Lord, Hear Me in Distress

Author: Anonymous Meter: 6.6.6.6 D Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Lord, hear me in distress, regard my suppliant cry, And in Thy faithfulness and righteousness reply. In judgment do not cause Thy servant to be tried; Before Thy holy laws no man is justified. 2. The enemy has sought my soul in dust to tread; To darkness I am brought, forgotten as the dead. My spirit, crushed with grief, is sad and overborne; My heart finds no relief, but desolate I mourn. 3. Recalling former days and all Thy wondrous deeds, The memory of Thy ways to hope and comfort leads. To Thee I stretch my hands, let me not plead in vain; I wait as weary lands wait for refreshing rain. 4. My failing spirit see, O Lord to me make haste; Hide not Thy face from me, less bitter death I taste. O let the morn return, let mercy light my day; For Thee in faith I yearn, O guide me in the way. 5. Lord, save me from my foe, to Thee for help I flee; Teach me Thy way to know, I have no God but Thee. By Thy good Spirit led from trouble and distress, My erring feet shall tread the path of uprightness. 6. O Lord, for Thy name’s sake revive my fainting heart; My soul from trouble take, for just and true Thou art. Remove mine enemy, my cruel foes reward; In mercy rescue me who am Thy servant, Lord.

Lift Up Your Heads, Rejoice

Author: T. T. Lynch Meter: 6.6.6.6 D Appears in 37 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lift up your heads, rejoice: redemption draweth nigh; now breathes a softer air, now shines a milder sky; the early trees put forth their new and tender leaf; hushed is the moaning wind that told of winter's grief. 2 Lift up your heads, rejoice: redemption draweth nigh; now mount the leader clouds, now flames the darkn'ing sky; the early scattered drops descend with heavy fall, and to the waiting earth the hidden thunders call. 3 Lift up your heads, rejoice: redemption draweth nigh; O note the varying signs of earth and air and sky. the God of glory comes in gentleness and might, to comfort and alarm, to succor and to smite. 4 He come, the wide world's King; he comes, the true heart's friend, new gladness to begin, and ancient wrong to end; he comes to fill with light the weary, waiting eye: lift up your heads, rejoice: redemption draweth nigh.

Author: E. Wiglesworth Meter: 6.6.6.6 D Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thou Who with dying lips Thy mother didst commend Unto the tender care Of Thy belovèd friend; Thou Who by Lazarus' grave In human grief didst groan, Turn, Lord, Thine eyes on those Left in the world alone. 2 Thou Who didst call Thy twelve Their home and friends to leave, And in Thy kingdom all, Yea, more than all, receive, To those bereft of all, Thy pitying love extend, And let them find in Thee Father, and home and friend. 3 Thou Who didst say of old, "Thine orphans led to Me; Unto the fatherless, I will a Father be," Thy promises are sure; Help us to trust Thee still; To those who need Thee sore, That faithful word fulfill. 4 Thou Who in Thy still rest Our dear ones safe dost keep; Thou Who shalt bring them back One day from their long sleep, Oh, keep us by Thy grace, That we at last may be, When that bright morning dawns, At home with them and Thee. Amen. Topics: Orphans; Almsgiving and Charities; Orphans Used With Tune: BROADLANDS

Blood-Bought

Author: D. C. Addison Meter: 6.6.6.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: I have a home at last Lyrics: 1 I have a home at last, ’Twas bought by blood divine, Safe from the stormy blast, And the blest title mine. Blood paid for every stone, For roof, and nail and door; There death is never known, But life for evermore. 2 These emblems mark the wall— The cross, the nails, the spear; Five bleeding wounds in all Show me the title clear. On Calvary ’twas paid, Each drop to Justice due; And Love divine there laid The price for me and you. 3 Blood-bought, I stand secure, Since Jesus died for me; Blood-bought, redemption sure, If I but cling to Thee. Washed in this blood divine, In glory to appear; Like Him forever shine, His welcome voice to hear.
