Psalms 13:1
-
[Psa 13:1] How Long Wilt Thou Forget Me
How long wilt Thou forget me,
O Lord, Thou God of grace?
How long shall fears beset me
While darkness hides Thy face?
How long shall griefs distress me
And turn my day to night?
How long shall foes oppress me
And triumph in their might?O Lord my God, behold me
And hear mine earnest cries;
Lest sleep of death enfold me,
Enlighten Thou mine eyes;
Lest now my foe insulting
Should boast of his success,
And enemies exulting
Rejoice in my distress.But I with expectation
Have on Thy grace relied;
My heart in Thy salvation
Shall still with joy confide;
And I with voice of singing
Will praise the Lord above,
Who, richest bounties bringing,
Has dealt with me in love.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Psa 13:1] How Long Wilt Thou Forget Me, Lord?
How long wilt Thou forget me, Lord?
Shall it for ever be?
O how long shall it be that Thou
Wilt hide Thy face from me?How long take counsel in my soul,
Still sad in heart, shall I?
How long exalted over me
Shall be mine enemy?O Lord my God, consider well,
And answer to me make:
Mine eyes enlighten, lest the sleep
Of death me overtake:Lest that mine enemy should say,
Against him I prevailed;
And those that trouble me rejoice,
When I am moved and failed.But I have all my confidence
Thy mercy set upon;
My heart within me shall rejoice
In Thy salvation.I will unto the Lord my God
Sing praises cheerfully,
Because He hath His bounty shown
To me abundantly.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Psa 13:1] How Long Wilt Thou Conceal Thy Face?
How long wilt Thou conceal Thy face?
My God, how long delay?
When shall I feel those heav’nly rays
That chase my fears away?How long shall my poor laboring soul
Wrestle and toil in vain?
Thy word can all my foes control
And ease my raging pain.See how the prince of darkness tries
All his malicious arts;
He spreads a mist around my eyes,
And throws his fiery darts.Be Thou my sun, and Thou my shield,
My soul in safety keep;
Make haste, before mine eyes are sealed
In death’s eternal sleep.How would the tempter boast aloud
If I become his prey!
Behold, the sons of hell grow proud
At Thy so long delay.But they shall fly at Thy rebuke,
And Satan hide his head;
He knows the terrors of Thy look,
And hears Thy voice with dread.Thou wilt display Thy sovereign grace,
Where all my hopes have hung,
I shall employ my lips in praise
And victory shall be sung.Play source: Cyberhymnal

Only Thy presence, O Savior divine,
Only Thy Spirit to witness with mine;

Seal of forgiveness, assurance of rest.Refrain

All will be well; yes, all will be well;

Out of the darkness and into the light;
Only a whisper to tell Thou art near,
Only Thy sunshine to banish my fear.Refrain

Lifting so gently my burden of care;
Only Thy presence to show me the way,
Home to the mansions of infinite day.Refrain

My God, I am Thine, what a comfort divine,
What a blessing to know that my Jesus is mine!
In the heavenly Lamb thrice happy I am,
And my heart it doth dance at the sound of His Name.True pleasures abound in the rapturous sound;
And whoever hath found it hath paradise found:
My Jesus to know, and feel His blood flow,

Love outshines the night of sin.So we find the true atonement,
Know in God the perfect Friend;

Where all hearts in Him may blend.

What the heart yearns for, by sin undermined;

Only true pleasures in Jesus abound.Refrain
All that I want is in Jesus.
He satisfies, joy He supplies;
Life would be worthless without Him;

Crushed them with sorrow and blinded with tears.
Yet One stands ready to help them just now,
If they will humbly in penitence bow.Refrain
No other name thrills the joy chords within,
And through none else is remission of sin.
He knows the pain of the heart sorely tried.

