Psalms 4:1--5:1

• [Psa 4:1] My Prayer

  O Father, hear me as I pray to Thee, I know that I am far from purity; But Jesus died that sinful men might live, So in His Name I ask Thee to forgive. Refrain Father, Father, Humbly now I come to Thee; Father, Father, Hear, oh hear my humble plea. I pray that Thou wilt pardon ev’ry sin; O Lord, forgive and make me pure within. Plant a desire for service in my heart And give me strength to always do my part. Refrain Tonight, O Father, as the shadows creep And I so gently close my eyes in sleep, I pray that Thou wilt guard me through the night And keep me safe till comes the morning light. Refrain When morning comes, oh, let me rise to work, Forbid that duty I should ever shirk; And when at last my race on earth is run, Grant, Lord, that I may hear Thee say, “Well done.” Refrain

• [Psa 4:1] My Righteous God, Who Oft Of Old

  My righteous God, who oft of old Hast saved from troubles manifold, Give answer when I call to Thee, Be gracious now and hear my plea. How long, O men, will ye defame How long My glory turn to shame, How long will ye vain follies prize, How long pursue deceit and lies? But know, the Lord has set apart The man of godly life and heart To be His favored one for aye; Jehovah hears me when I pray. In reverence wait, from sin depart, In meditation calm your heart; Hold fast the right, be true and just, And in Jehovah put your trust. O who will show us any good, Exclaims the faithless multitude; But lift on us, O Lord, we pray, The brightness of Thy face this day. More joy from Thee has filled my heart Than great abundance could impart; I lay me down to peaceful sleep, For Thou, O Lord, dost safely keep.

• [Psa 4:1] O God Of Grace And Righteousness

  O God of grace and righteousness, Hear and attend when I complain; Thou hast enlarged me in distress, Bow down a gracious ear again. Ye sons of men, in vain ye try To turn my glory into shame; How long will scoffers love to lie, And dare reproach my Savior’s Name? Know that the Lord divides His saints From all the tribes of men beside; He hears the cry of penitents, For the dear sake of Christ that died. When our obedient hands have done A thousand works of righteousness We put our trust in God alone, And glory in His pard’ning grace. Let the unthinking many say, “Who will bestow some earthly good?” But Lord, Thy light and love we pray; Our souls desire this heav’nly food. Then shall my cheerful powers rejoice, At grace and favors so divine; Nor will I change my happy choice For all their corn, and all their wine.

• [Psa 4:1] When Our Heads Are Bowed With Woe

  When our heads are bowed with woe, When our bitter tears o’erflow, When we mourn the lost, the dear, Jesus, Son of Mary, hear! Thou our throbbing flesh hast worn, Thou our mortal griefs hast borne, Thou hast shed the human tear, Jesus, Son of Mary, hear! When the solemn death bell tolls, For our own departing souls, When our final doom is near, Jesus, Son of Mary, hear! Thou hast bowed the dying head, With the thought of all its sin, When the spirit shrinks with fear, Jesus, Son of Mary, hear! When the heart is sad within With the thought of all its sin, When the spirit shrinks with fear, Jesus, Son of Mary, hear. Thou the shame, the grief, hast known, Though the sins were not Thine own; Thou hast deigned their load to bear; Jesus, Son of Mary, hear!

• [Psa 4:3] Lord, Thou Wilt Hear Me When I Pray

  Lord, Thou wilt hear me when I pray, I am forever Thine; I fear before Thee all the day, Nor would I dare to sin. And while I rest my weary head, From cares and business free, ’Tis sweet conversing on my bed, With my own heart and Thee. I pay this evening sacrifice: And when my work is done, Great God, my faith and hope relies Upon Thy grace alone. Thus, with my thoughts composed to peace, I’ll give mine eyes to sleep; Thy hand in safety keeps my days, And will my slumbers keep.

• [Psa 4:3] On The Good And Faithful

  On the good and faithful God has set His love; When they call He sends them blessings from above. Stand in awe, and sin not, bid your heart be still; Through the silent watches think upon His will. Lay upon God’s altar good and loving deeds, And in all things trust Him to supply your needs. Anxious and despairing, many walk in night; But to those that fear Him God will send His light. In God’s love abiding, I have joy and peace More than all the wicked, though their wealth increase. In His care confiding, I will sweetly sleep. For the Lord, my Savior, will in safety keep.

• [Psa 4:5] Since All The Downward Tracts Of Time

  Since all the downward tracts of time God’s watchful eye surveys, O who so wise to choose our lot Or to appoint our ways? Good when He gives, supremely good, Nor less when He denies; E’en crosses from His sovereign hand Are blessings in disguise. Why should we doubt a Father’s love, So constant and so kind? To His unerring, gracious will Be every wish resigned.

