I Have Followed Truth and Justice

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #265 (1934) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Longing for God or Christ Lyrics: 1 I have followed truth and justice; Leave me not in deep distress; Be my help and my protection, Let the proud no more oppress. For Thy word and Thy salvation, Lord, my eyes with longing fail; Teach Thy statutes to Thy servants, Let Thy mercy now prevail. 2 I am thine, O give me wisdom, Make me know Thy truth, I pray; Sinners have despised Thy statutes; Now, O Lord, Thy power display. Lord, I love Thy good commandments And esteem them more than gold; All Thy precepts are most righteous; Hating sin, to these I hold. Scripture: Psalm 119 Languages: English Tune Title: ROBINSON

Raise the fallen, cheer the faint, Heal the sick, and lead the blind. Just and holy is Thy Name, I am all unrighteousness; False and full of sin I am, Thou art full of truth and grace. 4 Plenteous grace with Thee is found, Grace to cover all my sin; Let the healing streams abound; Make me, keep me pure within. Thou of life the fountain art, Freely let me take of Thee; Spring Thou up within my heart, Rise to all eternity. Languages: English Tune Title: REFUGE

Thine I am, O spotless Lamb! I will suffer naught to hide Thee, Naught I ask beside Thee. 2 In Thine arms I rest me; Foes who would molest me Cannot reach me here. Though the earth be shaking, Every heart be quaking, Jesus calms my fear. Fires may flash and thunder crash, Yea, and sin and hell assail me, Jesus will not fail me. 3 Hence with earthly treasure! Thou art all my pleasure, Jesus, all my choice, Hence, thou empty glory! Naught to me thy story, Told with tempting voice. Pain or loss or shame or cross Shall not from my Savior move me, Since He deigns to love me. 4 Fare thee well that errest, Thou that earth preferrest, Thou wilt tempt in vain. Fare thee well, transgression! Hence, abhorred possession! Come not forth again. Past your hour, O pride and power! Worldly life, thy bonds I sever; Fare thee well forever! 5 Hence, all fear and sadness! For the Lord of gladness, Jesus, enters in. Those who love the Father, Though the storms may gather, Still have peace within. Yea, whate'er I here must bear, Thou are still my purest pleasure, Jesus, priceless treasure.

High o’er all the heavens He reigneth, Yet to dwell with thee He deigneth. 2 Hasten as a bride to meet Him, And with loving reverence greet Him; For with words of life immortal Now He knocketh at thy portal; Open wide the gates before Him, Saying, while thou dost adore Him, Suffer, Lord, that I receive Thee, And I never more will leave Thee. 3 Ah! how hungers all my spirit For the love I do not merit! Oft have I, with sighs fast thronging, Thought upon this food with longing; In the battle, well-nigh worsted, For this cup of life have thirsted, For the Friend, who here invites us, And to God Himself unites us. 4 Jesus, bread of life, I pray Thee, Let me gladly here obey Thee; By Thy love I am invited, Be Thy love with love requited. From this banquet let me measure, Lord, how vast and deep its treasure; Through the gifts Thou here dost give me As Thy guest in heaven receive me. Tune Title: SCHMÜCKE DICH, O LIEBE SEELE
