I reioyced, when they sayd to me, We wil go into the house of the Lord. (Psalme 122:1 Geneva Bible)
PETITIONARY HYMNS
POEM XI. Matt. viii. 25. Lord, save us, we perish.
Augustus Toplady (1740–1778)
Pilot of the soul, awake,
Save us for thy mercies’ sake;
Now rebuke the angry deep,
Save, O save thy sinking ship!
Stand at the helm, our vessel steer,
Mighty on our side appear
Saviour, teach us to descry
Where the rocks and quicksands lie.
The waves shall impotently roll,
If thou ’rt the anchor of the soul:
At thy word the wind shall cease,
Storms be hush’d to perfect peace.
Be thou our haven of retreat,
A rock to fix our wav’ring feet,
Teach us to own thy sovereign sway,
Whom the winds and seas obey.
—The Complete Works of Augustus Toplady (Sprinkle Publications, 1987).
Psalme 84 (Geneva Bible)
To him that excelleth upon Gittith.
A Psalme committed to the sonnes of Korah.
2 My soule longeth, yea, and fainteth for the courtes of the Lord: for mine heart and my flesh reioyce in the liuing God.
3 Yea, the sparrowe hath found her an house, and the swallow a nest for her, where she may lay her yong: euen by thine altars, O Lord of hostes, my King and my God.
4 Blessed are they that dwell in thine house: they will euer praise thee. Selah.
5 Blessed is the man, whose strength is in thee, and in whose heart are thy wayes.
6 They going through the vale of Baca, make welles therein: the raine also couereth the pooles.
7 They goe from strength to strength, till euery one appeare before God in Zion.
8 O Lord God of hostes, heare my prayer: hearken, O God of Iaakob. Selah.
9 Beholde, O God, our shielde, and looke vpon the face of thine Anointed.
10 For a day in thy courtes is better then a thousand other where: I had rather be a doore keeper in the House of my God, then to dwell in the Tabernacles of wickednesse.
11 For the Lord God is the sunne and shielde vnto vs: the Lord will giue grace and glory, and no good thing will he withhold from them that walke vprightly.
12 O Lord of hostes, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
Grace be with you, and Peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
