When Afflictions Sore Oppress You

Author: J. G. Olearius, 1611-84; F. E. Cox, 1812-97 Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When afflictions sore oppress you, Low with grief and anguish bowed, Then to earnest prayer address you; Prayer will help you, through the cloud, Still to see your Savior near, Under ev'ry cross you bear; By the light His Word doth lend you, Prayer will joy and comfort send you. 2 None shall ever be confounded, Who in God will freely trust; Though they be by woes surrounded, God's a Rock to all the just. Though you deem He hears you not, Still your wants are ne'er forgot; Cry to Him when storms assail you, Let your courage never fail you. 3 Call on God, knock, seek, implore Him, 'Tis the Christian's noblest skill; He who comes with faith before Him Meets with help and favor still: Who on God most firmly rest Are the wisest and the best; God will with such strength inbue them, Ne'er shall any foe subdue them. 4 Learn to mark God's wondrous dealing With the people that He loves; When His chast'ning hand they're feeling, Then their faith the strongest proves. God is nigh, and notes their tears, Though He answers not, He hears; Pray with faith, for though He try you, No good thing can God deny you. 5 Ponder all God's truth can teach you, Let His word your footsteps guide; Satan's wiles shall never reach you, Though he draw the world aside. Lo! God's truth is thy defense, Light, and hope, and confidence: Trust in God, He'll not deceive you, Pray, and all your foes will leave you.

Author: Anna B. Hoppe Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O’er Jerusalem Thou weepest In compassion, dearest Lord, Love divine, of love the deepest, O’er Thine erring Israel poured, Crieth out in bitter moan: O loved city, hadst thou known This thy day of visitation, Thou wouldst not reject salvation. 2. By the love Thy tears are telling, O Thou Lamb for sinners slain, Make my heart Thy temple dwelling, Purged from every guilty stain. Oh, forgive, forgive my sin! Cleanse me, cleanse me, Lord, within! I am Thine since Thou hast sought me, Since Thy precious blood hath bought me. 3. O Thou Lord of my salvation, Grant my soul Thy blood-bought peace. By Thy tears of lamentation Bid my faith and love increase. Grant me grace to love Thy Word, Grace to keep the message heard, Grace to own Thee as my treasure, Grace to love Thee without measure.

Thy mercy, Lord, extend to me

Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Thy Mercy, Lord, extend to me, As thou wert ever kind; Let me, oppress'd with Loads of guilt, Thy wonted Mercy find: Wash off my foul Offence, And cleanse me from my Sin; For I confess my Crime, and see How very great my Guilt hath been. 2 Against thee, O my GOD, alone, And only in thy Sight, Have I transgress'd, and tho' condemn'd, Must own thy Judgment right: In Guilt each Part was form'd, Of all this sinful Frame; In Sin I was conceiv'd and born, The hapless Heir of Guilt and Shame. 3 Yet thou, whose ever searching Eye, Does inward Truth require, In secret did'st with Wisdom's Laws My tender Soul inspire. With Hyssop purge me, LORD, And so I clean shall be; I shall with Snow in Whiteness vie, When wahs'd and purify'd by thee. 4 Make me, O LORD, to hear with Joy, Thy kind forgiving Voice; That so the Bones which thou hast broke, May with fresh Strength rejoice. Blot out my crying Sins, Nor me in Anger view; Create in me a Heart that's clean, A just and upright Mind renew. Part II 5 Withdraw not thou thy Help, O LORD! Nor cast me from thy Sight; Nor let thy Holy Spirit take Its everlasting Flight. The Joy thy Favour gives, Let me again obtain; And thy free Spirit's firm Support, My feeble fainting Soul sustain. 6 So I thy just and righteous Ways To Sinners will impart; Whilst my Advice shall wicked Men, To thy just Laws convert. My Guilt of Blood remove, My Saviour and my GOD; And my glad Tongue shall loudly tell, Thy Truth and righteous Acts abroad. 7 Do thou, O LORD, unlock my Lips, With Sorrow clos'd, and Shame; So shall my Mouth thy wond'rous Praise, To all the World proclaim. Could Sacrifice atone, Whole Flocks and Herds should die; But on such Off'rings, LORD, thou do'st Disdain to cast a gracious Eye. 8 A humble Spirit is alone, By GOD most highly priz'd; By him a contrite broken Heart, Shall never be despis'd. Let Sion ever be Of thy good Will assur'd; Let thy own City flourish long, By strong and lofty Walls secur'd. 9 'Tis there the Righteous shall attend, And pleasing Tribute pay; And Sacrifice of choicest Kind, Upon thy Altar lay.

To my just Plea and sad Complaint

Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 To my just Plea and sad Complaint, Attend, O righteous LORD! And to my Pray'r, which is unfeign'd, A gracious Ear afford. As thou my Ways hast seen, And I have upright been, So let my righteous Sentence be; For I resign my Cause to thee. 2 Thou, LORD, hast search'd my Heart by Day, And visited by Night; And on the strictest Trial found Its secret Motions right; Nor shalt thou only find My Heart to Good inclin'd, For I have purpos'd that my Tongue Shall be restrain'd and speak no Wrong. 3 I know what wicked Men would do, Their Safety to maintain; But me thy just and mild Commands, From bloody Paths restrain. That from thy righteous Way My Soul may never stray; Do thou my Innocence secure, And make my Footsteps ever sure. 4 Since heretofore I ne'er in vain To Thee my Pray'r address'd, O now, my GOD, incline thine Ear To this my just Request. The Wonders of thy Love Let me, thy Servant prove, Thou whose Right-hand doth oft engage, To quell the bold Oppressor's Rage. 5 Oh! keep me in thy tend'rest Care! Thy shelt'ring Wing stretch out, To guard me safe from savage Foes, That compass me about. Their wicked Tongues blaspheme, O LORD! thy holy Name, Enclos'd in their own Fat they lie, And GOD, and Man, at once defy. 61 Well may they boast, for they have now Encompass'd me around, Their Eyes at watch, their Bodies bow'd And couching on the Ground: In Treach'ry they engage, Or, like the Lion rage, When greedy searching for his Prey, He lurks within a Covert Way. 7 Arise, O LORD! defeat their Plots, Their swelling Rage controul: From wicked Men, who are thy Sword, Deliver thou my Soul: From Men who still employ Their Thoughts in worldly Joy; Who find their Portion's here below, And seek no higher Bliss to know. 8 Their Race is num'rous, that partake Their Substance while they live; Their Heirs survive, to whom they may The vast Remainder give. But in thy heav'nly Grace, I'll seek thy glorious Face, And when I 'wake, with Joy shall find, Thy Image dwelling in my Mind. reflected in my Soul.
