PSALM XX.
In time of need the Lord allow
Thy pray'r, and ratify thy vow;
May Jacob's God admit thy claim,
And save thee in his holy name.
Thy pray'r, and ratify thy vow;
May Jacob's God admit thy claim,
And save thee in his holy name.
Christ Jesus from his bosom send
Assistance, and thy peace defend;
From heavenly Zion midst the throng
Of cherub angels make thee strong.
Assistance, and thy peace defend;
From heavenly Zion midst the throng
Of cherub angels make thee strong.
Remember thy devoted gift,
And all thine orisons uplift;
His face to bless thy censer turn,
And meet thine odours, as they burn.
And all thine orisons uplift;
His face to bless thy censer turn,
And meet thine odours, as they burn.
To thy good purposes aspire,
And grant thee all thy soul's desire;
To his commands direct thy will,
And all thou hast at heart fulfill.
And grant thee all thy soul's desire;
To his commands direct thy will,
And all thou hast at heart fulfill.
We will rejoice in God's applause
To thy good work, and in his cause,
While we the streaming flags unrief,
Proclaim the Lord accept our chief.
To thy good work, and in his cause,
While we the streaming flags unrief,
Proclaim the Lord accept our chief.
Nor know I that my pray'r has place,
And God presents me with his grace,
That from the holiest heav'n he hears,
And his right hand my vessel steers.
And God presents me with his grace,
That from the holiest heav'n he hears,
And his right hand my vessel steers.
Some on the prancing steed confide,
And some in chariots proudly ride;
But we to great Jehova trust,
And prostrate to the Lord our dust.
And some in chariots proudly ride;
But we to great Jehova trust,
And prostrate to the Lord our dust.
They that on helps like those rely,
Or shameful fall, or fearful fly;
But we, thro' Christ our hope renown'd,
Rise manful and maintain our ground.
Or shameful fall, or fearful fly;
But we, thro' Christ our hope renown'd,
Rise manful and maintain our ground.
Save, Lord, and hear us, we beseech,
Extend thy grace for all and each;
O king of sempiternal sway,
From heav'n regard us, as we pray.
Extend thy grace for all and each;
O king of sempiternal sway,
From heav'n regard us, as we pray.
