In My Hour of Grief or Need
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, 1926- Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In my hour of grief or need,
when a friend is friend indeed,
now, when Satan walks abroad,
be not far from me, O LORD.
2 When the pow'rs of evil ride
through the world in open pride,
flaunted sins and boasted shame
bring contempt upon Your name.
3 When the godless hosts are strong,
when their mouth is filled with wrong,
bitterness, deceit and fraud,
be not far from me, O LORD.
4 When the poor become their prey,
when the weak are led astray,
right is wrong and truth is lies,
then, O LORD our God, arise!
5 Pow'rs of darkness bring to grief;
break the hold of unbelief;
sound anew the quick'ning word,
rise and come among us, LORD!
6 Then shall vice and falsehood fail,
truth and righteousness prevail;
all His ransomed people sing,
God, their everlasting King! Scripture: Psalm 10 Used With Tune: ABERAFON
