Jehovah Hear Thee in the Day

lyricist: Scottish Psalter and Paraphrases, 1650
Composer: William Bradbury (1816–1868)

Jehovah hear thee in the day

When trou­ble He doth send:

And let the name of Ja­cob’s God

Thee from all ill de­fend.

O let Him help send from ab­ove

Out of His sanc­tu­ary:

From Si­on

His own ho­ly hill

Let Him give strength to thee.

Let Him re­mem­ber all thy gifts

Accept thy sac­ri­fice:

Grant thee thine heart’s wish

and ful­fill

Thy thoughts and coun­sel wise.

In Thy sal­va­tion we will joy;

In our God’s name we will

Display our ban­ners: and the Lord

Thy pray­ers all ful­fill.

Now know I God His king doth save:

He from His ho­ly Heav’n

Will hear him

with the sav­ing strength

By His own right hand giv’n.

In cha­ri­ots some put con­fi­dence

Some hors­es trust up­on:

But we re­mem­ber will the name

Of our Lord God alone.

We rise

and up­right stand

when they

Are bow­èd down

and fall.

Deliver

Lord; and let the King

Us hear

when we do call.
