A Cry for Help

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Afflictions Prayer in First Line: Protect and save me, O my God Lyrics: 1 Protect and save me, O my God, From foes that seek my life; And set me high, secure, above The rising tide of strife. 2 The workers of iniquity Against me lie in wait; Tho' I am innocent, O Lord, They gather in their hate. 3 Behold their wickedness, O Lord; To help me, O awake, Lord God of Hosts, Thou, Israel's God, Arise, and vengeance take. 4 My enemies with deadly rage Renew their fierce attack; They think the Lord will not regard, But Thou wilt turn them back. 5 O God, my strength, on Thee I wait; To Thee for refuge flee. My God with mercy will defend Triumphant I shall be. 6 O God our shield, let wickedness And pride be put to shame. Till all shall know that Thou dost rule, And all shall fear Thy Name. 7 Let wickedness that raged in power Now rage in impotence; But I will glory in Thy strength My refuge and defense. 8 When all the night of woe is past And morning dawns at length, Then I will praise Thy grace, O God, My refuge and my strength. 9 To Thee, O god most merciful, My thankful song I raise; My might, my strong, secure abode, I will proclaim Thy praise. Scripture: Psalm 59 Used With Tune: EAGLEY

The Cry of the Mortal

Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: Afflictions Prayer in First Line: Lord, thro' all the generations Lyrics: 1 Lord, thro' all the generations Of the children of our race, In our fears and tribulations, Thou hast been our dwelling-place. Ere the vast and wide creation By Thy word was cased to be, Or the mountains held their station, Thou art God eternally. 2 Each succeeding generation At Thy mighty word appears; Thou dost count in time's duration One day as a thousand years. Death, with swift and sudden warning, Calls us from life's dream away, Like the grass, green in the morning, Withered ere the close of day. 3 In Thy wrath our spirits languish, Sinful 'neath Thy searching eye; All our days are passed in anguish, In Thy wrath we pine and id. Threescore years and ten we tarry, Fourscore years the strong may stay, Long the load of grief to carry, Till at last we fly away. 4 Who can weigh Thy just displeasure, Who can fear Thee as he ought? Teach us now our days to measure And to wisdom turn our thought. Lord, return, regard our sadness; with Thy servants now abide; Fill our days with joy and gladness, With Thy mercy satisfied. 5 Long the clouds of evil lower; Bless us now with gladsome days; Let Thy servants see Thy power, Let their children learn Thy praise. On us let the grace and beauty Of the Lord our God remain, Strengthen us for noble duty That our work be not in vain. Scripture: Psalm 90 Used With Tune: ARMSTRONG
