The golden rule she has pursued

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: Global Praise 1 (Rev. ed.) #53 (2000) Topics: Ministry with the poor Lyrics: 1 The golden rule she has pursued, and did to others as she would others should do to her: justice composed her upright soul, justice did all her thoughts control, and formed her character. 2 Affliction, poverty, disease, drew out her soul in soft distress, the wretched to relieve: in all the works of love employed, her sympathizing soul enjoyed the blessedness to give. 3 Her Savior in his members seen, a stranger she received him in, an hungry Jesus fed, tended her sick, imprisoned Lord, and flew in all his wants to afford her ministerial aid. 4 A nursing mother to the poor, for them she husbanded her store, her life, her all, bestowed; for them she labored day and night, in doing good her whole delight, in copying after God. 5 Away, my tears and selfish sighs! The happy saint in paradise requires us not to mourn; but rather keep her life in view, and still her shining steps pursue, till all to God return. Languages: English Tune Title: CORNWALL

Be Thou My Helper in the Strife

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #67 (1934) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Topics: The Poor Lyrics: 1 Be Thou my helper in the strife, O Lord, my strong Defender be; Thy mighty shield protect my life, Thy spear confront the enemy. Amid the conflict, O my Lord, Thy precious promise let me hear, The faithful, reassuring word: I am thy Savior, do not fear. 2 Ashamed, confounded let them be Who seek my ruin and disgrace; O let Thy angel fight for me, And drive my foes before his face. Without a cause my life they sought, Without a case their plots they laid; Themselves within their snares be caught, And be my crafty foes dismayed. 3 My soul is joyful in the Lord, In His salvation I rejoice; To Him my heart will praise accord And bless His Name with thankful voice. For who, O Lord, is like to Thee, Defender of the poor and meek? The needy Thy salvation see When mighty foes their ruin seek. 4 Unrighteous witnesses have stood And told of crimes beyond belief; Returning evil for my good, They overwhelm my soul with grief. When in affliction they were sad, I wept and made their grief my own; But in my trouble they are glad And strive that I may be o'erthrown. 5 O Lord, how long wilt Thou delay? My soul for Thy salvation waits; My thankfulness I will display Amid the crowds that throng Thy gates. Let not my enemies rejoice And wrongfully exult o'er me; They speak not peace, but lift their voice To trouble those that peaceful be. 6 My foes with joy my woes survey, But Thou, O Lord, hast seen it all; O be no longer far away, Nor silent when on Thee I call. O haste to my deliverance now, O Lord, my righteous cause maintain; My Lord and God alone art Thou; Awake, and make thy justice plain. 7 O Lord my God, I look to Thee, Be Thou my righteous Judge, I pray; Let not my foes exult o'er me And laugh with joy at my dismay. With shame and trouble those requite Who would my righteous cause destroy; But those who in the good delight, Let them be glad and shout for joy. 8 Yea, let the Lord be magnified, Because Thy servants Thou dost bless; And I, from morn till eventide, Will daily praise Thy righteousness. My soul is joyful in the Lord, In His salvation I rejoice; To Him my heart will praise accord And bless His Name with thankful voice. Scripture: Psalm 35 Languages: English Tune Title: HE LEADETH ME

How Blest the Man Who Thoughtfully

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #79 (1934) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: The Poor Lyrics: 1 How blest the man who thoughtfully The poor and weak befriends; Deliverance in the evil day To him Jehovah sends. The Lord will keep him, guard his life, On earth he shall be blest; The Lord will not surrender him By foes to be distressed. 2 Upon the bed of suffering Jehovah will sustain, And in his sickness God will soothe The weariness and pain. O Lord, to Thee my cry ascends, Let me Thy mercy see; Heal Thou my soul, for I have sinned, I have offended Thee. 3 My enemies against me speak, And they my life have scorned; They wish my name to pass away, Unhonored and unmourned. My foe, deceitful, visits me, By seeming kindness led, His heart intent on gathering Some hurtful news to spread. 4 My foes, together whispering, Their evil plans devise; Disease, they say, cleaves fast to him, Laid low, he shall not rise. Yea, he who was my chosen friend, In whom I put my trust, Who ate my bread, now turns in wrath To crush me in the dust. 5 Do Thou, Jehovah, show me grace, And raise me up again, That I with justice may requite These base and wicked men. By this I know assuredly That I am loved by Thee, Because my foe does not exult In triumph over me. 6 And as for me, in uprightness Thou dost uphold me well, And settest me before Thy face Forevermore to dwell. Blest be Jehovah, Israel's God For evermore. Amen. Let age to age eternally Repeat His praise. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 41 Languages: English Tune Title: DEDEKAM

Thrice happy Man, who fears the Lord

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P112b (1766) Topics: Charity to the poor Lyrics: 1 Thrice happy Man, who fears the Lord, Loves his Commands, and trusts his Word; Honour and Peace his Days attend, And Blessings to his Seed descend. 2 Compassion dwells upon his Mind, To Works of Mercy still inclin'd; He lends the Poor some present Aid, Or gives them, not to be repaid. 3 When times grow dark, and Tidings spread That fill his Neighbours round with Dread, His Heart is arm'd against the Fear, For GOD with all his Pow'r is there. 4 His Soul well fix'd upon the Lord, Draws heav'nly Courage from his Word; Amidst the Darkness Light shall rise, To chear his Heart and bless his Eyes. 5 He hath dispers'd his Alms abroad; His Works are still before his God; His Name on Earth shall long remain, While envious Sinners fret in vain.