One glimpse of Jesus and all will be bright!Refrain

On the banks beyond the river
We shall meet, no more to sever;
In the bright, the bright forever,

[Psa 16:11] How Tedious And Tasteless
How tedious and tasteless the hours
When Jesus I no longer see;
Sweet prospects, sweet birds and sweet flowers,
Have all lost their sweetness to me;
The midsummer sun shines but dim,
The fields strive in vain to look gay.
But when I am happy in Him,
December’s as pleasant as May.His Name yields the richest perfume,
And sweeter than music His voice;
His presence disperses my gloom,
And makes all within me rejoice.
I should, were He always thus nigh,
Have nothing to wish or to fear;
No mortal as happy as I,
My summer would last all the year.Content with beholding His face,
My all to His pleasure resigned,
No changes of season or place
Would make any change in my mind:
While blessed with a sense of His love,
A palace a toy would appear;
All prisons would palaces prove,
If Jesus would dwell with me there.Dear Lord, if indeed I am Thine,
If Thou art my sun and my song,
Say, why do I languish and pine?
And why are my winters so long?
O drive these dark clouds from the sky,
Thy soul cheering presence restore;
Or take me to Thee up on high,
Where winter and clouds are no more.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Psa 16:11] Lord, We Thank Thee For The Pleasure
Lord, we thank Thee for the pleasure
That our happy lifetime gives,
For the boundless worth and treasure
Of a soul that ever lives;
Mind that looks before and after,
Lifting eyes to things above;
Human tears, and human laughter,
And the depths of human love.For the thrill, the leap, the gladness
Of our pulses flowing free;
E’en for every touch of sadness
That may bring us nearer Thee;
But, above all other kindness,
Thine unutterable love,
Which, to heal our sin and blindness,
Sent Thy dear Son from above.Teach us so our days to number
That we may be early wise;
Dreamy mist, or cloud, or slumber,
Never dull our heav’nward eyes.
Hearty be our work and willing,
As to Thee, and not to men;
For we know our soul’s fulfilling
Is in Heav’n, and not ’til then.source: Cyberhymnal -

O Lord of life, and love, and power,

If in Thy service every hour
We lived and moved with Thee;
If youth in all its bloom and might
By Thee were sanctified,
And manhood found its chief delight
In working at Thy side!’Tis ne’er too late, while life shall last,
A new life to begin;
’Tis ne’er too late to leave the past,

For hearts to nobler purpose strung,
And purified desire.Nor for ourselves alone we plead,
But for all faithful souls
Who serve Thy cause by word or deed,
Whose names Thy book enrolls:

With racking anguish torn.See how the nails those hands
And feet so tender rend;
See down His face, and neck, and breast
His sacred blood descend.Oh, hear that last, loud cry
Which pierced His mother’s heart,
As into God the Father’s hands
He bade His soul depart.Earth hears, and trembling quakes
Around that tree of pain;
The rocks are rent; the graves are burst;
The veil is rent in twain.Shall man alone be mute?
Have we no griefs, or fears?
Come, old and young, come, all mankind,
And bathe those feet in tears.Come, fall before His cross,
Who shed for us His blood,
Who died, the Victim of pure love,
To make us sons of God.Jesu, all praise to Thee,
Our Joy and endless Rest;

Our Crown amid the blest.source: Cyberhymnal

Lead me aright,
Though strength should falter and though heart should bleed,
Through peace to light.I do not ask, O Lord, that Thou shouldst shed
Full radiance here
Give but a ray of peace, that I may tread
Without a fear.I do not ask my cross to understand,

Teach me the measure of my days,
Teach me to know how frail I am,
And spend the remnant in Thy praise.My days are shorter than a span,
A little point my life appears;
How frail at best is dying man!
How vain are all his hopes and fears!Vain his ambition, noise and show;
Vain are the cares which rack his mind;
He heaps up treasures mixed with woe,
And dies and leaves them all behind.O be a nobler portion mine!
My God, I bow before Thy throne;
Earth’s fleeting treasures I resign,
And fix my hope on Thee alone.source: Cyberhymnal -
[Psa 39:4] Teach Me The Measure Of My Days
Teach me the measure of my days,
Thou Maker of my frame;
I would survey life’s narrow space,
And learn how frail I am.A span is all that we can boast,
An inch or two of time;
Man is but vanity and dust
In all his flower and prime.See the vain race of mortals move
Like shadows o’er the plain;
They rage and strive, desire and love,
But all the noise is vain.Some walk in honor’s gaudy show,
Some dig for golden ore;
They toil for heirs, they know not who,
And straight are seen no more.What should I wish or wait for, then,
From creatures earth and dust?
They make our expectations vain,
And disappoint our trust.Now I forbid my carnal hope,
My fond desires recall;
I give my mortal interest up,
And make my God my all.Play source: Cyberhymnal

Home on the other side, Jesus, my Lord,
I shall awake with Thee, Thine through eternity,
Thou that hast died for me, Jesus, my Lord.Refrain

