How long wilt thou conceal thy Face?

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P13b (1766) Topics: Hope in darkness Lyrics: 1 How long wilt thou conceal thy Face? My GOD, how long delay? When shall I feel those heavenly Rays That chace my Fears away? 2 How long shall my poor lab'ring Soul Wrestle and toil in vain? Thy Word can all my Foes controul, And ease my raging Pain. 3 See how the Prince of Darkness tries All his malicious Arts He spreads a Mist around my Eyes, And throws his fiery Darts. 4 Be thou my Sun, and thou my Shield, My Soul in Safety keep; Make Haste before mine Eyes are seal'd In Death's eternal Sleep. 5 How would the Tempter boast aloud If I become his Prey! Behold the Sons of Hell grow proud At thy so long Delay. 6 But they shall fly at thy Rebuke, And Satan hide his Head; He knows the Terrors of thy Look, And hears thy Voice with Dread. 7 Thou wilt display that sov'reign Grace, Where all my Hopes have hung; I shall employ my Lips in Praise, And Vict'ry shall be sung.

Saviour, ere in sweet repose

Hymnal: The Sunday School Hymnal #17 (1899) Topics: Darkness Lyrics: 1 Saviour, ere in sweet repose I my weary eyelids close, Let me love with perfect love Child and man, and God above. 2 Guard me when in sleep I lie, Plead for me with God on high; All that stained my soul today, Wash it in Thy blood away. 3 If my slumbers broken be, Waking, let me think of Thee; Darkness cannot make me fear If I feel that Thou art near.

Trust in the Mercy of God

Hymnal: The Psalter #22 (1912) Topics: Spiritual Darkness First Line: How long wilt thou forget me 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. Scripture: Psalm 13 Languages: English Tune Title: OLIVA

Comfort, Comfort Ye My People

Author: Johann Olearius; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Worship in Song #55 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Topics: Darkness Lyrics: 1 Comfort, comfort ye my people, Speak ye peace, thus saith our God; Comfort those who sit in darkness Mourning 'neath their sorrows' load. Speak ye to Jerusalem Of the peace that waits for them; Tell her that her sins I cover, And her warfare now is over. 2 Hark, the voice of one that crieth In the desert far and near, Bidding all men to repentance Since the kingdom now is here. Oh, that warning cry obey! Now prepare for God a way; Let the valleys rise to meet him And the hills bow down to greet him. 3 Make ye straight what long was crooked, Make the rougher places plain; Let your hearts be true and humble, As befits his holy reign. For the glory of the Lord Now over earth is shed abroad; And all flesh shall see the token That his word is never broken. Scripture: Isaiah 40:1-5 Tune Title: GENEVA 42

Brightest and Best

Author: Reginald Heber Hymnal: Worship in Song #77 (1996) Topics: Darkness First Line: Hail the blest morn! See the Great Mediator Refrain First Line: Brightest and best of the sons of the morning Lyrics: 1 Hail the blest morn! See the Great Mediator Down from the regions of glory descend! Shepherds, go worship the babe in the manger; Lo, for a guard the bright angels attend. Refrain: Brightest and best of the sons of the morning, Dawn on our darkness and lend us thine aid; Star of the East, the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. 2 Cold on his cradle the dewdrops are shining, Low lies his head with the beasts of the stall; Angels adore him in slumber reclining, Maker and Monarch and Savior of all. [Refrain] 3 Shall we not yield him in costly devotion, Odors of Eden, and offerings divine, Gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean, Myrrh from the forest, and gold from the mine? [Refrain] 4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation, Vainly with gifts would his favor secure; Richer by far is the heart's adoration, Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor. [Refrain] Tune Title: STAR OF THE EAST

Once to Every Man and Nation

Author: James Russell Lowell Hymnal: Hymns from the Four Winds #82 (1983) Topics: Light and Darkness First Line: Once to ev'ry man and nation Lyrics: 1 Once to ev'ry man and nation Comes the moment to decide, In the strife of truth with falsehood, For the good or evil side; Some great cause, God's new Messiah, Off'ring each the bloom or blight, And the choice goes by forever Twixt that darkness and that light. 2 Then to side with truth is noble, When we share her wretched crust, Ere her cause bring fame and profit, And 'tis prosp'rous to be just; Then it is the brave one chooses While the coward stands aside, Till the multitude make virtue Of the faith they had denied. 3 By the light of burning martyrs, Christ, your bleeding feet we track, Toiling up new Calv'ries ever With the cross that turns not back; New occasions teach new duties, Time makes ancient good uncouth; They must upward still and onward, Who would keep abreast of truth. 4 Though the cause of evil prosper, Yet 'tis truth alone is strong; Though her portion be the scaffold, And upon the throne be wrong: Yet that scaffold sways the future, And, behind the dim unknown, Standeth God within the shadow Keeping watch above his own. Scripture: Romans 8:37 Languages: English Tune Title: TYZEN
