Psalm 121 (I Will Lift Up My Eyes)

Tune: Abide With Me
“Eventide” by William H. Monk, 1861
[Key: B]

Verse 1
I will lift up my eyes unto the hills;
Where does my help come, where, but from the Lord?

And He shall guide my steps by His own word.

He never slumbers, while His own He keeps.
He will protect you, and shade you on your right;
And shield you from the sun, and moon by night.

God will protect from evil and from sin;
His promise keeps your soul, and will restore.
He guards your steps, your going out and in,
From now unto the end, forevermore.

Psalm 62 (My Soul Will Wait)

Music and words by Keaton Bunting and Bob Kauflin
Inspired by Psalm 62

[Key: E]

Verse 1
When the enemy surrounds,
And my heart grows faint within,
When the darkness overwhelms,
And my fears are pressing in,
I will trust in You, O Lord,
In the silence I will wait,
I will stand upon Your Word.

You’re my Solid Rock
And my Salvation,
My Steadfast Hope
That won’t be shaken,
My soul will wait,
My soul will wait for You!

Verse 2
You’re my Stronghold and my Shield,
In the midst of every threat.
Though the wicked never yield,
They will vanish like a breath.
Yes, I know the outcome’s sure,
Satan’s evil plans will fail
In Your power I’m secure.

Chorus
You’re my Solid Rock
And my Salvation,
My Steadfast Hope
That won’t be shaken,
My soul will wait,
My soul will wait for You!

Verse 3
This is love I can’t explain,
This is mercy unreserved.
Through Your sacrifice so great,
I have peace that’s undeserved
For the battle has been won!
And I fear no shame or loss
Now the sting of death is gone.

Chorus
You’re my Solid Rock
And my Salvation,
My Steadfast Hope
That won’t be shaken,
My soul will wait,
My soul will wait for You!

You’re my comfort
When I feel forsaken
My Refuge and my Sure Foundation
My soul will wait,
My soul will wait for You!

Bridge
Pouring out our hearts before You
We will trust in You!
Perfect Savior, strong defender
We will trust in You!

Chorus
You’re my Solid Rock
And my Salvation,
My Steadfast Hope
That won’t be shaken,
My soul will wait,
My soul will wait for You!

You’re my comfort
When I feel forsaken
My Refuge and my Sure Foundation
My soul will wait,
My soul will wait for You!

Psalm 34 (Tell His Praise)

Words: Timothy Dudley-Smith
Tune: Jesus, What A Friend for Sinners
“Hyfrydol” by R.H. Prichard
[Key: Db]

Verse 1
Tell His praise in song and story,
Bless the Lord with heart and voice;
In my God is all my glory,
Come before Him and rejoice.
Join to praise His Name together,
He who hears His people’s cry;
Tell His praise, come wind or weather,
Shining faces lifted high.

Verse 2
To the Lord whose love has found them
Cry the poor in their distress;
Swift His angels camped around them
Prove Him sure to save and bless.
God it is who hears our crying
Though the spark of faith be dim;
Taste and see! Beyond denying
Bless’d are those who trust in Him.

Verse 3
Taste and see! In faith draw near Him,
Trust the Lord with all your powers;
Seek and serve Him, love and fear Him,
Life and all its joys are ours:
True delight in holy living,
Peace and plenty, length of days;
Come, my children, with thanksgiving
Bless the Lord in songs of praise!

Verse 4
In our need He walks beside us,
Ears alert to every cry;
Watchful eyes to guard and guide us,
Love that whispers `It is I.’
Good shall triumph, wrong be righted,
God has pledged His promised word;
So with ransomed saints united
Join to praise our living Lord!

Psalm 144 (I’ll praise the Lord)

Words: Peter Ninnis
Tune: This is My Father’s World
“Terra Beata” by Franklin L. Sheppard, 1915
[Key: Bb]

Verse 1
I’ll praise the Lord, my rock
Who trains my hands for war;
Who is my loving God and shield,
And my deliverer.
Yet we are weak, and fail,
No stronger than a breath;
Lord, what is man, so small, so frail,
And shadowed deep by death?

Verse 2
Now part Your heav’ns, Lord,
Come down and show Your might;
Unveil the latent pow’r of God
In nature’s storm and light.
Descend in this dark hour
To scatter all deceit.
Revive Your work! Reveal Your pow’r,
And lying schemes defeat.

Verse 3
And, while we wait on God
For His restoring grace,
The new song planted in our soul
Awakes to His glad praise.
You are the King of Kings,
Our strong security;
Deliver us from those who lie,
And set Your servant free!

Verse 4
Then mercy great shall flow,
Our children’s faith increase;
Our sheep and cattle multiply,
Our harvests grow in peace.
No cries shall haunt our streets,
No threats of fire or sword—
How bless’d the land that knows such rest,
Whose people know the Lord!

For they Your word forever spurn.

Your judgements stand eternally.

Sing to Yahweh, sing a new song
For the wonders He has done;

In the sight of ev’ry nation He
His righteousness has shown.

With the harp your voices raise.

With the blast of horn and trumpet,
Shout before the Lord, the King.
Let the sea resound with praises,
Earth, with all its people sing.
Let the rivers in their gladness
Clap their hands with one accord;
Let the mountains sing together
And rejoice before the Lord.

For most surely He is coming,
Judge of all the earth to be.
Justly He will judge the peoples,
And the world with equity.
Sing to Yahweh, sing a new song
For the wonders He has done;
His right hand and arm most holy
Have for Him the vict’ry won!
