Whom should we love like Thee
Henry Francis Lyte • English
Primary Scripture: Psalm 18
Verse 1
Whom should we love like Thee, our God, our guide, our King, the tow'r to which we flee, the rock to which we cling? O for a thousand tongues to show, O for a thousand tongues to show the mercies which to Thee we owe.
Verse 2
The storm upon us fell, the floods around us rose; the depths of death and hell seemed on our souls to close; To God we cried in strong despair, to God we cried in strong despair, He heard, and came to help our prayer.
Verse 3
He came the King of kings, He bowed the sable sky; and on the tempest's wings rode glorious down from high; The earth before her maker shook, the earth before her maker shook the mountains quaked at His rebuke.
Verse 4
Above the storm He stood, and awed it to repose; He drew us from the flood, and scattered all our foes. He set us in a spacious place, He set us in a spacious place, and there upholds us by His grace.
