God our Support and Comfort; or, Deliverance from Temptation and Perfection
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #168 (1740) Topics: Deliverance from persecution; Persecution Victory over and Deliverance from it First Line: Who will arise and plead my Right Lyrics: 1 Who will arise and plead my Right
Against my num'rous Foes,
While Earth and Hell their Force unite,
And all my Hopes oppose?
2 Had not the Lord, my Rock, my Help,
Sustain'd my fainting Head,
My Life had now in Silence dwelt,
My Soul amongst the Dead.
3 Alas! my sliding Feet! I cry'd.
Thy Promise was my Prop;
Thy Grace stood constant by my Side,
Thy Spirit bore me up.
4 While Multitudes of mournful Thoughts
Within my Bosom roll,
Thy boundless Love forgives my Faults,
Thy Comforts chear my Soul.
5 Pow'rs of Iniquity may rise,
And frame pernicious Laws;
But GOD my Refuge, rules the Skies,
He will defend my Cause.
6 Let Malice vent her Rage aloud,
Let bold Blasphemers scoff;
The Lord our GOD shall judge the Proud,
And cut the Sinners off. Scripture: Psalm 94:16-23 Languages: English
God our Support and Comfort; or, Deliverance from Temptation and Perfection
Who shall the Lord's elect condemn?
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #289 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Persecution victory over, and deliverance from it Lyrics:
Who shall the Lord's elect condemn?
'Tis God that justifies their souls;
And mercy, like a mighty stream,
O'er all their sins divinely rolls.
Who shall adjudge the saints to hell?
'Tis Christ that suffered in their stead;
And, the salvation to fulfil,
Behold him rising from the dead!
He lives! he lives and sits above,
For ever interceding there:
Who shall divide us from his love?
Or what should tempt us to despair?
Shall persecution, or distress,
Famine, or sword, or nakedness?
He that hath loved us bears us through,
And makes us more than conquerors too.
Faith hath an overcoming power;
It triumphs in the dying hour:
Christ is our life, our joy, our hope,
Nor can we sink with such a prop.
Not all that men on earth can do,
Nor powers on high, nor powers below,
Shall cause his mercy to remove,
Or wean our hearts from Christ our love.
Scripture: Romans 8:33-39 Languages: English
Who shall the Lord's elect condemn?
We Praise Thee, O God, Our Lord and Our King
Author: Ambrose M. Schmidt, born 1857 Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #329 (1934) Meter: 10.10.11.11 Topics: Persecution Of Believers Lyrics: 1 We praise Thee, O God, our Lord and our King;
Accept Thou the praise we gratefully bring;
Thanksgiving and worship we offer to Thee,
Thou Ruler of nations, in whom we are free.
2 We praise Thee, O God, for Thy guiding hand,
In leading Thy Church to freedom's fair land;
Through sore persecution our fathers here came,
Where free and unfettered they worshiped Thy Name.
3 We praise Thee, O God, for years of increase,
For faith unassailed, prosperity, peace;
United we offer our anthem of praise
To Thee, our Supporter, our Ancient of Days.
4 We pray Thee, O Christ, our Savior and Friend,
From error and strife Thy Zion defend;
Breathe on us, we pray Thee, O Spirit of Love,
And fit us for union with Thy Church above.

When pain and anguish seize me, Lord
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #360 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Courage in persecution; Persecution courage in it Lyrics:
When pain and anguish seize me, Lord,
All my support is from thy word:
My soul dissolves for heaviness;
Uphold me with thy strength'ning grace.
The proud have framed their scoffs and lies,
They watch my feet with envious eyes,
And tempt my soul to snares and sin,
Yet thy commands I ne'er decline.
They hate me, Lord, without a cause,
They hate to see me love thy laws;
But I will trust and fear thy name,
Till pride and malice die with shame.
Scripture: Psalm 119 Languages: English
When pain and anguish seize me, Lord
Who will arise and plead my right
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #362 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Persecution victory over, and deliverance from it; Deliverance from persecution Lyrics:
Who will arise and plead my right
Against my num'rous foes,
While earth and hell their force unite,
And all my hopes oppose?
