Psalm 144:10: Jesus, the man's defender be
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Jesus, the man's defender be
For whom I humbly pray.
Cover the head so dear to me
In battle's dangerous day;
When thousands fall on either hand,
Deliver from the sword,
And strengthen him by faith to stand
The soldier of the Lord.
978. Blessed are the people who have the Lord, c. — cxliv. 15. f
Jesus, Thou art my Lord, my God,
And happy in Thy love I am:
The bliss Thou hast on me bestow'd
Remains in life and death the same;
The love to all Thy people given
Is present, and eternal heaven.
