Comfort, Comfort Ye My People

Author: Johannes Olearius; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Appears in 129 hymnals Topics: Sin and Forgiveness Lyrics: 1 Comfort, comfort ye my people, speak ye peace, thus saith our God; comfort those who sit in darkness, mourning 'neath their sorrow's load. Speak ye to Jerusalem of the peace that waits for them; tell her that her sins I cover, and her warfare now is over. 2 Yea, her sins our God will pardon, blotting out each dark misdeed; all that well deserved his anger he no more will see or heed. She hath suffered many a day, now her griefs have passed away; God will change her pining sadness into ever-springing gladness. 3 For the herald's voice is crying in the desert far and near, bidding all men to repentance, since the kingdom now is here. O that warning cry obey! Now prepare for God a way; let the valleys rise to meet him, and the hills bow down to greet him. 4 Make ye straight what long was crooked, make the rougher places plain; let your hearts be true and humble, as befits his holy reign. For the glory of the Lord now o'er earth is shed abroad; and all flesh shall see the token that his word is never broken. Scripture: Isaiah 40:1-5 Used With Tune: GENEVAN 42 (THIRSTING)

My righteous Judge, my gracious GOD

Appears in 56 hymnals Topics: Confession of Sin, Repentance and Pardon Lyrics: 1 My righteous Judge, my gracious GOD, Hear when I spread my Hands abroad, And cry for Succour from thy Throne, O make thy truth and Mercy known! 2 Let Judgment not against me pass; Behold thy Servant pleads thy Grace: Should Justice call us to thy Bar, No Man alive is guiltless there. 3 Look down in Pity, Lord, and see The mighty Woes that burthen me; Down to the Dust my Life is brought, Like one long bury'd and forgot. 4 I dwell in Darkness and unseen: My Heart is desolate within: My Thoughts in musing Silence trace The ancient Wonders of thy Grace. 5 Thence I derive a Glimpse of Hope To bear my sinking Spirits up; I stretch my Hands to GOD again, And thirst like parched Lands for Rain. 6 For Thee I thirst, I pray, I mourn: When will thy smiling Face return? Shall all my Joys on Earth remove? And GOD, for ever hide his Love? 7 My GOD, thy long Delay to save Will sink thy Pris'ner to the Grave; My Heart grows faint, and dim mine Eye; Make haste to help before I die. 8 The Night is Witness to my Tears, Distressing Pains, distressing Fears; O might I hear thy Morning Voice, How would my weary'd Pow'rs rejoice! 9 In Thee I trust, to Thee I sigh, And lift my heavy Soul on high; For Thee sit waiting all the Day, And wear the tiresome Hours away. 10 Break off my Fetters, Lord, and show Which is the Path my Feet should go; If Snares and Foes beset the Road, I flee to hide me near my GOD. 11 Teach me to do thy holy Will, And lead me to thy heav'nly Hill; Let the good Spirit of thy Love Conduct me to thy Courts above. 12 Then shall my Soul no more complain, The Tempter then shall rage in vain; And Flesh, that was my Foe before, Shall never vex my Spirit more. Scripture: Psalm 143

The Lord Our Dwelling-Place

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Afflictions For sin First Line: Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling-place Lyrics: 1 Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling place Through all the ages of our race; Before the mountains had their birth, Or ever Thou hadst formed the earth, From everlasting Thou art God, To everlasting our abode. 2 At Thy command man fades and dies And new-born generations rise; A thousand years are passed away, And all to Thee are but a day; Yea, like the watches of the night, With Thee the ages wing their flight. 3 Man soon yields up his fleeting breath Before this swelling tide of death; Like transient sleep his seasons pass, His life is like the tender grass, Luxuriant 'neath the morning sun, And withered ere the day is done. 4 Man in Thy anger is consumed, and unto grief and sorrow doomed; Before Thy clear and searching sight Our secret sins are brought to light; Beneath Thy wrath we pine and die, Our life expiring like a sigh. 5 For threescore years and ten we wait, Or fourscore years if strength be great; But grief and toil attend life's day, And soon our spirits fly away; O who with true and rev'rent though Can fear Thy anger as he ought? Scripture: Psalm 90 Used With Tune: ST. CATHERINE

Appears in 51 hymnals Topics: Sin of Tongue First Line: Help, Lord, for Men of Virtue fail Lyrics: 1 Help, Lord, for Men of Virtue fail, Religion loses Ground; The Sons of Violence prevail, And Treacheries abound. 2 Their Oaths and Promises they break, Yet act the Flatterer's Part; With fair, deceitful Lips they speak, And with a double Heart. 3 If we reprove some hateful Lye, How is their fury stirr'd? "Are not our Lips our own," they cry, "And who shall be our Lord?" 4 Scoffers appear on every Side, Where a vile Race of Men Is rais'd to Seats of Pow'r and Pride, And bears the Sword in vain. Pause. 5 Lord, when Iniquities abound, And Blasphemy grows bold, When Faith is hardly to be found, And Love is waxen cold; 6 Is not thy Chariot hast'ning on; Hast thou not giv'n this Sign; May we not trust and live upon A Promise so divine? 7 "Yes, saith the Lord, now will I rise, "And make Oppressors flee; "I shall appear to their Surprize, "And set my Servants free. 8 Thy Word, like Silver seven Times try'd, Thro' Ages shall endure; Then Men that in thy Truth confide Shall find the Promise sure. Scripture: Psalm 12
