Why Do You Stand So Far Away, O LORD?
Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Poverty Lyrics: 1 Why do you stand so far away, O LORD?
Why do you hide yourself in troubled times?
In arrogance the wicked trap the poor;
they catch the weak in schemes they have devised.
2 The wicked boast about their hearts' desires;
the covetous renounce and spurn the LORD.
In pride they see no need to seek for aid;
in all their thoughts they say, "There is no God."
3 They prosper and in pride ignore your law;
at all their foes they only puff in scorn.
Within their hearts they think, "I am secure;
throughout my life my happiness is sure."
4 Their mouths are filled with oaths and lies and threats;
beneath their tongues are evil thoughts and deeds.
They lie in ambush near the village street;
the innocent they murder and defeat.
5 The helpless one is crushed and trampled down;
another victim falls beneath their might.
At heart they think, "God has forgotten this;
he hides his face, so he will never see."
6 Arise, O LORD, lift up your hand, O God!
Do not forget the helpless and the poor.
Why do the wicked proudly scoff at God
and say, "He will not call me to account"?
7 O God, you note injustice and distress
that you may take it all into your hands.
The helpless ones commit themselves to you,
for you give help to orphans and the poor.
8 O break the wicked evildoers' arm!
Seek out the secret sin they try to hide.
The LORD is King through all eternity;
all sinful ones will perish from his land.
9 LORD, you will hear the longing of the meek;
strengthen their hearts, incline your ear to them.
You will defend the orphan and the poor
that evil ones may terrify no more.

Let them neglect thy glory, Lord
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 58 hymnals Topics: Confession of our poverty; Poverty confessed Lyrics:
Let them neglect thy glory, Lord,
Who never knew thy grace;
But our loud songs shall still record
The wonders of thy praise.
We raise our shouts, O God, to thee,
And send them to thy throne;
All glory to th' united Three,
The undivided One.
'Twas he (and we'll adore his name)
That formed us by a word;
'Tis he restores our ruined frame:
Salvation to the Lord!
Hosannah! let the earth and skies
Repeat the joyful sound
Rocks, hills, and vales, reflect the voice
In one eternal round.
Scripture: Psalm 16
Let them neglect thy glory, Lord
See Him Lying on a Bed of Straw
Author: Micahel Perry Meter: Irregular Appears in 17 hymnals Topics: Poverty; Poverty Refrain First Line: Oh, now carry me to Bethlehem Lyrics: 1 See him lying on a bed of straw:
a drafty stable with an open door;
Mary cradling the babe she bore -
the Prince of glory is his name.
Refrain:
Oh, now carry me to Bethlehem
to see the Lord of love again:
just as poor as was the stable then,
the Prince of glory when he came.
2 Star of silver, sweep across the skies,
show where Jesus in the manger lies;
shepherds, swiftly from your stupor rise
to see the Savior of the world! [Refrain]
3 Angels, sing again the song you sang,
sing the glory of God's gracious plan;
sing that Bethlehem's little baby can
be the Savior of us all. [Refrain]
4 Mine are riches, from your poverty,
from your innocence, eternity;
mine, forgiveness by your death for me,
Child of sorrow for my joy. [Refrain] Scripture: Luke 2:6-7 Used With Tune: CALYPSO CAROL
