Lyrics: 1 Judge me, God of my salvation, Plead my cause, for Thee I trust: Hear my earnest supplication, Save me from my foes unjust. Chorus: O my soul, why art thou grieving? What disquiets and dismays? Hope in God, His help receiving, I shall yet my Saviour praise. 2 On Thy strength alone relying Why am I cast off by Thee, In my helpless sorrow sighing, While the foe oppresses me? [Chorus] 3 Light and truth, my way attending, Send Thou forth to be my guide, Till Thy holy mount ascending, I within Thy house abide. [Chorus] 4 At Thy sacred altar bending, God, my God, my boundless joy, Harp and voice, in worship blending, For Thy praise will I employ. [Chorus] Scripture: Psalm 43 Used With Tune: AMARA

In time of tribulation

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 44 hymnals Topics: Despondency corrected Lyrics: In time of tribulation, Hear, Lord, my feeble cries, With humble supplication To Thee my spirit flies: 188 My heart with grief is breaking, Scarce can my voice complain; Mine eyes, with tears kept waking, Still watch and weep in vain. The days of old, in vision, Bring vanish'd bliss to view; The years of lost fruition Their joys in pangs renew; Remember'd songs of gladness, Through night's lone silence brought, Strike notes of deeper sadness, And stir desponding thought. Hath God cast off for ever? Can time His truth impair? His tender mercy, never Shall I presume to share? Hath He His loving-kindness Shut up in endless wrath? No;--this is my own blindness, That cannot see His path. I call to recollection The years of His right hand, And, strong in His protection, Again through faith I stand: Thy deeds, O Lord! are wonder, Holy are all Thy ways, The secret place of thunder Shall utter forth Thy praise. Thee, with the tribes assembled, O God! the billows saw; 189 They saw Thee, and they trembled, Turn'd, and stood still with awe: The clouds shot hail--they lighten'd, The earth reel'd to and fro; The fiery pillar brighten'd The gulph of gloom below. Thy way is in great waters, Thy footsteps are not known; Let Adam's sons and daughters Confide in Thee alone: Through the wild sea Thou leddest Thy chosen flock of yore; Still on the waves Thou treadest, And Thy redeem'd pass o'er. Scripture: Psalm 77

Trust in the Mercy of God

Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: Despondency 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 Used With Tune: OLIVA
