Fits tune: King's Weston
(One tune to 'At the name of Jesus')
Based on Psalm 108 part
********
O God, my heart is fixed
My motives unmixed
I will sing and give praise
My tongue will you raise
Awake, harp, psaltery
I wake early, see
I will praise you, O Lord
Hearken to your word
I will praise you anew
Among people true
And praises to you sing
Nation's voices ring
For your mercies are great
They do ne'er abate
And your truth it reaches
Above cloud's vaultings
O God, be exalted
By you we are fed
And let your glory be
Above all earth, see
That your here beloved
May be delivered
Save now with your right hand
Protect us, your land
God here He has spoken
Shown us His token
He remains still holy
Rejoicing shall be
He Lord o'er all peoples
He enemy stills
Though seems we are off cast
Your purposes [they] last
We shall still you e'er seek
Humbly now, and meek
Give us help from trouble
Vain man's help, we fall
But through you God, we shall
Do valiant, tell
Of your saving power
O'er enemies bower*
* bower = dwelling

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 6.5.6.5.6.5.6.5. - or can be called 6.5.6.5.D. (D is for doubled). More than one tune to this. I'm thinking of the tune with the 7-note introduction to each verse.
