praise is Thine; I will declare Thy countless deeds Of truth and grace divine. Yea, I will tell the mighty acts Performed by God the Lord; Thy righteousness and Thine alone, With praise I will record.

• [Psa 71:1] My Savior, My Almighty Friend

  My Savior, my almighty Friend, When I begin Thy praise, Where will the growing numbers end, The numbers of Thy grace? Thou art my everlasting trust, Thy goodness I adore; And since I knew Thy graces first, I speak Thy glories more. My feet shall travel all the length Of the celestial road, And march with courage in Thy strength, To see my Father God. When I am filled with sore distress For some surprising sin, I’ll plead Thy perfect righteousness, And mention none but Thine. How will my lips rejoice to tell The victories of my King! My soul, redeemed from sin and hell, Shall Thy salvation bring. My tongue shall all the day proclaim My Savior and my God; His death has brought my foes to shame, And drowned them in His blood. Awake, awake, my tuneful powers; With this delightful song I’ll entertain the darkest hours Nor think the season long.

• [Psa 71:2] Eternal Father, Strong To Save

  Eternal Father, strong to save, Whose arm hath bound the restless wave, Who biddest the mighty ocean deep Its own appointed limits keep; Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee, For those in peril on the sea! O Christ! Whose voice the waters heard And hushed their raging at Thy Word, Who walked on the foaming deep, And calm amidst its rage didst sleep; Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee, For those in peril on the sea! Most Holy Spirit! Who didst brood Upon the chaos dark and rude, And bid its angry tumult cease, And give, for wild confusion, peace; Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee, For those in peril on the sea! O Trinity of love and power! Our family shield in danger’s hour; From rock and tempest, fire and foe, Protect us wheresoever we go; Thus evermore shall rise to Thee Glad hymns of praise from land and sea.

• [Psa 71:2] Strong, Righteous Man Of Galilee

  Strong, righteous Man of Galilee, Robed with Thy peace we follow Thee: In temple court, Thy cleansing rod; On Pharisees, the scorn of God. Robed with Thy peace we follow Thee, Strong, righteous Man of Galilee. Firm, peaceful Man of Galilee, Girt with Thy strength we follow Thee: Not to revenge, but heal and pray, To turn the cheek and tribute pay: Girt with Thy strength we follow Thee, Firm, peaceful Man of Galilee. Calm, suffering Man of Galilee, Clad in Thy grace we follow Thee: Love at the well, share Martha’s loss, Forgive the nails, and take the cross. Clad in Thy grace we follow Thee, Calm, suffering Man of Galilee. God’s peaceful Man of Galilee, Love’s triumph, we shall follow Thee: To crumble every boundary wall, Build highways to the hearts of all. Love’s triumph, we shall follow Thee, God’s peaceful Man of Galilee.
