Heir of the Covenant
 
This hymn is about God's protection of His people.  One of the main ways Satan attacks us is through fear.  He tries to get us to mistrust God in our situations.  Whether we are facing physical fear of a person, or fear that we won't succeed, or fear of the supernatural, or any other type of fear, never forget that God is there to protect you.  He is holding you under His wing, and nothing...NOTHING...can hurt you without it going through Him first.  He is truly in control of every aspect of your life, and He will truly work everything out for your good.  I hope this hymn gives you some joyful reassurance of God's protection.   

Call Jehovah thy salvation,

Rest beneath the Almighty's shade,
In his secret habitation
Dwell, and never be dismayed:
There no tumult shall alarm thee,
Thou shalt dread no hidden snare,
Guile nor violence can harm thee
In eternal safeguard there.

From the sword at noon-day wasting,
From the noisome pestilence,
In the depth of midnight blasting,
God shall be thy sure defence;
Fear not thou the deadly quiver,
When a thousand feel the blow,
Mercy shall thy soul deliver,
Though ten thousand be laid low.

Since, with pure and firm affection,
Thou on God hast set thy love,
With the wings of His protection
He will shield thee from above:
Thou shalt call on Him in trouble,
He will hearken, He will save,
Here for grief reward thee double,
Crown with life beyond the grave.

    Every month, I will be posting the lyrics of a hymn as the new Hymn of the Month.  I hope you will read it and try to apply it...hymns are such a blessing, let's not let them go to waste.  My dad suggested something to me.  He said whenever you're down or are facing a temptation, start to sing...so I sing hymns.  There are different types of hymns.  Some for praising God, some about the nature of God, and some about how God relates to His people.  I bet you there is a good hymn for any sort of situation you are in, so I hope the ones I put up here every month will be helpful.  Feel free to comment on any of these hymns and share any insight that you might have.
