My Rock, my Tow'r, my high Defence;
Thy mighty Arm shall be my Trust,

Stood round me with their dismal Shade;

With endless Pains and Sorrows there,
(Which none but they that feel can tell)

He bow'd his Ear to my Complaint;
Then did his Grace appear divine.

As on a Cherub's Wing he rode;
Awful and bright as Lightning shone
The Face of my Deliv'rer GOD.

He sent Salvation from on high,
And drew me from the Deeps of Death.]

Complaints under Temptations of the Devil
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #22b (1740) Topics: Deliverance from Temptations; Temptations of the devil First Line: How long wilt thou conceal thy Face? Lyrics: 1 How long wilt thou conceal thy Face?
My GOD, how long delay?
When shall I feel those heavenly Rays
That chace my Fears away?

Wrestle and toil in vain?
Thy Word can all my Foes controul,
And ease my raging Pain.
3 See how the Prince of Darkness tries
All his malicious Arts
He spreads a Mist around my Eyes,
And throws his fiery Darts.
4 Be thou my Sun, and thou my Shield,
My Soul in Safety keep;
Make Haste, before mine Eyes are seal'd
In Death's eternal Sleep.
5 How would the Tempter boast aloud
If I become his Prey!
Behold the Sons of Hell grow proud
At thy so long Delay.
6 But they shall fly at thy Rebuke,
And Satan hide his Head;
He knows the Terrors of thy Look,
And hears thy Voice with Dread.
7 Thou wilt display that sov'reign Grace,
Where all my Hopes have hung;
I shall employ my Lips in Praise,
And Vict'ry shall be sung. Scripture: Psalm 13 Languages: English

Thee will I love, O Lord, my strength,
My rock, my tower, my high defence:
Thy mighty arm shall be my trust,
For I have found salvation thence.
Death, and the terrors of the grave,
Stood round me with their dismal shade;
While floods of high temptations rose,
And made my sinking soul afraid.
I saw the op'ning gates of hell,
With endless pains and sorrows there,
Which none but they that feel can tell;

In my distress I called my God,
When I could scarce believe him mine:
He bowed his ear to my complaint,
Then did his grace appear divine.
With speed he flew to my relief,
As on a cherub's wing he rode;
Awful and bright as lightning shone
The face of my deliverer, God.
Temptations fled at his rebuke,
The blast of his almighty breath;
He sent salvation from on high,
And drew me from the deeps of death.
Great were my fears, my foes were great,
Much was their strength, and more their rage;
But Christ, my Lord, is conqueror still,
In all the wars that devils wage.
My song for ever shall record
That terrible, that joyful hour;
And give the glory to the Lord,
Due to his mercy and his power

And make Jehovah's arm their song;

With mingled cruelty and rage?
A faithful God restrains their hands,
And chains them down in iron bands.
3 Bound by his word, he will display
A strength proportion'd to our day.
And, when united trials meet,
Will shew a path of safe retreat.
4 Thus far we prove that promise good,
Which Jesus ratified with blood;
Still is he gracious, wise, and just,
And still in him let Israel trust.

Lord, thou hast seen my soul sincere,
Hast made thy truth and love appear;
Before mine eyes I set thy laws,
And thou hast owned my righteous cause.
Since I have learned thy holy ways,
I've walked upright before thy face;
Or if my feet did e'er depart,
'Twas never with a wicked heart.
What sore temptations broke my rest!
What wars and strugglings in my breast!
But through thy grace, that reigns within,
I guard against my darling sin:
That sin which close besets me still,
That works and strives against my will:
When shall thy Spirit's sovereign power
Destroy it, that it rise no more?
[With an impartial hand, the Lord
Deals out to mortals their reward;
The kind and faithful souls shall find
A God as faithful and as kind.
The just and pure shall ever say,
Thou art more pure, more just than they;
And men that love revenge shall know
God hath an arm of vengeance too.]

Just are thy ways, and true thy word,
Great Rock of my secure abode:
Who is a God beside the Lord?
Or where's a refuge like our God?
'Tis he that girds me with his might,
Gives me his holy sword to wield,
And while with sin and hell I fight,
Spreads his salvation for my shield.
He lives, and blessed be my Rock!
The God of my salvation lives:
The dark designs of hell are broke;
Sweet is the peace my Father gives.
Before the scoffers of the age
I will exalt my Father's name,
Nor tremble at their mighty rage,
But meet reproach, and bear the shame.
To David and his royal seed
Thy grace for ever shall extend;
Thy love to saints in Christ their Head
Knows not a limit, nor an end.

We love thee, Lord, and we adore;
Now is thine arm revealed:
Thou art our strength, our heav'nly tower,
Our bulwark, and our shield.
We fly to our eternal Rock,
And find a sure defence;
His holy name our lips invoke,
And draw salvation thence.
When God, our Leader, shines in arms,
What mortal heart can bear
The thunder of his loud alarms,
The lightning of his spear?
He rides upon the winged wind,
And angels in array
In millions wait to know his mind,
And swift as flames obey.
He speaks, and at his fierce rebuke
Whole armies are dismayed;
His voice, his frown, his angry look,
Strikes all their courage dead.
He forms our generals for the field,
With all their dreadful skill;
Gives them his awful sword to wield,
And makes their hearts of steel.
[He arms our captains to the fight,
(Though there his name's forgot;
He girded Cyrus with his might,
But Cyrus knew him not.)
Oft has the Lord whole nations blessed
For his own church's sake;
The powers that give his people rest,
Shall of his care partake.]
