To whom should I my troubles show And pour out my complaint? 2 My Savior bids me come; Ah! why do I delay? He calls the weary sinner home, And yet from Him I stay. 3 What is it keeps me back From which I cannot part, Which will not let the Savior take Possession of my heart? 4 Some cursed thing unknown Must surely lurk within: Some idol which I will not own, Some secret bosom sin. 5 I now believe in Thee; Compassion reigns alone; According to my faith, to me O let it, Lord, be done.

Psalm 63

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 196 hymnals First Line: My God, permit my tongue Lyrics: My God, permit my tongue This joy, to call thee mine; And let my early cries prevail To taste thy love divine. My thirsty, fainting soul Thy mercy doth implore; Not travellers in desert lands Can pant for water more. Within thy churches, Lord, I long to find my place; Thy power and glory to behold, And feel thy quick'ning grace. For life without thy love No relish can afford; No joy can be compared to this, To serve and please the Lord. To thee I'll lift my hands, And praise thee while I live; Not the rich dainties of a feast Such food or pleasure give. In wakeful hours at night I call my God to mind; I think how wise thy counsels are, And all thy dealings kind. Since thou hast been my help, To thee my spirit flies, And on thy watchful providence My cheerful hope relies. The shadow of thy wings My soul in safety keeps; I follow where my Father leads, And he supports my steps.

My trust is in the Lord

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My trust is in the Lord: How say ye then to me, "Now like a bird from peril haste, And to your mountain flee?" 2 Lo, sinners bend the bow With arrow fixed for flight; And stealthily in darkness go The true in heart to smite. 3 What can the righteous do, What can for them avail, When all foundations are destroyed, And all the pillars fail? 4 The Lord in Zion dwells, The Lord is throned on high; His eyes behold the sons of men Their hearts and ways to try. 5 The Lord the righteous proves; But those who scorn the right, Who love deceit and violence Are hateful in his sight. 6 For righteous is the Lord, He loveth righteousness, And with a gracious countenance The upright he will bless. Amen.

Thou on the Lord rely, So safe shalt thou go on; Fix on His work thy steadfast eye So shall thy work be done. 4. No profit canst thou gain By self consuming care; To Him commend thy cause, His ear Attends the softest prayer. 5.
