By A Collection of Hymns

      6-7s. Psalm iii.
      1 THOU, Lord, art a shield for me,
      Succour still I find in thee;
      Now thou liftest up my head,
      Now I glory in thine aid,
      Confident in thy defence,
      Strong in thine omnipotence.

      2 To the Lord I cried; the cry
      Brought my helper from the sky;
      By my kind protector kept,
      Safe I laid me down and slept,
      Slept within his arms, and rose;
      Blest him for the sweet repose.

      3 Thine it is, O Lord, to save;
      Strength in thee thy people have;
      Safe from sin in thee they rest,
      With the gospel-blessing blest,
      Wait to see the perfect grace,
      Heaven on earth in Jesu's face.
