I Love the Lord, for My Request

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Prayer in Afflictions Lyrics: 1 I love the Lord, for my request And humble plea He makes His care; In Him through life my faith shall rest, for He both hears and answers prayer. 2 Brought nigh to death and full of grief, The Lord's salvation I besought; He heard my cry, He sent relief, My soul from depths of woe He brought. 3 Most kind and righteous is the Lord, Our God is merciful indeed, Delighting ever to afford His help to me in time of need. 4 Return unto thy rest, my soul, The Lord has richly dealt with thee, Delivered thee from death's control, From sin and sorrow set thee free. 5 Since He has freed my eyes from tears And kept my feet from evil ways, Redeemed from life's distressing fears, With Him I walk, and Him I praise. 6 In my affliction and my pain, When fears alarmed and hopes deceived, I found all human helpers vain, But in the Lord my soul believed. Scripture: Psalm 116 Used With Tune: CANONBURY

I have no nope except in Thee; Let not ungodly men reproach, From all transgression set me free. 7 Because Thou didst it I was dumb, I spoke no word of rash complaint; Remove Thy stroke away from me, Beneath Thy chastisement I faint. 8 When Thou for his iniquity Rebukest and correctest man, His beauty is consumed away, How weak his strength, how vain his plan. 9 Lord, hear my prayer, regard my cry, I weep, be Thou my comforter; I am a stranger here below, A pilgrim as my fathers were. 10 O spare me, Lord, avert Thy wrath, Deal gently with me, I implore, That I may yet recover strength Ere I go hence and be no more. Scripture: Psalm 39 Used With Tune: BERA

In judgment do not cause Thy servant to be tried; Before Thy holy laws No man is justified. 2 The enemy has sought My soul in dust to tread; To darkness I am brought, Forgotten as the dead. My spirit, crushed with grief, Is sad and overborne; My heart finds no relief, But desolate I mourn. 3 Recalling former days And all Thy wondrous deeds, The memory of Thy ways To hope and comfort leads. to Thee I stretch my hands, Let me not plead in vain; I wait as weary lands Wait for refreshing rain. 4 My failing spirit see, O Lord, to me make haste; Hide not Thy face from me, Lest bitter death I taste, O let the morn return, Let mercy light my day; For Thee in faith I yearn, O guide me in the way. 5 Lord, save me from my foe, To Thee for help I flee; Teach me Thy way to know, I have no God but Thee. By Thy good Spirit lead From trouble and distress, My erring feet shall tread The path of uprightness. 6 O Lord, for Thy Name's sake Revive my fainting heart; My soul from trouble take, For just and true Thou art. Remove my enemy, My cruel foe reward; In mercy rescue me Who am Thy servant, Lord. Scripture: Psalm 143 Used With Tune: JEWETT
