My God, Consider My Distress
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 45 hymnals Lyrics: 1. My God, consider my distress,
Let mercy plead my cause;
Though I have sinned against Thy grace,
I can’t forget Thy laws.
2. Forbid, forbid the sharp reproach
Which I so justly fear;
Uphold my life, uphold my hopes,
Nor let my shame appear.
3. Be Thou a surety, Lord, for me,
Nor let the proud oppress;
But make Thy waiting servant see
The shinings of Thy face.
4. My eyes with expectation fail,
My heart within me cries,
When will the Lord His truth fulfill,
And make my comforts rise?
5. Look down upon my sorrows, Lord,
And show Thy grace the same
As Thou art ever wont t’afford
To those that love Thy name. Used With Tune: ISLE OF WIGHT Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: Now bless'd be Isr'el's LORD and GOD Lyrics: 1 Now bless'd be Isr'el's LORD and GOD,
Whose Mercy, at our Need,
Has visited his People's Grief,
And them from Bondage freed.
2 And rais'd in faithful David's House,
Salvation, which of old,
Ev'n since the World itself began,
His Prophets had foretold.
3 To save us from our spiteful Foes,
And keep his Oath in Mind,
Which he to Abr'am heretofore,
And to our Fathers sign'd.
4 That we, from Fear and Danger freed,
His Temple may frequent;
And all our Days, as in his Sight,
In Holiness be spent.
5 And thou, O Child, shalt then be call'd
GOD's Prophet to declare
His Message, and before his Face
Thou shalt his Way prepare.
6 To give them Light who now in Shades
Of Night and Death abide;
And in the Way that leads to Peace,
Our Footsteps safely guide. Scripture: Luke 1:68-79 Used With Tune: [Now bless'd be Isr'el's Lord and God]
Song of Zacharias
