Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 91 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Consider all my sorrows, Lord,
And Thy deliverance send;
My soul for Thy salvation faints;
When will my troubles end?
2 Yet I have found ’tis good for me
To bear my Father’s rod;
Afflictions make me learn Thy law,
And live upon my God.
3 This is the comfort I enjoy
When new distress begins—
I read Thy Word, I run Thy way,
And hate my former sins.
4 Had not Thy Word been my delight
When earthly joys were fled,
My soul, oppressed with sorrow’s weight,
Had sunk amongst the dead.
5 I know Thy judgments, Lord, are right,
Though they may seem severe;
The sharpest sufferings I endure
Flow from Thy faithful care.
6 Before I knew Thy chastening rod
My feet were apt to stray;
But now I learn to keep Thy Word
Nor wander from Thy way. Used With Tune: TWENTY-FOURTH Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719
Consider All My Sorrows, Lord
