Appears in 50 hymnals Topics: God Eternal and Man mortal; Mortality and God's eternity; God Eternal and Man mortal; Mortality and God's eternity First Line: It is the Lord our Saviour's hand Lyrics: 1 It is the Lord our Saviour's hand Weakens our strength amidst the race; Disease and death at his command Arrest us, and cut short our days. 2 Spare us, O Lord, aloud we pray, Nor let our sun go down at noon; Thy years are one eternal day, And must thy children die so soon? 3 Yet in the midst of death and grief This thought our sorrow should assuage; "Our Father and our Saviour live; "Christ is the same through every age." 4 'Twas he this earth's foundation laid; Heaven is the building of his hand; This earth grows old, these heavens shall fade; And all be chang'd at his command. 5 The starry curtains of the sky, Like garments, shall be laid aside; But still thy throne stands firm on high; Thy church forever must abide. 6 Before thy face thy church shall live; And on thy throne thy children reign; This dying world shall they survive, And the dead saints be rais'd again. Scripture: Psalm 102:23-28

A prayer of the afflicted

Appears in 64 hymnals Topics: God Eternal and Man mortal; Mortality and God's eternity; God Eternal and Man mortal; Mortality and God's eternity First Line: Hear me, O God, nor hide thy face Lyrics: 1 Hear me, O God, nor hide thy face, But answer, lest I die; Hast thou not built a throne of grace, To hear when sinners cry? 2 My days are wasted like the smoke Dissolving in the air; My strength is dry'd, my heart is broke, And sinking in dispair. 3 My spirits flag like withering grass Burnt with excessive heat: In secret groans my minutes pass, And I forget to eat. 4 As on some lonely building’s top, The sparrow tells her moan, Far from the tents of joy and hope I sit and grieve alone. 5 My soul is like a wilderness Where beasts of midnight howl; Where the sad raven finds her place, And where the screaming owl. 6 Dark dismal thoughts and boding fears Dwell in my troubled breast; While sharp reproaches wound my ears, Nor give my spirit rest. 7 My cup is mingled with my woes, And tears are my repast; My daily bread, like ashes grows Unpleasant to my taste. 8 Sense can afford no real joy To souls that feel thy frown; Lord ’twas thy hand advanc'd me high Thy hand hath cast me down. 9 My looks like wither'd leaves appear; And life’s declining light Grows faint as evening-shadows are, That vanish into night. 10 But thou forever art the same, O my eternal God; Ages to come shall know thy name, And spread thy works abroad. 11 Thou wilt arise, and show thy face, Nor will my Lord delay, Beyond th’ appointed hour of grace, That long expected day. 12 He hears his saints, he knows their cry, And by mysterious ways, Redeems the prisoners, doom'd to die, And fills their tongues with praise. Scripture: Psalm 102:20-21
