Jehovah, to My Prayer Give Ear
Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns to the Living God #55 (2023) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Jehovah, to my prayer give ear,
nor hide Thee from my cry;
attend my sad complaint, and hear
my restless moan and sigh.
2 My enemies lift up their voice,
the violent oppress;
to do me wrong my foes rejoice,
and love my soul’s distress.
3 Sore pained in heart I find no ease,
death’s terrors fill my soul,
great fear and trembling on me seize,
and horrors o’er me roll.
4 O had I wings, I sigh and say,
like some swift dove to roam,
then I would hasten far away
and find a peaceful home.
5 Lo, wand'ring far, my rest should be
in some lone desert waste;
I from the stormy wind would flee,
and to a shelter haste.
6 O Lord, their malice recompense,
their wicked tongues confound,
for in the city violence
and bitter strife abound.
7 They walk her walls both night and day,
within all vices meet;
oppression, fraud, and crime hold sway,
nor leave the crowded street.
8 No foreign foe provokes alarm,
but enemies within;
may God destroy their power to harm
and recompense their sin.
9 On God alone my soul relies,
and He will soon relieve;
the LORD will hear my plaintive cries
at morning, noon, and eve.
10 He has redeemed my soul in peace,
from conflict set me free;
my many foes are made to cease,
and strive no more with me.
11 The living God in righteousness
will recompense with shame
the men who, hardened by success,
forget to fear His Name
12 All treach'rous friends who overreach
and break their plighted troth,
who hide their hate with honeyed speech,
with such the Lord is wroth.
13 Upon the Lord thy burden cast,
to Him bring all thy care;
He will sustain and hold thee fast,
and give thee strength to bear.
14 God will not let His saints be moved;
protected, they shall see
their foes cut off and sin reproved;
O God, I trust in Thee. Topics: Supplication Scripture: Psalm 55 Languages: English Tune Title: BURFORD

Jehovah, to My Prayer Give Ear
Anonymous
Author of "Jehovah, to My Prayer Give Ear" in The Cyber Hymnal In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.

John Bacchus Dykes
1823 - 1876 Person Name: John B. Dykes Composer of "VOX DILECTI" in Psalter Hymnal (Blue) As a young child John Bacchus Dykes (b. Kingston-upon-Hull' England, 1823; d. Ticehurst, Sussex, England, 1876) took violin and piano lessons. At the age of ten he became the organist of St. John's in Hull, where his grandfather was vicar. After receiving a classics degree from St. Catherine College, Cambridge, England, he was ordained in the Church of England in 1847. In 1849 he became the precentor and choir director at Durham Cathedral, where he introduced reforms in the choir by insisting on consistent attendance, increasing rehearsals, and initiating music festivals. He served the parish of St. Oswald in Durham from 1862 until the year of his death. To the chagrin of his bishop, Dykes favored the high church practices associated with the Oxford Movement (choir robes, incense, and the like). A number of his three hundred hymn tunes are still respected as durable examples of Victorian hymnody. Most of his tunes were first published in Chope's Congregational Hymn and Tune Book (1857) and in early editions of the famous British hymnal, Hymns Ancient and Modern.
