SS&S 723: How dear to my heart, when the pathway is lonely
1. How dear to my heart, when the pathway is lonely,
That wonderful promise of Jesus my Lord----
That message of mercy, of love and compassion,
I read on the page of His own blessed Word.
"Fear not I I am with thee," thy strength
and Redeemer,
The Rock where in safety My own shall abide;
I'll never forsake thee-----My Word hath declared it;
I'll never forsake thee, whatever betide.
2. When chilled by the waves that are
surging around me,
And clouds of affliction like billows may roll,
I'll cling to His word, which can
never be broken,
And joy in the comfrot it brings to my soul.
3. Though tried in the furnace, my faith
shall not falter, [I will bear;
But, trusting in Jesus, the cross
And hoping, enduring, believing, obeying,
I'll cling to His promise, and rest in His care.

(SS&S) Sacred Songs and Solos Hymns
Psalm 33
1 Sing joyfully to the Lord, you righteous;
it is fitting for the upright to praise him.
2 Praise the Lord with the harp;
make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre.
3 Sing to him a new song;
play skillfully, and shout for joy.
4 For the word of the Lord is right and true;
he is faithful in all he does.
5 The Lord loves righteousness and justice;
the earth is full of his unfailing love.
6 By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,
their starry host by the breath of his mouth.
7 He gathers the waters of the sea into jars;
he puts the deep into storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear the Lord;
let all the people of the world revere him.
9 For he spoke, and it came to be;
he commanded, and it stood firm.
10 The Lord foils the plans of the nations;
he thwarts the purposes of the peoples.
11 But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever,
the purposes of his heart through all generations.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
the people he chose for his inheritance.
13 From heaven the Lord looks down
and sees all mankind;
14 from his dwelling place he watches
all who live on earth—
15 he who forms the hearts of all,
who considers everything they do.
16 No king is saved by the size of his army;
no warrior escapes by his great strength.
17 A horse is a vain hope for deliverance;
despite all its great strength it cannot save.
18 But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him,
on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,
19 to deliver them from death
and keep them alive in famine.
20 We wait in hope for the Lord;
he is our help and our shield.
21 In him our hearts rejoice,
for we trust in his holy name.
22 May your unfailing love be with us, Lord,
even as we put our hope in you.
