Thus far the Lord has led me on

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 660 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 34:11-22 Lyrics: Thus far the Lord has led me on, Thus far his power prolongs my days; And every evening shall make known Some fresh memorial of his grace. Much of my time has run to waste, And I perhaps am near my home; But he forgives my follies past, He gives me strength for days to come. I lay my body down to sleep, Peace is the pillow for my head; While well-appointed angels keep Their watchful stations round my bed. In vain the sons of earth or hell Tell me a thousand frightful things My God in safety makes me dwell Beneath the shadow of his wings. [Faith in his name forbids my fear; O may thy presence ne'er depart! And in the morning make me hear The love and kindness of thy heart. Thus when the night of death shall come, My flesh shall rest beneath the ground, And wait thy voice to rouse my tomb, With sweet salvation in the sound.] Topics: Fears and doubts suppressed; Prayer heard; God his care of saints; Sins of tongue; Afflictions removed by prayer; Angels guardian; Care of God over his saints; Children instructed; Deliverance by prayer; Deliverance from deep distress; Education religious; Exhortations to peace and holiness; Instruction in piety; Peace and holiness encouraged; Piety instructions therein; Praise for eminent deliverances; Prayer and praise for deliverance; Religious Education; Saints God's care of them; Secret devotion; Tongue governed