Had not the Lord, my rock, my help,
Sustained my fainting head,
My life had now in silence dwelt,
My soul amongst the dead.
"Alas! my sliding feet!" I cried;
Thy promise was my prop;
Thy grace stood constant by my side,
Thy Spirit bore me up.
While multitudes of mournful thoughts
Within my bosom roll,
Thy boundless love forgives my faults,
Thy comforts cheer my soul.
Powers of iniquity may rise,
And frame pernicious laws;
But God my refuge rules the skies,
He will defend my cause.
Let malice vent her rage aloud,
Let bold blasphemers scoff;
The Lord our God shall judge the proud
And cut the sinners off.
Scripture: Psalm 94:16-23 Languages: English
Who will arise and plead my right
O God, to whom revenge belongs
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #403 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Persecution victory over, and deliverance from it; Deliverance from persecution Lyrics:
O God, to whom revenge belongs,
"Proclaim thy wrath aloud;
Let sovereign power redress our wrongs,
Let justice smite the proud.
They say, "The Lord nor sees nor hears:"
When will the fools be wise?
Can he be deaf who formed their ears?
Or blind, who made their eyes?
He knows their impious thoughts are vain,
And they shall feel his power;
His wrath shall pierce their souls with pain
In some surprising hour.
But if thy saints deserve rebuke,
Thou hast a gentler rod;
Thy providences and thy book
Shall make them know their God.
Blest is the man thy hands chastise,
And to his duty draw;
Thy scourges make thy children wise
When they forget thy law.
But God will ne'er cast off his saints,
Nor his own promise break
He pardons his inheritance
For their Redeemer's sake.
Scripture: Psalm 94:7-14 Languages: English
O God, to whom revenge belongs
God Is Our Fortress and Our Rock
Author: Martin Luther; Michael A. Perry Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Gray) #468 (1987) Meter: 8.7.8.7.5.5.5.6.7 Topics: Enemies & Persecution; Enemies & Persecution Lyrics: 1 God is our fortress and our rock,
our mighty help in danger;
he shields us from the battle's shock
and thwarts the devil's anger;
for still the prince of night
prolongs evil's fight;
he uses all skill
to work his wicked will;
no earthly force is like him.
2 Our hope is fixed on Christ alone,
the Man of God's own choosing;
without him nothing can be won
and fighting must be losing;
so let the powers accursed
come try do their worst;
Christ Jesus shall ride
to battle at our side,
and he shall have the victory.
3 The word of God will not be slow
while demon hordes surround us,
though evil strike its cruelest blow
and death and hell confound us:
for though we meet distress,
lose all we possess;
those planning our ill
may ravage, wreck, or kill;
God's kingdom is immortal!
Scripture: Psalm 46 Languages: English Tune Title: EIN FESTE BURG (RHYTHMIC)
God Is Our Fortress and Our Rock
A Mighty Fortress Is Our God
Author: Martin Luther; Frederick Henry Hedge Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Gray) #469 (1987) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Topics: Enemies & Persecution; Enemies & Persecution Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God,
a bulwark never failing;
our helper he, amid the flood
of mortal ills prevailing.
For still our ancient foe
does seek to work us woe;
his craft and power are great,
and armed with cruel hate,
on earth is not his equal.
2 Did we in our own strength confide,
our striving would be losing,
were not the right Man on our side,
the Man of God's own choosing.
You ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is he;
Lord Sabaoth his name,
from age to age the same;
and he must win the battle.
3 And though this world, with devils filled,
should threaten to undo us,
we will not fear, for God has willed
his truth to triumph through us.
The prince of darkness grim,
we tremble not for him;
his rage we can endure,
for lo! his doom is sure;
one little word shall fell him.
4 That Word above all earthly powers–
no thanks to them– abideth;
the Spirit and the gifts are ours
through him who with us sideth.
Let goods and kindred go,
this mortal life also;
the body they may kill:
God's truth abideth still;
his kingdom is forever!
Scripture: Romans 8:35-39 Languages: English Tune Title: EIN FESTE BURG (ISORHYTHMIC)
