Hymn 44

Save Me, O God, By Thy Great Name

Verse 1

Save me, O God, by Thy great name and

judge me by Thy strength.

My prayer hear and to my words,

O God, give ear to me.

For they that strangers are to me,

do up against me rise;

Oppressors do not care for God

but seek to take my life.

Verse 2

The mighty God my Helper is;

lo, therefore I am bold.

He taketh part with ev’ry one, that doth

my soul uphold.

To all my watchful foes he will

their evil deeds repay;

O for Thy truth’s sake cut them off

and take them all away.

Last Verse

A freewill off’ring I to Thee

will bring in sacrifice.

Lord, of Thy name, for it is good;

Thy praises will I sing.

Because He hath delivered me

from all adversities;

And His desire mine eye hath seen, upon mine enemies.
