84c. LORD God of Hosts

1 LORD God of hosts, in mercy
My supplication hear;
Almighty and all-faithful,
Our fathers' God, give ear;
Our shield and great defender,
No longer hide Thy face,
But look upon Thy servant,
Anointed by Thy grace.

2 In Thy bless'd courts to worship,
My God, a single day
Is better than a thousand
While far from Thee I stray;
Though in a lowly station,
the service of my LORD
I choose above all pleasures
That sinful ways afford.

3 A sun and shield forever
Is God, the LORD Most High;
To those who walk uprightly
No good will He deny.
His saints, His grace receiving,
Shall soon His glory see;
O LORD of Hosts, most blessed
Are they that trust in Thee.
