Poem by Isaac Watts

Psalm 144. Part 1 (For ever blessed be the Lord)

v.1,2
C. M.
Assistance and victory in the spiritual warfare.

For ever blessed be the Lord,
My Savior and my shield;
He sends his Spirit with his word,
To arm me for the field.

When sin and hell their force unite,
He makes my soul his care,
Instructs me to the heav'nly fight,
And guards me through the war.

A friend and helper so divine
Does my weak courage raise;
He makes the glorious vict'ry mine,
And his shall be the praise.

1. I Love the Volumes of Thy Word
2. Psalm 112 (Happy is he that fears the Lord)
3. Psalm 51. Part 1 (Show pity, Lord, O Lord, forgive)
4. Hymn 74 (We are a garden walled around)
5. Psalm 133 (Blest are the sons of peace)
