Hymnal: The Psalms of David #38 (1740) First Line: Now may the GOD of Pow'r and Grace Lyrics: 1 Now may the GOD of Pow'r and Grace
Attend his People's humble Cry!
Jehovah hears when Isr'el prays,
And brings Deliv'rance from on high.
2 The Name of Jacob's GOD defends
Better than Shields or brazen Walls;
He from his Sanctuary sends
Succour and Strength when Zion calls.
3 Well he remembers all our sighs,
His Love exceeds our best Deserts;
His Love accepts the Sacrifice
Of humble Groans and broken Hearts.
4 In his Salvation is our Hope,
And, in the Name of Isr'el's GOD,
Our Troops shall lift their Banners up,
Our Navies spread their Flags abroad.
5 Some trust in Horses train'd for War,
And some in Chariots make their Boasts:
Our surest Expeditions are
From Thee, the Lord of heav'nly Hosts.
6 [O may the Mem'ry of thy Name
Inspire our Armies for the Fight!
Our Foes shall fall and die with Shame,
Or quit the Field with shameful flight.]
7 Now save us, Lord, from slavish Fear,
Now let our Hope be firm and strong,
Till the Salvation shall appear,
And Joy and Triumph raise the Song. Topics: For a Day of Prayer in Time of War; Church God fights for her; Prayer in time of war; Victory hoped and prayed for Scripture: Psalm 20 Languages: English
