Lyrics: 1 Lord, hear me in distress, Regard my suppliant cry, And in Thy faithfulness And righteousness reply. In judgment do not cause Thy servant to be tried; Before Thy holy laws No man is justified. 2 The enemy has sought My soul in dust to tread; To darkness I am brought, Forgotten as the dead. My spirit, crushed with grief, Is sad and overborne; My heart finds no relief, But desolate I mourn. 3 Recalling former days And all Thy wondrous deeds, The memory of Thy ways To hope and comfort leads. to Thee I stretch my hands, Let me not plead in vain; I wait as weary lands Wait for refreshing rain. 4 My failing spirit see, O Lord, to me make haste; Hide not Thy face from me, Lest bitter death I taste, O let the morn return, Let mercy light my day; For Thee in faith I yearn, O guide me in the way. 5 Lord, save me from my foe, To Thee for help I flee; Teach me Thy way to know, I have no God but Thee. By Thy good Spirit lead From trouble and distress, My erring feet shall tread The path of uprightness. 6 O Lord, for Thy Name's sake Revive my fainting heart; My soul from trouble take, For just and true Thou art. Remove my enemy, My cruel foe reward; In mercy rescue me Who am Thy servant, Lord. Scripture: Psalm 143 Languages: English Tune Title: JEWETT

Out of the Deep I Cry to Thee

Author: Benjamin La Trobe, 1725-1786; Martin Luther, 1483-1546 Hymnal: Hymnal and Liturgies of the Moravian Church #317 (1969) Topics: The Life in Christ Repentance and Confession of Sin Lyrics: 1 Out of the deep I cry to Thee, My God, with heart’s contrition; Bow down Thine ear in grace to me, And hear Thou my petition; For if in judgment Thou wilt try Man’s sin and great iniquity, Ah, who can stand before Thee. 2 To gain remission of our sin, No work of ours availeth; God’s favor we may strive to win, But all our labor faileth; We’re ‘midst our fairest actions lost, And none ‘fore Him of aught can boast. We live alone through mercy. 3 Therefore my hope is in His grace And not in my own merit; On Him my confidence I place, Instructed by His Spirit; His precious Word hath promised me He will my Joy and Comfort be; Thereon is my reliance. 4 Though sin with us much abound, Yet grace still more aboundeth; Sufficient help in Christ is found, Where sin most deeply woundeth. He the good Shepherd is indeed, Who His lost sheep doth seek and lead With tender love and pity. Languages: English Tune Title: DE PROFUNDIS

The Church’s One Foundation

Author: Samuel J. Stone Hymnal: Voices Together #397 (2020) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Body of Christ; Confessing Faith; Unity; Week of Prayer for Christian Unity Lyrics: 1 The church’s one foundation is Jesus Christ, our Lord; we are a new creation by water and the Word. From heav’n he came and taught us what perfect love can be; through life and death he sought us, and rose to set us free. 2 The church in ev’ry nation is one through all the earth; our charter of salvation, one God, one faith, one birth; one name together blessing, one holy food we share, to one hope ever pressing, at one in work and prayer. 3 Still, schisms, tribulation, and hatred fuel our war; we wait the consummation of peace forevermore. The saints their watch are keeping; their cry goes up, “How long?” And soon the night of weeping shall be the morn of song. 4 Yet we on earth have union with God, the Three in One, and mystic, sweet communion with those whose rest is won. Oh, happy ones and holy! God, give us grace that we, like them, the meek and lowly, may live eternally. Scripture: Psalm 126 Tune Title: AURELIA

Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: BROWNING
