Why Are Not Sinners, Lord, Consumed?

Author: John Needham Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Why are not sinners, Lord, consumed Lyrics: 1 Why are not sinners, Lord, consumed By Thy avenging rod? ’Tis Lord, because Thou art the good, And the long suffering God. 2 Tho’ men provoke Thee to Thy face, And Thy rich grace despise, Yet still Thy bounty feeds Thy foes, Thy thunder sleeping lies. 3 On swiftest wing Thy mercy flies, Thy wrath advances slow; Long dost Thou whet Thy glittering sword Before it gives the blow. 4 Long didst Thou bear a guilty world With rapine filled and blood; Thy patience wished to have restrained The wide destroying flood. 5 Could even Sodom the impure Have named ten righteous men, Thy flaming sword in sulfur dipped Would have been sheathed again. 6 How often did Thy anger burn Against Thy chosen seed? But still Thy heart within Thee turned For them Thy bowels plead. 7 How shall I give My Ephraim up? My wrath on Israel vent? How shall I Admah’s plagues inflict? I pity and repent. 8 So great are Thy compassions, Lord, Our songs they far exceed; O may such goodness melt our hearts And to repentance lead! Used With Tune: ST. MARY Text Sources: Hymns Devotional and Moral on Various Subjects (Bristol, England: S. Farley, 1768)

My God, my God, wherefore is it

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 My God, my God, wherefore is it thou hast forsaken me? Why from my help so far, and from my cry of agony? 2 All day, my God to thee I cry, yet am not heard by thee; and in the season of the night I cannot silent be. 3 But thou art holy, thou that dost inhabit Israel's praise. 4 Our Fathers hoped in thee, they hoped, and thou didst them release. 5 When unto thee they sent their cry, to them deliverance came: because they put their trust in thee, they were not put to shame. 6 But as for me, a worm I am, and as no man am prized; reproach of men I am, and by the people am despised. 7 All that me see laugh me to scorn; shoot out the lip do they; they nod and shake their heads at me, and, mocking, thus do say. 8 He trusted in the Lord, that he would free him by his might; let him deliver him, since he had in him such delight. 9 But thou art he out of the womb that didst me safely take, when I was on my mother's breasts, thou me to trust didst make. 10 And I was cast upon thy care, even from my birth till now; and from my mother's womb my God and my support art thou. 11 Be not far off, for trouble's near, and none to help is found. 12 Bulls many compass me, strong bulls or Bashan me surround. 13 Their mouths they opened wide on me, upon me gape did they, like to a lion ravening and roaring for his prey. 14 Like water I'm poured out, my bones all out of joint do part: amidst my bowels, as the saw, so melting is my heart. 15 My strength is like a potsherd dried; my tongue it cleaveth fast unto my jaws; and to the dust of death thou brought me hast. 16 For dogs have compassed me about the wicked, that did meet in their assembly, me enclosed; they pierced my hands and feet. 17 I all my bones may tell; they do upon my look and stare. 18 Upon my vesture lots they cast, my clothes among them share. 19 But be not far, O Lord, my strength; haste to give help to me. 20 From sword my soul, from power of dogs my darling, set thou free. 21 From the devouring lion's mouth my life do thou defend; to save from horns of unicorns thou dost me answer send.
