O God, Be Merciful

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #110 (1934) Meter: 6.6.6.6 D Topics: Persecution Of Believers Lyrics: 1 O God, be merciful, Be merciful to me, For man, with constant hate, Would fain my ruin see. My many enemies Against me proudly fight; To overwhelm my soul They watch from morn to night. 2 What time I am afraid I put my trust in Thee; In God I rest, and praise His word, so rich and free. In God I put my trust, I neither doubt nor fear, For man can never harm, With God my Helper near. 3 All day they wrest my words, Their thoughts are full of hate; They meet, they lurk, they watch, As for my soul they wait. Shall they be wickedness Escape Thy judgment right? O God of righteousness, Destroy them in Thy might. 4 Thou knowest all my woes, O treasure Thou my tears; Are thy not in Thy book, Where all my life appears? My foes shall backward turn When I appeal to Thee, For this I surely know, That God is still for me. Scripture: Psalm 56 Languages: English Tune Title: INVITATION

Protect and Save Me, O My God

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #114 (1934) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Persecution Of Believers Lyrics: 1 Protect and save me, O my God, From foes that seek my life, And set me high, secure, above The rising tide of strife. 2 The workers of iniquity Against me lie in wait; Though I am innocent, O Lord, They gather in their hate. 3 Behold their wickedness, O Lord, To help me, O awake; Lord God of Hosts, Thou, Israel's God, Arise, and vengeance take. 4 My enemies with deadly rage Renew their fierce attack; They think the Lord will not regard, But Thou wilt turn them back. 5 O God, my strength, on Thee I wait; To Thee for refuge flee; My God with mercy will defend, Triumphant I shall be. 6 O God our shield, let wickedness And pride be put to shame, Till all shall know that Thou dost rule And all shall fear Thy Name. 7 Let wickedness that raged in power Now rage in impotence; But I will glory in Thy strength, My refuge and defense. 8 When all the night of woe is past And morning dawns at length, Then I will praise Thy grace, O God, My refuge and my strength. 9 To Thee, O God most merciful, My thankful song I raise; My might, my strong, secure abode, I will proclaim Thy praise. Scripture: Psalm 59 Languages: English Tune Title: KATHRINE

Hear, Lord, the Voice of My Complaint

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #120 (1934) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Persecution Of Believers Lyrics: 1 Hear Lord, the voice of my complaint, Preserve my life from fear, Hide me from plotting enemies And evil, crowding near. The workers of iniquity Their deadly shafts prepare; They aim at me their treacherous words; O save me from their snare. 2 The wicked in their base designs Grow arrogant and bold; Conspiring secretly, they think That God will not behold; They search out more iniquity, Their thoughts and plans are deep, But God will smite, for He is near His saints to guard and keep. 3 The wicked, by their sins o'ercome, Shall soon be brought to shame; The hand of God shall yet appear, And all shall fear His Name. The just shall triumph in the Lord, Their trust shall be secure, And endless glory then shall crown The upright and the pure. Scripture: Psalm 64 Languages: English Tune Title: MONORA

Save Me, O God, Because the Floods

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #133 (1934) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Persecution Of Believers 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, Though 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 Languages: English Tune Title: SAWLEY

In Thy Heritage the Heathen

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #160 (1934) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Persecution Of Believers Lyrics: 1 In Thy heritage the heathen Now, O God, triumphant stand; They defile Thy holy temple, They destroy Thy chosen land; Ruthless, they have slain Thy servants, They have caused Thy saints to mourn; In the sight of all about us We endure reproach and scorn. 2 O how long against Thy people Shall Thy anger burn, O Lord? On Thy enemies, the heathen, Be Thy indignation poured; Smite the kingdoms that defy Thee, Calling not upon Thy Name; They have long devoured Thy people And have swept Thy land with flame. 3 O remember not against us Evil by our fathers wrought; Haste to help us in Thy mercy, Near to ruin we are brought; Help us, God of our salvation, For the glory of Thy Name; For Thy Name's sake come and save us, Take away our sin and shame. 4 Let Thy foes no longer scorn Thee, Now avenge Thy servants slain; Loose the prisoner, save the dying, All Thy enemies restrain; Then Thy flock, Thy chosen people, Unto Thee Thy thanks shall raise, And to every generation We will sing Thy glorious praise. Scripture: Psalm 79 Languages: English Tune Title: AMADEUS
