Lord God, my Saviour, day and night
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord God, my Saviour, day and night
before thee cried have I.
2 Before thee let my prayer come;
give ear unto my cry.
3 For troubles great do fill my soul;
my life draws night the grave.
4 I'm counted with those that go down
to death, and no strength have.
5 Free midst the dead, like to the slain
that in the grave do lie;
cut off from thy hand, whom no more
thou hast in memory.
6 Thou hast me laid in lowest pit,
in deeps and darksome caves;
7 thy wrath lies hard on me, thou hast
me pressed with all they waves.
8 Thou hast put far from me my friends,
made me their scorn to know;
and I am so shut up that I
no longer forth can go.
9 By reason of my deep distress,
mine eye doth waste away;
to thee, Lord, I call, and stretch
my hands out every day.
10 Wilt thou show wonders to the dead?
shall they rise and thee bless?
11 Shall in the grave thy love be told?
in death thy faithfulness?
12 Shall thy great wonders in the dark,
or shall thy righteousness
be known to any in the land
of deep forgetfulness?
13 But, Lord, to thee I cried; my prayer
at morn shall come to thee.
14 Why, Lord, dost thou cast off my soul,
and hide thy face from me?
15 Distressed am I, and from my youth
I ready am to die,
thy terrors I have borne, and am
distracted fearfully.
16 By thy fierce wrath I'm overwhelmed,
cut off by dread of thee;
17 like floods thy terrors round me close,
all day they compass me.
18 My friends thou hast put far from me,
and him that did me love;
and those that mine acquaintance were
to darkness didst remove. Scripture: Psalm 88 Used With Tune: BANGOR

When Wild Confusion Wrecks The Air
Author: Mather Byles Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 32 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When wild confusion wrecks the air
And tempests rend the skies,
Whilst blended ruin, clouds and fire
In harsh disorder rise;
2 Safe in my Savior’s love I’ll stand
And strike a tuneful song,
My harp all trembling in my hand,
And all inspired my tongue.
3 I’ll shout aloud, Ye thunders, roll,
And shake the sullen sky;
Your sounding voices, pole to pole
In angry murmurs cry.
4 The earth, she totters on her base,
And clouds the heav’n deform;
Blow, all ye winds from every place,
And rush the final storm.
5 Come quickly, blessèd hope, appear,
Bid swift thy chariot fly,
Let angels tell thy coming near,
And snatch me to the sky.
6 Around thy wheels in gladdest throng
I’d bear a joyful part;
All hallelujah on my tongue,
All rapture in my heart. Used With Tune: BANGOR Text Sources: Appendix to Tate and Brady (Boston: S. Kneeland, 1760)

The Spring, Great God, At Thy Command
Author: Thomas Gibbons Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 19 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The spring, great God, at Thy command,
Leads forth the smiling year;
Gay verdure, foliage, blooms and flowers,
T’adorn her reign, appear.
2 But soon canst Thou in righteous wrath
Blast all the promised joy,
The elements await Thy nod
To bless, or to destroy.
3 The sun, Thy minister of love,
That from the naked ground
Calls forth the hidden seeds to birth,
And spreads their beauties round;
4 But now, at God’s dread order sends
Destructive darts and fires;
Hills, plains, and vales are parched with drought,
And blooming life expires.
5 Like burnished brass, the heav’n around
In angry terror burns;
Our earth becomes a joyless waste,
And into iron turns.
6 O pity, Lord, in our distress,
Nor with our land contend;
Bid the avenging skies relent,
And showers of mercy send. Used With Tune: BANGOR Text Sources: A Selection of Hymns from the Best Authors by John Rippon
The Spring, Great God, At Thy Command
How long will your forget me, Lord
Author: Christopher Idle, 1938- Appears in 8 hymnals First Line: How long will you forget me, Lord Lyrics: 1 How long will you forget me, Lord,
and hide your face away?
How long shall evils tear my heart
and troubles fill my day?
2 Look on my need, O Lord my God
who grants my every breath;
give light that I may see your light,
nor sleep the sleep of death.
3 Look on their threats and hear my cry,
and answer when I call,
or they will claim the victory
who long to see me fall.
4 But since I trust your constant love,
my heart is glad and free
to sing the praises of the lord
whose grace has rescued me. Topics: Discouragement / Despair; Doubt; God Love and Grace of; Lament; Light; Metrical Psalms; Music / Singing / Song; Trust Scripture: Psalm 13 Used With Tune: BANGOR

The Foes of Zion Quake for Fright
Author: Charles H. Spurgeon Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1. The foes of Zion quake for fright,
Where no fear was they quail;
For well they know that sword of might
Which cuts through coats of mail.
2. The Lord of old defiled their shields,
And laughed their spears to scorn,
Their bones lay scattered o’er the field,
By dogs and vultures torn.
3. Let Zion’s foes be filled with shame;
Her sons are blessed of God;
Though scoffers now despise their name
The Lord shall break their rod.
4. Oh, would our God to Zion turn,
God with salvation clad;
Then Judah’s harps should music learn,
And Israel be glad. Used With Tune: BANGOR Text Sources: Our Own Hymn Book, 1866

How David, When by Sin Deceived
Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1. How David, when by sin deceived,
From bad to worse went on!
For when the Holy Spirit’s grieved,
Our strength and guard are gone.
2. His eye on Bathsheba once fixed,
With poison filled his soul;
He ventured on adultery next,
And murder crowned the whole.
3. So from a spark of fire at first,
That has not been descried;
A dreadful flame has often burst,
And ravaged far and wide.
4. When sin deceives it hardens too,
For though he vainly fought
To hide his crimes from public view,
Of God he little thought.
5. He neither would, or could repent,
No true compunction felt;
’Till God in mercy Nathan sent,
His stubborn heart to melt.
6. The parable held forth a fact,
Designed his case to show;
But though the picture was exact,
Himself he did not know.
7. Thou art the man, the prophet said,
That word his slumber broke;
And when he owned his sin, and prayed,
The Lord forgiveness spoke.
8. Let those who think they stand, beware,
For David stood before;
Nor let the fallen soul despair,
For mercy can restore. Used With Tune: BANGOR Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London: W. Oliver, 1779), number 29
