O God my God, wherefore dost thou

Author: T. S. Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 22 Lyrics: 1 O God, my God, wherefore dost thou forsake me utterly? And helpest not, when I do make my great complaint and cry? 2 To thee, my God, e'en all day long, I do both cry and call; I cease not all the night, and yet thou hearest not at ail. 3 But thou that in thy holy place for evermore dost dwell, Thou art the joy, the comfort, and glory of Israel; 4 And him in whom our fathers old had all their hope and stay, Who, when they put their trust in thee, deliver'dst them alway. 5 They were preserved ever when they called on thy name; And for the faith they had in thee, they were not put to shame. 6 But I am now become more like a worm than to a man, An outcast, whom the people scorn with all the spite they can. 7 All men despise as they behold me walking on the way, They grin, make mouths, and nod their heads, and on this wise do say, 8 This man did glory in the Lord, his favour and his love: Let him redeem and help him now, his power if he will prove. 9 But from the prison of the womb I was by thee releast, Thou didst preserve me still in hope, whilst I did suck the breast. 10 I was committed from my birth with thee to have abode; Since I came from my mother's womb, thou hast been still my God. The Second Part. 11 Then, Lord, depart not now from me, in this my present grief, Since I have none to be my help, my succour and relief. 12 For many bulls do compass me that be full strong of head; Yea, bulls so fat, as tho' they had in Basan field been fed. 13 They gape upon me greedily, as tho' they would me slay, Ev'n like a lion roaring out and ramping for his prey. 14 But I drop down like water shed, my joints in sunder break, My heart doth in my body melt like wax, I am so weak: 15 My strength doth like a potsherd dry, my tongue it cleaveth fast Unto my jaws, and I am brought to dust of death at last. 16 For many dogs do compass me, in council they do meet, Conspiring still against my life, piercing my hands and feet. 17 I was tormented so, that I might all my bones have told, Whilst they do look and stare at me, when they do me behold. 18 My garments they divided have in parts among them all, And for my coat they did cast lots to whom it should befall. 19 Therefore, I pray thee, be not far from me at my great need; But rather, since thou art my strength, to help me, Lord, make speed: 20 And from the sword save thou my soul by thy might and thy pow'r, And ever keep my darling dear from dogs that would devour; 21 And from the lion's mouth that would me all in sunder tear, From 'midst the horns of unicorns, O Lord, thou didst me hear 22 Then shall I to my brethren all thy majesty record, And in thy church shall praise the Name of thee the living Lord. The Third Part. 23 All ye that fear him, praise the Lord, thou, Jacob, him adore, And all ye seed of Israel, fear him for evermore. 24 For he despiseth not the poor, he hideth not away His countenance when they do call, but hears them when they pray, 25 Among the folk that fear the Lord I will therefore proclaim Thy praise, and keep my promise made for setting forth thy name. 26 The poor shall eat and be suffic'd; such as their minds do give To seek the Lord, and praise his Name, their hearts shall ever live. 27 The coasts of all the earth shall praise the Lord and seek his grace, The heathen folk shall worship all before his blessed face. 28 The kingdoms of the heathen folk the Lord shall have therefore; And he shall be their Governor and King for evermore. 29 The rich men of his goodly gifts shall taste and feed also, And in his presence worship him, and bow their knees full low. 30 And all that shall go down to dust of life by him shall taste; A seed shall serve and worship him, till time away shall waste: 31 They shall declare and plainly shew his truth and righteousness Unto a people yet unborn, who shall his name confess.

O God, We Rage at Hurtful Things

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 22 Lyrics: O God, we rage at hurtful things Beyond our own control, Like all the pain that illness brings To body, mind and soul. There’s much we cannot understand; O Lord, we ask you, “Why?” And yet in Christ you know firsthand The tears your people cry. O Christ, your loving, saving touch Heals children, women, men. We pray for ones we love so much; Lord, make them whole again. Now work through those your Spirit sends To heal, restore and care. May doctors, nurses, neighbors, friends Be answers to our prayer. And when the journey seems too rough And you seem far away, Remind us, Lord: You are enough To bring us through each day. Topics: Wholeness and Healing, Service of Used With Tune: ST.ANNE
