O LORD, How Many Enemies
Author: Mollie Knight Hymnal: Christian Worship #3B (2021) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Enemies Lyrics: 1 O LORD, how many enemies
arise and threaten life and limb!
How many talk of me and say,
"His God will not deliver him!"

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.

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

Love to Enemies from the Example of Christ
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #199a (1740) Topics: Christ his love to enemies; Enemies prayed for; Love to enemies First Line: God of my Mercy and my Praise Lyrics: 1 God of my Mercy and my Praise,
Thy Glory is my Song;
Though Sinners speak against thy Grace
With a blaspheming Tongue.

Thy Son on Earth was found,
With cruel Slanders, false and vain
They compass'd him around.

Their Peace he still pursu'd;
They render Hatred for his Love,
And Evil for his Good.
4 Their Malice rag'd without a Cause,
Yet, with his dying Breath,
He pray'd for Murd'rers on the Cross,
And blessed his Foes in death.
5 Lord, shall thy bright Example shine
In vain before my Eyes?
Give me a Soul a-kin to thine,
To love my Enemies.
6 The Lord shall on my Side engage,
And, in my Savior's Name,
I shall defeat their Pride and Rage
Who slander and condemn. Scripture: Psalm 109:1-5 Languages: English
