Psalm 130

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.298 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Patience in darkness First Line: Out of the deeps of long distress Lyrics: Out of the deeps of long distress, The borders of despair, I sent my cries to seek thy grace, My groans to move thine ear. Great God, should thy severer eye, And thine impartial hand, Mark and revenge iniquity, No mortal flesh could stand. But there are pardons with my God For crimes of high degree; Thy Son has bought them with his blood, To draw us near to thee. [I wait for thy salvation, Lord, With strong desires I wait; My soul, invited by thy word, Stands watching at thy gate.] [Just as the guards that keep the night Long for the morning skies, Watch the first beams of breaking light, And meet them with their eyes; So waits my soul to see thy grace, And, more intent than they, Meets the first openings of thy face, And finds a brighter day.] [Then in the Lord let Isr'el trust, Let Isr'el seek his face; The Lord is good as well as just, And plenteous is his grace. There's full redemption at his throne For sinners long enslaved; The great Redeemer is his Son, And Isr'el shall be saved.] Scripture: Psalm 130 Languages: English

Psalm 130

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.299 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Patience in darkness First Line: From deep distress and troubled thoughts Lyrics: From deep distress and troubled thoughts To thee, my God, I raised my cries; If thou severely mark our faults, No flesh can stand before thine eyes. But thou hast built thy throne of grace Free to dispense thy pardons there, That sinners may approach thy face, And hope and love, as well as fear. As the benighted pilgrims wait, And long, and wish for breaking day, So waits my soul before thy gate; When will my God his face display? My trust is fixed upon thy word, Nor shall I trust thy word in vain; Let mourning souls address the Lord, And find relief from all their pain. Great is his love, and large his grace, Through the redemption of his Son; He turns our feet from sinful ways, And pardons what our hands have done. Scripture: Psalm 130 Languages: English

Lyrics: Is there ambition in my heart?. Search, gracious God, and see; Or do I act a haughty part? Lord, I appeal to thee. I charge my thoughts, be humble still, And all my carriage mild, Content, my Father, with thy will, And quiet as a child. The patient soul, the lowly mind, Shall have a large reward: Let saints in sorrow lie resigned, And trust a faithful Lord. Scripture: Psalm 131 Languages: English

Hope set before us

Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCXXX (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Hope in darkness set before us First Line: And be it so, that 'till this hour Lyrics: 1 And be it so, that 'till this hour, We never knew what faith has meant, And, slaves to sin and satan's power, Have never felt these hearts relent. 2 What shall we do? shall we lie down, Sink in despair, and groan and die; And, sunk beneath the almighty's frown, Not glance one cheerful hope on high? 3 Forbid it, Savior! to thy grace As sinners, strangers, we wil come; Among thy saints we ask a place, For in thy mercy there is room. 4 Lord, we believe; O chase away The gloomy clouds of unbelief: Lord, we repent! O let thy ray Dissolve our hearts in sacred grief! 5 Now spread the banner of thy love, And let us know that we are thine, Cheer us with blessings from above,— With all the joys of hope divine.

Prayer for relief uner a body of sin and death

Hymnal: The Hartford Selection of Hymns from the Most Approved Authors #CCLXXX (1799) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Prayer For relief from sin and darkness First Line: Lord, what a croud of anxious cares Lyrics: 1 Lord what a croud of anxious cares, Disturb this restless breast! The world's reproach and Satan's snares, Leave not a moment's rest. 2 The glorious smiles which once I saw O'er all thy face, are hid; I feel the sentence of thy law, And all my comfort's fled. 3 Hast thou not said, that where thy art, There thine shall surely be? O seal this promise on my heart, And say 'twas made for me. 4 Then cares may vex, the world may frown, They ne'er my peace shall move; For what can weigh that spirit down, That feels a Saviour's love? 5 O for a taste, by saving faith, Of his forgiving grace; When nature draws its parting breath, And all its cares shall cease!

When I can read my Title clear

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.LXV (1766) Topics: Light in Darkness by the Presence of God Lyrics: 1 When I can read my Title clear To Mansions in the Skies, I bid Farewel to ev'ry Fear, And wipe my weeping Eyes. 2 Should Earth against my Soul engage, And hellish Darts be hurl'd, Then I can smile at Satan's Rage, And face a frowning World. 3 Let Cares like a wild Deluge come, And Storms of Sorrow fall; May I but safely reach my Home, My God, my Heav'n my All. 4 There shall I bathe my weary Soul In Seas of heav'nly Rest; And not a Wave of Trouble roll Across my peaceful Breast.
