A Prayer of Lament in Solidarity with Sufferers
How Long?
Author: Anon. Appears in 68 hymnals First Line: How long, O Lord our Saviour Lyrics: 1 How long, O Lord our Saviour,
Wilt thou remain away?
Our hearts are growing weary
Of thy so long delay.
O when shall come the moment,
When, brighter far than morn,
The sunshine of thy glory
Shall on thy people dawn?
2 How long, O gracious Master,
Wilt thou thy household leave?
So long hast thou now tarried,
Few thy return believe.
Immersed in sloth and folly,
Thy servants, Lord, we see;
And few of us stand ready
With joy to welcome thee.
3 O, wake thy slumb'ring people;
Send forth the solemn cry;
Let all the saints repeat it,
"The Saviour draweth nigh!"
May all our lamps be burning,
Our loins well girded be,
Each longing heart preparing
With joy thy face to see.

How Long, O Lord Most Holy and True
Author: John A. Widtsoe, 1872–1952 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1. How long, O Lord most holy and true,
Shall shadowed hope our joy delay?
Our hearts confess, our souls believe
Thy truth, thy truth, thy light, thy will, thy way!
2. Thy truth has made our prison bright;
Thy light has dimmed the dying past.
We bend beneath thy loving will
And seek thy onward, onward path at last.
3. Eternal Father, gentle Judge!
Speed on the day, redemption’s hour.
Set up thy kingdom; from thy house
Unlock for us, for us the prison tow’r.
4. From grim confusion’s awful depth
The wail of hosts, faith’s urgent plea:
Release our anguished, weary souls;
Swing wide, swing wide the gates, and set us free! Topics: Genealogy and Temple Work; Prayer and Supplication Scripture: Isaiah 61:1-2 Used With Tune: JACOB

And still despair of thy return?

How Long Wilt Thou Forget Me
Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 10 hymnals 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,
has dealt with me in love.

How long wilt thou forget me?
Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 How long wilt thou forget me?
O Lord, for evermore?
For ever wilt thou let me
thine absent face deplore?
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 Used With Tune: AURELIA
