When God is nigh, my Faith is strong
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P16c (1766) Topics: Counsel and Support from God Lyrics: 1 When GOD is nigh, my Faith is strong,
His Arm is my Almighty Prop:
Be glad, my Heart; rejoice, my Tongue,
My dying Flesh shall rest in Hope.
2 Though in the Dust I lay my Head,
Yet, gracious GOD, thou wilt not leave
My Soul for ever with the Dead,
Nor lose thy Children in the Grave.
3 My Flesh shall thy first Call obey,
Shake off the Dust, and rise on high;
Then shalt thou lead the wond'rous Way
Up to thy Throne above the Sky.
4 There Streams of endless Pleasure flow,
And full Discov'ries of thy Grace,
(Which we but tasted here below)
Spread heav'nly Joys thro' all the Place. Scripture: Psalm 16 Languages: English

"Thy Presence Joys unknown."

Was crucify'd and slain;
Behold the Tomb its Prey restores,
Behold he lives again.

On Heav'n's eternal Hills?

1 Preserve me, Lord, in Time of Need,
For Succour to thy Throne I flee;

How empty and how poor I am;
My Praise can never make thee blest,
Nor add new Glories to thy Name.
3 Yet, Lord, thy Saints on Earth may reap
Some Profit by the Good we do;
These are the Company I keep,
These are the choicest friends I know.
4 Let others chuse the Sons of Mirth
To give a Relish to their Wine;
I love the Men of heav'nly Birth,
Whose Thoughts and Language are divine Scripture: Psalm 16 Languages: English

And through the dangers of the night,
A lamp to lead our way.

And better know the Lord.
5 Thy precepts make me truly wise:
I hate the sinner's road;
I hate my own vain thoughts that rise,
But love thy law, my God.
6 [The starry heavens thy rule obey,
The earth maintains her place;
And these thy servants night and day
Thy skill and power express.

Have lessons more divine;
Not earth stands firmer than thy word,
Nor stars so nobly shine.]
