	GOD'S FATHERHOOD AND LOVE

	103



	2 O magnify the Lord with me, With me exalt His name; When in distress to Him I called, He to my rescue came. 3 The hosts of God encamp around The dwellings of the just; Deliverance He affords to all, Who on His succor trust.	4 0 make but tria. of His love; Experience will decide, How blest are they, and only they, Who in His truth confide. 5 Fear Him, ye saints, and ye will then Have nothing else to fear; Make ye His service your delight,— He'll make your wants His care. Tate and Brady, 1696 104



	2 Under the shadow of Thy throne Thy saints have dwelt secure; Sufficient is Thine arm alone, And our defence is sure. 3 Before the hills in order stood, Or earth received her frame, From everlasting Thou art God, To endless years the same. 4 A thousand ages in Thy sight Are like an evening gone;	Short as the watch that ends the night Before the rising sun. 5 Time, like an ever-rolling stream, Bears all its sons away; They fly forgotten, as a dream Dies at the opening day. 6 0 God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Be Thou our guard while life shall last, And our eternal home. Rev. Isaac Watts, 1719
