I Am Hated, Lord

Verse 1

I am hated LORD! by those; Who Thy holy truth despise; Save me from my wicked foes, Lord of hosts arise, arise!

Verse 2

Thou’rt my rock and my defense; Thou a tow'r unto Thy saints; Thee I make my confidence; Thee I’ll trust, though nature faints.

Verse 3

Glad Thy mercies will I sing. All Thy pow'r and love confess; Thou hast been, O heav'nly King, My safe refuge in distress!

Verse 4

Songs with ev'ry morning’s light, LORD, shall rise up to Thy throne; All Thy saints shall praise Thy might, And Thy mercy shall make known!
