Appears in 11 hymnals Topics: Royalty of Christ Universal Domain of First Line: Lord, hear me in distress 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 mem'ry 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 Used With Tune: BRADBURY

What can we do to hasten the time, the time that shall surely be, when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea? 4 March we forth in the strength of God, with the banner of Christ unfurled, that the light of the glorious gospel of truth may shine throughout the world; fight we the fight with sorrow and sin, to set their captives free, that the earth may be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea. 5 All we can do is nothing worth unless God blesses the deed; vainly we hope for the harvest-tide till God gives life to the seed; yet nearer and nearer draws the time, the time that shall surely be, when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea.
