Text · Psalm 56
Heroic Faith
O God, be merciful to me
from The Psalter, 1912 · 8.6.8.6
1.O God, be merciful to me,
For men no mercy show;
With constant warfare pressing me
They seek my overthrow.
2.When foes invade, I safely rest,
Confiding in thy word;
I will not dread what man can do,
My trust is in the Lord.
3.I take Thy vows upon me now,
O God, Who savest me;
the sacrifice of praise I bring
In gratitude to Thee.
4.My feet from falling and my soul
From death Thy hast restored,
And ever in the light of life
I walk before the Lord.
