Doubts Overcome by Faith

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Nature Revelation of God in First Line: To God for help will I repair Lyrics: 1 To God for help will I repair, To God will I direct my prayer, And surely He will answer me, His great salvation I shall see. 2 In long-continued grief I stand And seek the Lord with outstretched hand; I find no comfort for my soul the clouds of darkness o'er me roll. 3 I think of God and call to mind His goodness, yet no peace I find; I still pour out my sad complaints, My burdened spirit almost faints. 4 With sleepless eyes and speechless grief I search the past to find relief, The former years when days were bright And songs of gladness cheered my night. 5 My constant meditations bring My heart to anxious questioning: Has God cast off, and will He be No longer merciful to me? 6 Has God forgotten to be kind? Shall I His promise faithless find? For me shall wrath henceforth replace His tender mercies and His grace? 7 In weakness I was pressed with fear, But better hopes my spirit cheer; Past mercies lead me to rely Upon the help of God Most High. 8 Thy deeds, O Lord, will I relate And on thy wonders meditate; Thy way, O God, is just and right, And none is like to Thee in might. 9 Among the nations Thou hast shown Thy wondrous power and made it known; Thou art the God that mightily Redeemed and set Thy people free. 10 At sight of Thee the waters fled, The quaking clouds their torrents shed, The lightnings flashed, the thunder pealed, The trembling earth her fear revealed. 11 Thy way, O God, was in the sea, But, though Thy paths mysterious be, Thy people Thou didst safely keep As shepherds lead their helpless sheep.

Now with Joyful Exultation

Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Revelation Lyrics: 1 Now with joyful exultation let us sing to GOD our praise; to the rock of our salvation loud hosannas let us raise. Thankful tribute gladly bringing, let us come before Him now, and, with psalms His praises singing, joyful in His presence bow. 2 For how great a God, and glorious, is the LORD to whom we sing; over idol gods victorious, great is He, our God and King. In His hand are earth's deep places, also His are all the hills; His the sea whose bounds He traces, His the land his bounty fills. 3 To the LORD such might revealing, let us come with rev'rence meet, and, before our maker kneeling, let us worship at His feet. He is our own God who leads us, we the people of His care; with a shepherd's hand He feeds us as His flock in pastures fair. 4 While He offers peace and pardon, let us hear His voice today, lest, if we our hearts should harden, we should perish in the way; lest to us, so unbelieving, He in judgment shall declare: "You, so long my Spirit grieving, never in my rest can share."