[Psa 40:2] He Brought Me Out
My heart was distressed ’neath Jehovah’s dread frown,
And low in the pit where my sins dragged me down;
I cried to the Lord from the deep miry clay,
Who tenderly brought me out to golden day.Refrain
He brought me out of the miry clay,
He set my feet on the Rock to stay;
He puts a song in my soul today,
A song of praise, hallelujah!He placed me upon the strong Rock by His side,
My steps were established and here I’ll abide;
No danger of falling while here I remain,
But stand by His grace until the crown I gain.Refrain
He gave me a song, ’twas a new song of praise;
By day and by night its sweet notes I will raise;
My heart’s overflowing, I’m happy and free.
I’ll praise my Redeemer, who has rescued me.Refrain
I’ll sing of His wonderful mercy to me,
I’ll praise Him till all men His goodness shall see;
I’ll sing of salvation at home and abroad,
Till many shall hear the truth and trust in God.Refrain

[Psa 43:3] Give Light, O Lord
Give light, O Lord, that we may learn
The way that leads to Thee,
That where our hearts true joy discern,
Our life may be.Give light, O Lord, that we may know

Where wisdom bids beware,
And turn our doubting minds to Thee,
In faithful prayer.Give light, O Lord, that we may look
Beneath, around, above,
And learn from nature’s living book
Thy power and love.Give light, O Lord, that we may read
All signs that Thou art near,
And, while we live, in word and deed
Thy Name revere.Give light, O Lord, that we may trace
In trial, pain, and loss
In poorest lot, and lowest place,
A Savior’s cross.Give light, O Lord, that we may see
A home beyond the sky,
Where all who live in Christ with Thee
Shall never die.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

[Psa 59:3] I Am Hated, Lord
I am hated, Lord, by those
Who Thy holy truth despise;
Save me from my wicked foes,
Lord of hosts, arise, arise!Thou’rt my rock and my defense;
Thou a tower unto Thy saints;
Thee I make my confidence,
Thee I’ll trust, though nature faints.Glad Thy mercies will I sing,
All Thy power and love confess;
Thou hast been, O heavenly King,
My safe refuge in distress!Songs with every morning’s light,
Lord, shall rise up to Thy throne;
All Thy saints shall praise Thy might,
And Thy mercy shall make known.Play source: Cyberhymnal
Psalms 69:13

[Psa 69:13] In Full Assurance Of Thy Grace
In full assurance of Thy grace
To Thee my prayers ascend
In Thine abounding love and truth,
O God, salvation send.Preserve my sinking soul, I pray,
From tides of hatred save;
Let not the waters overflow,
Redeem me from the grave.Because Thy mercy, Lord, is good,
O answer me in grace,
And in the riches of Thy love
O turn to me Thy face.Hide not Thy face from my distress,
A speedy answer send;
Draw near to me, my soul redeem,
From all my foes defend.Well known to Thee is my reproach,
My shame and my disgrace,
The adversaries of my soul
Are all before Thy face.My heart is broken by reproach,
My soul is full of grief;
I looked in vain for comforters,
For pity and relief.They gave me bitter gall for food,
And taunting words they spake,
They gave me vinegar to drink,
My burning thirst to slake.Their peace and plenty be their snare,
In blindness let them grope;
Thine indignation on them pour,
And desolate their hope.Because they proudly persecute
Those whom Thou, Lord, dost smite,
Let them be blotted from Thy book
And banished from Thy sight.Play source: Cyberhymnal

[Psa 70:1] Make Haste, O My God, To Deliver
Make haste, O my God, to deliver, I pray,
O Lord, to my rescue make haste;
Let those who would harm me be filled with dismay,
And in their own folly disgraced.Let them be turned back in confusion, O Lord,
Who in my destruction would joy;
Let shame and defeat be their only reward,
Who sneers and derision employ.May all those who seek Thee, and make Thee their choice,
Great gladness and blessedness see;
May all those who love Thy salvation rejoice
And constantly magnify Thee.I cry in deep need and Thy help I implore;
Make haste to the rescue, I pray;
My Savior Thou art, and my Strength evermore,
No longer Thy coming delay.Play source: Cyberhymnal

