Though I Am Poor and Sorrowful

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #135 (1934) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Poor Lyrics: 1 Though I am poor and sorrowful, Hear Thou, O God, my cry; Let Thy salvation come to me And lift me up on high. 2 Then will I praise my God with song, To Him my thanks shall rise, And this shall please Jehovah more Than offered sacrifice. 3 The meek shall see it and rejoice; Ye saints, no more be sad; For lo, Jehovah hears the poor And makes His prisoners glad. 4 Let heaven and earth and seas rejoice, Let all therein give praise, For Zion God will surely save, Her broken walls will raise. 5 In Zion they that love His Name Shall dwell from age to age; Yea, there shall be their lasting rest, Their children's heritage. Scripture: Psalm 69 Languages: English Tune Title: BALERMA

Friends of the poor, the young, the weak

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #312 (1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Children appeal from poor Lyrics: Friends of the poor, the young, the weak, Regard our humble train; Compassion at your hands we seek; Shall children plead in vain? Were you not children once?--Renew The time when young as we; Think of the friends that nourish'd you, And hearken to our plea. Are there not feelings from above, In every heart that reign? The pulse, the voice, the look of love:-- Shall Nature plead in vain? Have you no dear ones round your hearth, As weak and young as we? Think, if like ours had been their birth, Could you resist the plea? Have you not known a Saviour's grace, For man's redemption slain? Behold that Saviour in our place;-- Shall Jesus plead in vain? No;--by His early griefs and tears, When poor and young as we; By all His woes in after years, Accept your Saviour's plea. Languages: English
