No longer, Lord despise me

Author: Edward A. Collier Hymnal: TH1961 #511 (1961) Meter: 7.7.6 D Scripture: Psalm 6 Lyrics: 1 No longer, Lord despise me, Nor in thy wrath chastise me, Thy mercy I implore. How long thine anger cherish? Consumed thereby I perish; My soul is troubled sore. 2 To me, O Lord, returning, Save thou, with pity yearning. Shall death thy mem'ry keep? Or shall the grave confess thee? Or I give thanks and bless thee, While day and night I weep? 3 The Lord will ever hear me, And when I pray be near me, To put my foes to shame; Turned back, no more to grieve me, They suddenly shall leave me. All glory to his Name! Amen. Topics: Christian Life Tribulation and Suffering; God Deliverer; God Pity of; God Wrath of; Prayer Answered Languages: English Tune Title: PLEADING

Lord, I lift my soul to thee

Hymnal: TH1961 #583 (1961) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Scripture: Psalm 25:1-7 Lyrics: 1 Lord, I lift my soul to thee, O my God, I trust thy might; Let not foes exult o'er me, Shame me not before their sight. 2 Yea, may none be put to shame, None who wait for thee to bless; But dishonored be their name Who without a cause transgress. 3 Lord, to me thy ways make known, Guide in truth and teach thou me; Thou my Saviour art alone, All the day I wait for thee. 6 Lord, remember in thy love All thy mercies manifold, Tender mercies from above, Changeless from the days of old. 7 Sins of youth remember not, Nor my trespasses record; Let not mercy be forgot, For thy goodness' sake, O Lord. 8 Grace and truth shall mark the way Where the Lord his own will lead, If his Word they still obey And his testimonies heed.

It came upon the midnight clear

Author: Edmund H. Sears Hymnal: TH1961 #157 (1961) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Scripture: Psalm 25:7 Lyrics: 1 It came upon the midnight clear, That glorious song of old, From angels bending near the earth To touch their harps of gold; "Peace on the earth, good will to men, From heaven's all-gracious King:" The world in solemn stillness lay, To hear the angels sing. 2 Still through the cloven skies they come, With peaceful wings unfurled, And still their heav'nly music floats O'er all the weary world: Above its sad and lowly plains They bend on hov'ring wing, And ever o'er its Babel-sounds The blessed angels sing. 3 And ye, beneath life's crushing load, Whose forms are bending low, Who toil along the climbing way With painful steps and slow, Look now! for glad and golden hours Come swiftly on the wing: O rest beside the weary road, And hear the angels sing. 4 For lo, the days are hast'ning on, By prophet bards foretold, When with the ever-circling years Comes round the age of gold; When peace shall over all the earth Its ancient splendors fling, And the whole world give back the song Which now the angels sing.

Shall dust repeat thy praises, Shall it thy truth declare? O Lord, on me have mercy, And my petition hear; That thou mayst be my helper, In mercy, Lord, appear. 5 My grief is turned to gladness, To thee my thanks I raise, Who hast removed my sorrow And girded me with praise; And now, no longer silent, My heart thy praise will sing; O Lord, my God, for ever My thanks to thee I bring.

In thee, O Lord, I hide me, Thou savest me from ill, And songs of thy salvation My heart with rapture thrill. 4 I graciously will teach thee The way that thou shalt go, And with Mine eye upon thee My counsel make thee know. But be ye not unruly, Or slow to understand, Be not perverse, but willing To heed My wise command. 5 The sorrows of the wicked In number shall abound, But those that trust Jehovah, His mercy shall surround.

In justice and in judgment right The Lord doth ever take delight; With goodness earth is fraught. 3 Jehovah's word the heav'ns hath made, And all the host of them arrayed His breath has caused to be. He rolls the waters heap on heap; He stores away the mighty deep In garners of the sea. 4 Let all the earth Jehovah fear, Let all that dwell both far and near In awe before him stand; For, lo, he spake and it was done, And all, his sovereign pow'r begun, Stood fast at his command. 5 He makes the nations' counsels vain, The plans the peoples would maintain Are thwarted by his hand. Jehovah's counsel stands secure, His purposes of heart endure, For evermore they stand. 6 O truly is the nation blessed Whose God, before the world confessed, Jehovah is alone; And blessed the people is whom he Has made his heritage to be, And chosen for his own.