[Psa 139:11] Round Me Falls The Night
Round me falls the night; Savior, be my Light:
Through the hours in darkness shrouded
Let me see Thy face unclouded;
Let Thy glory shine in this heart of mine.Earthly work is done, earthly sounds are none;
Rest in sleep and silence seeking,
Let my hear Thee softly speaking;
In my spirit’s ear whisper “I am near.”Darkened now each ray o’er the traveler’s way;
Let me know that Thou hast found me,
Let me feel Thine arms around me,
Sure from every ill Thou wilt guard me still.Blessèd heavenly Light, shining through earth’s night;
Voice, that oft of love hast told me;
Arms, so strong to clasp and hold me;
Thou Thy watch wilt keep, Savior, o’er my sleep.Play source: Cyberhymnal

[Psa 141:1] O Kind Creator, Bow Thine Ear
O kind Creator, bend Thine ear
To mark the cry, to know the tear
Before Thy throne of mercy spent
In this Thy holy fast of Lent.Our hearts are open, Lord, to Thee;
Thou knowest our infirmity;
Pour out on all who seek Thy face
Abundance of Thy pardoning grace.Our sins are many, this we know;
Spare us, good Lord, Thy mercy show;
And for the honor of Thy Name
Our fainting souls to life reclaim.Give us the self control that springs
From discipline of outward things,
That fasting inward secretly
The soul may purely dwell with Thee.We pray Thee, Holy Trinity,
One God, unchanging Unity,
That we from this our abstinence
May reap the fruits of penitence.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Psa 141:1] O Lord, Make Haste To Hear My Cry
O Lord, make haste to hear my cry,
To Thee I call, on Thee rely.
Incline to me a gracious ear,
And, when I call, in mercy hear.When in the morning unto Thee
I lift my voice and bring my plea,
Then let my prayer as incense rise
To God enthroned above the skies.When unto Thee I look and pray
With lifted hands at close of day,
Then as the evening sacrifice
Let my request accepted rise.Guard Thou my thoughts, I Thee implore,
And of my lips keep Thou the door;
Nor leave my sinful heart to stray
Where evil footsteps lead the way.O righteous God, Thy chastisement,
Though sent through foes, in love is sent;
Though grievous, it will profit me,
A healing ointment it shall be.While wickedness my foes devise,
To Thee my constant prayer shall rise,
When their injustice is o’erthrown,
My gentleness shall still be shown.Brought nigh to death and sore distressed,
O Lord, my God, in Thee I rest;
Forsake me not, I look to Thee,
Let me Thy great salvation see.Themselves entangled in their snare,
Their own defeat my foes prepare,
O keep me, Lord, nor let me fall,
Protect and lead me safe through all.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

In tender pity bow Thine ear:
Accept the tearful prayer we raise
In this our fast of forty days.Each heart is manifest to Thee;
Thou knowest our infirmity:
Repentant now we seek Thy face;
Impart to us Thy pardoning grace.Our sins are manifold and sore,
But spare Thou them who sin deplore;
And for Thine own Name’s sake make whole
The fainting and the weary soul.Grant us to mortify each sense
By means of outward abstinence,
That so from every stain of sin
The soul may keep her fast within.Blest Three in One, and One in Three
Almighty God, we pray to Thee,
That Thou wouldst now vouchsafe to bless
Our fast with fruits of righteousness.Play source: Cyberhymnal

On the flowers strewed,
Proving as they sparkle,
“God is ever good,
Ever good.”See the morning sunbeams
Lighting up the wood,
Silently proclaiming,
“God is ever good,
Ever good.”Hear the mountain streamlet
In its solitude,
With its ripple saying,
“God is ever good,
Ever good.”He Who came to save us
Shed His precious blood;
Better things it speaketh:
“God is ever good,
Ever good.”Bring, my heart, thy tribute,
Songs of gratitude;
All things join to tell us,

[Psa 143:10] Within The Maddening Maze Of Things
Within the maddening maze of things,
When tossed by storm and flood,
To one fixed trust my spirit clings;
I know that God is good!No offering of my own I have,
Nor works my faith to prove;
I can but give the gifts He gave,
And plead His love for love.I know not where His islands lift
Their fronded palms in air;
I only know I cannot drift
Beyond His love and care.And so beside the silent sea
I wait the muffled oar;
No harm from Him can come to me
On ocean or on shore.I know not what the future hath
Of marvel or surprise,
Assured alone that life and death
His mercy underlies.Play source: Cyberhymnal
