I Am Hated, Lord

Representative Text

1 I am hated LORD! by those;
Who Thy holy truth despise;
Save me from my wicked foes,
Lord of hosts arise, arise!

2 Thou’rt my rock and my defense;
Thou a tow'r unto Thy saints;
Thee I make my confidence;
Thee I’ll trust, though nature faints.

3 Glad Thy mercies will I sing.
All Thy pow'r and love confess;
Thou hast been, O heav'nly King,
My safe refuge in distress!

4 Songs with ev'ry morning’s light,
LORD, shall rise up to Thy throne;
All Thy saints shall praise Thy might,
And Thy mercy shall make known!

Author: William Allen

Allen, William, D.D., born at Pittsfield, Mass., 1784, graduated at Harvard, 1802. He became Pastor of Pittsfield, 1810; President of Dartmouth University, 1817, and of Bowdoin College, 1820-1839. He died at Northampton, 1868. He published the American Biographical and Historical Dictionary, 1809; Psalms and Hymns, 1835. The latter contains ver¬sions of all the Psalms, and 200 original hymns. Some of the hymns, especially those about slavery, are curious. Five are found in Campbell's Comprehensive Hymn Book, Lond., 1837. His compositions have almost entirely passed out of use. [Rev. F. M. Bird, M.A.] --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)  Go to person page >
