Hope in the Lord, and praise him too; He is my Rest, my sure Relief. 6 Thy Light and Truth shall guide me still, Thy Word shall my best Thoughts employ, And lead me to thine heav'nly Hill, My GOD, my most exceeding Joy.

Hear me, O GOD, nor hide thy Face

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P102a (1766) Topics: Complaint general 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 Winners 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 Despair. 3 My Spirits flag like with'ring 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; There the sad Raven finds her Place, And there 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 withered Leaves appear; And Life's declining Light Grows faint, as Ev'ning Shadows are That vanish into Night. 10 But Thou for ever art the same, O my Eternal GOD; Ages to come shall know thy Name, And spread thy Works abroad. 11 Thou wilt arise, and shew 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.
