Suffering and Prayer

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Spiritual Darkness First Line: Save me, O God, because the floods Lyrics: 1 Save me, O God, because the floods Come in upon my soul; I sink in depths where none can stand, Deep waters o'er me roll. 2 My constant calling wearies me, My throat is parched and dried; My eyes grow dim while for my God Still waiting I abide. 3 The foes who hate me unprovoked Are strong and still increase, Tho' to disarm their enmity My right I yield for peace. 4 O God, my folly and my sin Thy holy eye can see; Yet save from shame,Lord God of Hosts, Thy saints that wait on Thee. 5 Forbid, O God, our covenant God, That those who seek Thy face Should see Thy servant put to shame And share in my disgrace. 6 It is for Thee I am reproached, For Thee I suffer shame, Until my brethren know me not, And hated is my name. 7 It is my zeal for Thy abode That has consumed my life; Reproached by those reproaching Thee, I suffer in the strife. 8 I wept, with fasting bowed my soul, Yet that was made my shame; When I in sackcloth clothed myself, Their byword I became. 9 The men who sit within the gate With slander do me wrong, And they who linger at their cups Make me their jest and song. Scripture: Psalm 69 Used With Tune: ELLA

An Outpouring of Sorrow

Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Spiritual Darkness First Line: Lord, the God of my salvation Lyrics: 1 Lord, the God of my salvation, Day and night I cry to Thee; Let my prayer now find acceptance, In Thy mercy answer me. Full of troubles and affliction, Nigh to death my soul is brought Helpless, like one cast forever From Thy care and from Thy thought. 2 Thou hast bro't me down to darkness, 'Neath Thy wrath I am oppressed; All the billows of affliction Overwhelm my soul distressed, Thou hast made my friends despise me, And companion-less I go, Bound, and helpless in my bondage, Pining in my bitter woe. 3 Unto Thee with hands uplifted Daily I direct my cry; Hear, O Lord, my supplication, Hear and save me ere I die. Wilt Thou wait to show Thy wonders And Thy mercy to the dead? Let me live to tell Thy praises, By Thy loving-kindness led. 4 Still, O Lord, renewed each morning Unto Thee my prayer shall be; Cast me not away forever, Let me now Thy favor see. All my life is spent in sorrow, Grief and terror always nigh, Waves of wrath have surged about me; Show Thy mercy ere I die. 5 Friend and lover are departed, Dark and lonely is my way; Lord, be Thou my friend and helper, Still to Thee, O Lord, I pray. Lord, the God of my salvation, Day and night I cry to Thee; Let my prayer now find acceptance, In Thy mercy answer me. Scripture: Psalm 88 Used With Tune: IRVING

Hear My Prayer, O God

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b. 1944 Meter: 5.6.5.6 D Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Darkness Lyrics: 1 Hear my prayer, O God, and listen to my plea; faithful, righteous One, give ear and answer me. Judge me not, I pray; no merit dare I claim; knowing my own faults, I trust in your just Name. 2 Hounded by a foe who crushed me to the ground, I am like the dead or those in prison bound. Hopeless, numbed by fear, I ponder all your care; thirsty as parched earth, I lift my hands in prayer. 3 Answer soon, O God; my spirit faints in me; do not hide your face, or I will cease to be. When the morning dawns, make known your love anew; show me how to walk, for I will trust in you. 4 Keep me safe, O God, and help me learn your will; let your Spirit lead through level pathways still. For your great Name’s sake, my griefs and fears dispel; free me from my foes, that I may serve you well. Scripture: Psalm 143 Used With Tune: HYMN CHANT
