A Recital of Gracious Experience

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: The Righteous Blessedness of First Line: I waited for the Lord my God Lyrics: 1 I waited for the Lord my God, Yea, patiently drew near, And He at length inclined to me, My pleading cry to hear. 2 He took me from destruction's pit, From out the miry clay; He wt my feet upon a rock, and steadfast made my way. 3 A new and joyful song of praise Mu thankful heart He taught, A song of glory to our God For all that He has wrought. 4 And many who behold how good The Lord has been to me Shall learn to fear, and in His Name Their trust henceforth shall be. 5 O truly blessed is the man That on the Lord relies, Respecting not the proud, nor such As turn aside to lies. 6 O Lord, my God, how manifold The works which Thou hast wrought, Ofttimes Thou hast bestowed on us Thy care and gracious thought. 7 Thy works and thoughts most wonderful, If I of them would speak, Cannot be numbered, and in vain To set them forth I seek. Scripture: Psalm 40 Used With Tune: ELIZABETHTOWN

Questionings and Comfort

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: The Righteous Forsaken by God First Line: To God will I direct my prayer Lyrics: 1 To God will I direct my prayer, And He will make my needs His care; I trust Him still, though in my grief No answer yet has brought relief; With hands stretched out through all the night, Uncomforted I sought for light. 2 The thought of God brought me no peace, But rather made my fears increase; With sleepless eyes and speechless pain My fainting spirit grieved in vain; The blessedness of long ago Made deeper still my present woe. 3 Recalling days when faith was bright, When songs of gladness filled my night, I pondered o'er my grievous woes And searching questioning arose: Will God cast off, and nevermore His favor to my soul restore? 4 I asked in fear and bitterness, Will God forsake me in distress? Shall I His promise faithless find? Has God forgotten to be kind? Has He in anger hopelessly Removed His love and grace from me? 5 These doubts and fears that troubled me Were born of my infirmity; Tho' I am weak, God is most high, And on His goodness I rely; Of all His wonders I will tell, And on His deeds my tho'ts shall dwell. Scripture: Psalm 77 Used With Tune: FILLMORE

Complaint Against the Wicked

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: The Righteous Forsaken by God First Line: Why standest Thou afar, O Lord Lyrics: 1 Why standest Thou afar, O Lord, Why art Thou hid in trouble's hour? The wicked persecute the poor In haughty pride and reckless pow'r. 2 Let their devices work their fall, For in their shame is all their pride; And while they seek unrighteous gain The Lord of justice is defied. 3 The wicked thinks, in foolish pride, There is no God Who will repay; He has no fear of God or man Because God's judgments long delay. 4 Unmoved by fear of coming doom, On fraud and wickedness intent, With craft he lurks and waits to catch The helpless and the innocent. 5 A lion crouching for his prey, He waits the poor to overthrow; He thinks that God remembers not, Or hides His face and will not know. 6 Arise, O Lord, lift up Thy hand, O God, protect the poor and meek; Why should the proud Thy justice doubt, And words of bold defiance speak? 7 O Lord, Thou wilt indeed requite, The sin and sorrow Thou dost see; The helpless and the fatherless Commit themselves, O Lord, to Thee. 8 Break Thou the pow'r of wicked men And let their works no longer stand; The Lord is King for evermore, Who drove the nations from His land. 9 Lord, Thou hast heard the lowly prayer, The fainting heart Thou wilt restore, The helpless cause Thou wilt maintain, That mortal man may boast no more. Scripture: Psalm 10 Used With Tune: BRIGGS

No froward man or evil Shall my companion be; I will not suffer slander Or pride or treachery. 3 The faithful and the upright Shall minister to me; Thy lying and deceitful My favor shall not see. I will in daily judgment All wickedness reward, And cleanse from evil-doers The city of the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 101 Used With Tune: SOJOURNER
