My Trust Is in My Heavenly Friend (EN 478)

EN 478 My Trust Is in My Heavenly Friend

Ps.7.1

Versi Version 1

1

My trust is in my heavenly Friend,

My hope in Thee, my God;

Rise and my helpless life defend

From those that seek my blood.

2

If I had e’er provoked them first,

Or once abused my foe,

Then let him tread my life to dust,

And lay mine honor low.

3

If there be malice found in me,

I know Thy piercing eyes;

I should not dare appeal to Thee,

Nor ask my God to rise.

4

Arise, my God, lift up Thy hand,

Their pride and power control;

Awake to judgment and command

Deliverance for my soul.

5

Let sinners and their wicked rage

Be humbled to the dust;

Shall not the God of truth engage

To vindicate the just?

6

He knows the heart, He tries the reins,

He will defend th’upright:

His sharpest arrows He ordains

Against the sons of spite.

7

For me their malice digged a pit,

But there themselves are cast;

My God makes all their mischief light

On their own heads at last.

8

That cruel persecuting race

Must feel His dreadful sword;

Awake, my soul, and praise the grace

And justice of the Lord.
