The Prayer of God?s Servant
(James 3:17)
1. Heav?nly Father, Sov?reign Lord,
Be your glorious name adored;
For your mercies will endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.
Ever faithful, ever sure,
Yes, your mercies will endure.
2. As our service we pursue,
Teach us, God, your will to do.
Your commands we want to keep,
Staying close to your dear sheep.
Staying close to your dear sheep,
Your commands we want to keep.
3. Give us wisdom from above,
Pure and gentle, full of love.
Help us merciful to be
As we serve impartially.
As we serve impartially,
Help us merciful to be.
4. May the joy to have a part
In your service fill our heart.
Never may our prayers cease
That your Kingdom may increase.
That your Kingdom may increase,
Never may our prayers cease.

Jehovah Is Our Refuge
(Psalm 91:1, 2)
1. Jehovah is our refuge,
Our God in whom we trust.
His shadow is our shelter;
Abide in it we must.
For he himself will rescue you
From pestilence and trappers too.
Jehovah is a stronghold,
A haven for all the just.
2. Though thousands will be falling,
Yes, at your very side,
Ten thousand at your right hand,
No harm will you betide.
You will not need to quake with fear,
As though great harm to you were near.
Your eyes will merely see it,
As ?neath God?s wings you?ll abide.
3. No plague will e?er befall you,
No dire calamity.
But God will by his angels
Provide security.
The maned young lion you?ll not dread;
Upon the cobra you will tread.
No stone will make you stumble
While you serve God faithfully.
4. Praise Jah for such assurance;
His righteousness proclaim.
While making known his virtues,
Ourselves we?ll keep from blame.
Whole-souled devotion let us show;
Then we?ll salvation by God know.
Jehovah is our refuge;
A fortress is his great name.
