Arise and Save, O Lord

Original Tune: Stand Up and Bless the Lord (Old 134th); Genevan Psalter, 1551 Edition; adapt., William Crotch 1775-1847
Psalm 3

O Lord, how many foes
Who rise and trouble me;
How greatly are they multiplied
Who do me injury.

There is no help for him,
No help in God, they say;
But you my Shield and Glory, Lord,
Thou art my certain Stay.

I called to God; He hears
From high, His holy hill
I fell asleep, I woke in peace,
For He sustained me still.

Arise and save, O Lord,
For Thou doth strike my foe.
Salvation cometh from the Lord;
His saints His blessings know.

I cried out in despair
My Savior rescued me
O praise His name, my Lord who cares
Who died and rose for me.
