Hymn/Song Information

My heart rejoices in thy name My God my




My heart rejoices in thy name,
My God, my help, my trust;
Thou hast preserved
my face from shame,
Mine honor from the dust.


"My life is spent with grief," I cried,
"My years consumed in groans,
My strength decays,
mine eyes are dried,
And sorrow wastes my bones."


Among mine enemies my name
Was a mere proverb grown,
While to my neighbors I became
Forgotten and unknown.


Slander and fear on every side
Seized and beset me round
I to the throne of grace applied,
And speedy rescue found.


How great deliverance
thou hast wrought
Before the sons of men!
The lying lips to silence brought,
And made their boastings vain!


Thy children from
the strife of tongues
Shall thy pavilion hide;
Guard them from infamy and wrongs,
And crush the sons of pride.


Within thy secret presence, Lord,
Let me for ever dwell;
No fenced city, walled and barred,
Secures a saint so well.
