God Leads Us Along
Author: G. A. Young Hymnal: Worship and Song #3031 (2011) Meter: Irregular with refrain Topics: Evil; Evil First Line: In shady, green pastures, so rich and so sweet Refrain First Line: Some through the waters, some through the flood Lyrics: 1 In shady, green pastures, so rich and so sweet,
God leads his dear children along;
where the water’s cool flow bathes the weary one’s feet,
God leads his dear children along.
Refrain:
Some through the waters, some through the flood,
some through the fire, but all through the blood;
some through great sorrow, but God gives a song,
in the night season and all the day long.
2 Sometimes on the mount where the sun shines so bright,
God leads his dear children along;
sometimes in the valley, in darkest of night,
God leads his dear children along. [Refrain]
3 Though sorrows befall us and evils oppose,
God leads his dear children along;
through grace we can conquer, defeat all our foes,
God leads his dear children along. [Refrain]

Psalm 11
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.22 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Evil magistrates; Times evil First Line: My refuge is the God of love Lyrics:
My refuge is the God of love;
Why do my foes insult and cry,
"Fly like a tim'rous, trembling dove,
To distant woods or mountains fly?"
If government be all destroyed,
(That firm foundation of our peace,)
And violence make justice void,
Where shall the righteous seek redress?
The Lord in heav'n has fixed his throne,
His eye surveys the world below:
To him all mortal things are known,
His eyelids search our spirits through.
If he afflicts his saints so far,
To prove their love and try their grace,
What may the bold transgressors fear?
His very soul abhors their ways.
On impious wretches he shall rain
Tempests of brimstone, fire, and death;
Such as he kindled on the plain
Of Sodom, with his angry breath.
The righteous Lord loves righteous souls,
Whose thoughts and actions are sincere;
And with a gracious eye beholds
The men that his own image bear.

O LORD, How Many Enemies

arise and threaten life and limb!
How many talk of me and say,
"His God will not deliver him!"
2 But you surround me like a shield,
my glory, raising high my head;
you answer from your holy hill
whenever, LORD, with you I plead.
3 I take my sleep and wake again
sustained by you and fortified;
I will not fear ten thousand men
assailing me from ev'ry side.
4 Arise, O LORD! Deliver me
and overturn their evil ways;
deliv'rance, LORD, is yours alone:
O bless your people all their days! Scripture: Psalm 3 Languages: English Tune Title: IN TREMBLING HANDS
O LORD, How Many Enemies

Lord, if thou dost not soon appear
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P12a (1766) Topics: Evil times; Saints safety in evil times Lyrics: 1 Lord, if thou dost not soon appear,
Virtue and truth will fly away;
A faithful Man amongst us here
Will scarce be found, if thou delay.
2 The whole Discourse when Neighbors meet,
Is fill'd with Trifles loose and vain;
Their Lips are Flatt'ry and Deceit,
And their proud Language is profane.
3 But Lips that with Deceit abound
Shall not maintain their Triumph long;
The God of Vengeance will confound
The flatt'ring and blaspheming Tongue.
4 "Yet shall our Words be free, they cry;
"Our Tongues shall be controul'd by none:
"Where is the Lord will ask us why?
"Or, say, our Lips are not our own?"
5 The Lord, who sees the Poor opprest,
And hears th' Oppressor's haughty Strain,
Will rise to give his Children Rest,
Nor shall they trust his Word in vain.
6 Thy Word, O Lord, tho' often try'd,
Void of Deceit shall still appear;
Not Silver seven Times purify'd
From Dross and Mixture shines so clear.
7 Thy Grace shall in the darkest Hour
Defend the holy Soul from Harm;
Tho' when the vilest Men have Power,
On ev'ry Side will Sinners swarm. Scripture: Psalm 12 Languages: English
Lord, if thou dost not soon appear
Help, Lord, for Men of Virtue fail
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P12b (1766) Topics: Evil times; Saints safety in evil times Lyrics: 1 Help, Lord, for Men of Virtue fail,
Religion loses Ground;
The Sons of Violence prevail,
And Treacheries abound.
2 Their Oaths and Promises they break,
Yet act the Flatterer's Part;
With fair deceitful Lips they speak,
And with a double Heart.
3 If we reprove some hateful Lye,
How is their Fury stirr'd?
"Are not our Lips our own, they cry,
"And who shall be our Lord?"
4 Scoffers appear on every Side,
Where a vile Race of Men
Is rais'd to Seats of Pow'r and Pride,
And bears the Sword in vain.
Pause.
5 Lord, when Iniquities abound,
And Blasphemy grows bold,
When Faith is hardly to be found,
And Love is waxen cold;
6 Is not thy Chariot hast'ning on;
Hast thou not giv'n this Sign;
May we not trust and live upon
A Promise so divine?
7 "Yes, saith the Lord, now will I rise,
"And make Oppressors flee;
"I shall appear to their Surprize,
"And set my Servants free.
8 Thy Word, like Silver seven Times try'd,
Thro' Ages shall endure;
Then Men that in thy Truth confide,
Shall find the Promise sure. Scripture: Psalm 12 Languages: English
Help, Lord, for Men of Virtue fail
How Long, O Lord, Will You Forget
Author: Barbara Woollett Hymnal: Psalms for All Seasons #13D (2012) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Evil Lyrics: 1 How long, O Lord, will you forget
an answer to my prayer?
No tokens of your love I see,
your face is turned away from me;
I wrestle with despair.
2 How long, O Lord, will you forsake
and leave me in this way?
When will you come to my relief?
My heart is overwhelmed with grief,
by evil night and day.
3 How long, O Lord? But you forgive
with mercy from above.
I find that all your ways are just,
I learn to praise you and to trust
in your unfailing love. Scripture: Psalm 13 Tune Title: HOW LONG
How Long, O Lord, Will You Forget
Terrible God, who reign'st on high
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #16 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Evil magistrates; Times evil Lyrics:
Terrible God, that reign'st on high,
How awful is thy thund'ring hand!
Thy fiery bolts, how fierce they fly!
Nor can all earth or hell withstand.
This the old rebel angels knew,
And Satan fell beneath thy frown;
Thine arrows struck the traitor through,
And weighty vengeance sunk him down.
This Sodom felt, and feels it still,
And roars beneath th' eternal load:
"With endless burnings who can dwell?
Or bear the fury of a God?"
Tremble, ye sinners, and submit,
Throw down your arms before his throne;
Bend your heads low beneath his feet,
Or his strong hand shall crush you down.
And ye, blest saints, that love him too,
With rev'rence bow before his name;
Thus all his heav'nly servants do:
God is a bright and burning flame.
Scripture: Psalm 11 Languages: English
Terrible God, who reign'st on high
O Lord, Be Thou My Helper True
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #18 (1934) Meter: 8.8.6 D Topics: Evil Character Lyrics: 1 O Lord, be Thou my helper true,
For just and godly men are few;
The faithful who can find?
From truth and wisdom men depart,
With flattering lips and double heart
They speak their evil mind.
2 The lips that speak, the truth to hide,
The tongues of arrogance and pride,
That boastful words employ,
False-speaking tongues that boast their might,
That own no law, that know no right,
Jehovah will destroy.
3 Because the poor are sore oppressed,
Because the needy are distressed,
And bitter are their cries,
The Lord will be their Helper strong;
To save them from contempt and wrong
Jehovah will arise.
4 Jehovah's promises are sure,
His words are true, His words are pure
As silver from the flame.
Though base men walk on every side,
His saints are safe, whate'er betide,
Protected by His Name. Scripture: Psalm 12 Languages: English Tune Title: BREMEN
O Lord, Be Thou My Helper True
