How long wilt thou forget me

Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #541 (1961) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord, thou God of grace? How long shall fears beset me, While darkness hides thy face? How long shall griefs distress me And turn my day to night? How long shall foes oppress me And triumph in their might? 2 O Lord my God, behold me, And hear my earnest cries; Lest sleep of death enfold me, Enlighten thou mine eyes; Lest now my foe insulting Should boast of his success, And enemies exulting Rejoice in my distress. 3 But I with expectation Have on thy grace relied; My heart in thy salvation Shall still with joy confide; And I with voice of singing Will praise the Lord above, Who, richest bounties bringing, Hast dealt with me in love. Amen. Topics: Adversaries; Christian Life Hope; Confidence; Hope Scripture: Psalm 13 Languages: English Tune Title: ANGEL'S STORY

How long in fruitless wailing shall I consume the day? And thus how long prevailing my vaunting foe bear sway? 2 O, do not thou forsake me! Enlighten thou my gloom; lest fatal sleep o'ertake me, the death-sleep of the tomb; lest then my foe insulting should boast of his success, and impious men exulting triumph in my distress. 3 Lord, in my tribulation I trust thy mercy still, and surely thy salvation my heart with joy shall fill. Thine aid thou didst afford me, thy praises I will sing; and for his mercies toward me will bless my God and king. Scripture: Psalm 13 Languages: English Tune Title: AURELIA

Author: Gaskell Hymnal: A Book of Hymns for Public and Private Devotion (15th ed.) #185 (1866) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: How long, O Lord, his brother's blood Lyrics: How long, O Lord, his brother’s blood Shall man in battle spill? How long that mandate be withstood, Which cries, “Thou shalt not kill?” How long shall glory still be found In scenes of cruel strife, Where misery walks, a giant crowned, Crushing the flowers of life? O, hush, great God! the sounds of war, And make Thy children feel That he, with Thee, is noblest far, Who toils for human weal;— And though forgotten, he alone Can be a Christian true Who would his foes as brethren own, And still their good pursue.
