I I love the Lord, His strength is mine; He is my God, I

trust His grace ;

63 64

My for-tress high,my shield di- vine, My Sav-iour and my hid

ing - place.

2 My prayer to God shall still be raised 6 Thick darkness hides Him from the
When troubles thick around me close;
The Lord, most worthy to be praised,
Will rescue me from all my foes.

3 When, floods of evil raging near,

view, [veil, And swelling clouds His presence Until His glorious light breaks through In lightning flash and glistening hail.

Down nigh to death my soul was 7 Jehovah's thunders fill the heaven,

brought,

I cried to God in all my fear;

He heard and great deliverance wrought.

The dreadful voice of God Most
High;
[riven,

With shafts of light the clouds are
His foes, dismayed, in terror fly.

4 He came: the earth's foundations 8 The raging torrents overflow,
quake,

The hills are shaken from their place, Thick smoke and fire devouring break In anger dread before His face.

5 Descending through the bending skies,
With gloom and darkness under
Him,

Forth through the storm Jehovah flies
As on the wings of cherubim.

And sweep the world's foundations bare,

Because Thy blasts of anger blow,

O Lord of earth and sea and air.

9 He took me from the whelming waves Of bitter hate and sore distress; The Lord, my stay and helper, saves, Though mighty foes around me press.

10 From direful straits He set me free,
He saved the man of His delight;
For good the Lord rewarded me,
Because I kept His ways aright.

Day un to day pro-claims His might, And night His wisdom tells

to night.

2 Aloud they do not speak, They utter forth no word, Nor into language break,

Their voice is never heard;

Yet through the world the truth they bear

And their Creator's

power declare.

3 The clouds of heaven are spread,
A tent to hold the sun,
And like a bridegroom fair

Comes forth the mighty one,
Rejoicing in his strength and grace
To run his wondrous daily race.

4 His daily going forth

Is from the end of heaven;

The firmament to him

Is for his circuit given;

His journey reaches to its ends,
And everywhere his heat extends.

[Stanzas 5-9]

2 The Lord's commands are pure,
They light and joy restore;
Jehovah's fear is clean,
Enduring evermore;

His statutes, let the world confess,
Are wholly truth and righteousness.

3 They are to be desired

Above the finest gold;

Than honey from the comb

More sweetness far they hold;

With warnings they Thy servant guard,
In keeping them is great reward.

4 His errors who can know?
Cleanse me from hidden stain;
Keep me from wilful sins,

Nor let them o'er me reign;
And then I upright shall appear
And be from great transgressions clear.
5 When Thou dost search my life,
May all my thoughts within
And all the words I speak
Thy full approval win.

O Lord, Thou art a rock to me,
And my Redeemer Thou shalt be.