• [Psa 4:5] Trust

  All that our Savior hath spoken Came from the heart of God; Surely it cannot be broken, Sealed with His precious blood. Refrain Tempests may rage and thunder, Mountains be rent asunder, Nations may fear and wonder— Trust, and be undismayed. As unto Abram was given God’s cov’nant word of peace, “Counting the stars” of the even— So shall thy faith increase. Refrain Trust when the light warm and tender Seemeth to Thee withdrawn; Wait a few hours, and in splendor Morning again will dawn! Refrain Trust! tho’ all others forsake thee, Yet there remains one Friend; Mercy and truth shall o’ertake thee Down to thy journey’s end. Refrain Trust under every condition Till thou shalt reach thy home; Trust, till in perfect fruition That which is real hath come. Refrain

• [Psa 4:5] What Shall We Offer Our Good Lord?

  What shall we offer our good Lord, Poor nothings! for His boundless grace! Fain would we His great Name record, And worthily set forth His praise. Great object of our growing love, To Whom our more than all we owe, Open the fountain from above, And let it our full souls o’erflow. So shall our lives Thy power proclaim, Thy grace for every sinner free; Till all mankind shall learn Thy Name, Shall all stretch out their hands to Thee. Open a door which earth and hell May strive to shut, but strive in vain; Let Thy Word richly in us dwell, And let our gracious fruit remain. O multiply the sower’s seed! And fruit we every hour shall bear, Throughout the world Thy Gospel spread, Thy everlasting truth declare. We all, in perfect love renewed, Shall know the greatness of Thy power; Stand in the temple of our God, As pillars, and go out no more.

  Holy Spirit, source of gladness, Come with all Thy radiance bright; O’er our weariness and sadness Breathe Thy life and shed Thy light! Send us Thine illumination, Banish all our fears at length; Rest upon this congregation, Spirit of unfailing strength.

• [Psa 4:8] Through The Day Thy Love Has Spared Us

  Through the day Thy love has spared us; Now we lay us down to rest; Through the silent watches guard us, Let no foe our peace molest; Jesus, Thou our Guardian be; Sweet it is to trust in Thee. Pilgrims here on earth, and strangers, Dwelling in the midst of foes; Us and ours preserve from dangers; In Thine arms may we repose. And, when life’s sad day is past, Rest with Thee in Heav’n at last.

  While sinks our land to realms of night, And twilight skies grow dim, We raise again our joyful hearts Our parting evening hymn. We bless Thee for the warm, rich glow Of this our hallowed day, And for the love that year by year Shines o’er our onward way. And now, O Father, from on high List to our evening prayer, Shed o’er our hearts a blissful calm, And keep us in Thy care.

  Hear my words, O gracious Lord, To my thoughts attentive be; Hear my cry, my King, my God, I will make my prayer to Thee. With the morning light, O Lord, Thou shalt hear my voice arise, And expectant I will bring Prayer as morning sacrifice.

• [Psa 5:1] O Jehovah, Hear My Words

  O Jehovah, hear my words, To my thoughts attentive be; Hear my cry, my King, my God, I will make my prayer to Thee. With the morning light, O Lord, Thou shalt hear my voice arise, And expectant I shall bring Prayer as morning sacrifice. Thou, Jehovah, art a God Who delightest not in sin; Evil shall not dwell with Thee, Nor the proud Thy favor win. Evil doers Thou dost hate, Lying tongues Thou wilt defeat, God abhors the man who loves Violence and base deceit. In the fullness of Thy grace To Thy house I will repair; Bowing toward Thy holy place, In Thy fear to worship there. Lead me in Thy righteousness, Let my foes assail in vain; Lest my feet be turned aside, Make Thy way before me plain. False and faithless are my foes, In their mouth no truth is found; Deadly are the words they speak, All their thoughts with sin abound. Bring, O God, their plans to naught, Hold them guilty in Thy sight, For against Thee and Thy law They have set themselves to fight. O let all that trust Thy care Ever glad and joyful be; Let them joy who love Thy Name, Safely guarded, Lord, by Thee. For a blessing from Thy store To the righteous Thou wilt yield; Thou wilt compass him about With Thy favor as a shield.

• [Psa 5:1] ’tis Jesus

  I know of a world that is sunk in shame, Where hearts oft faint and tire; But I know of a Name, a precious Name, That can set that world on fire; Its sound is sweet, its letters flame. Refrain I know of a Name, a precious Name, ’Tis Jesus. I know of a Book a marvelous Book, With a message for all who hear; And the same dear Name, His wonderful Name, Illumines its pages clear; The Book is His Word, its message I’ve heard. Refrain I know of a home in Immanuel’s land, Where hearts ne’er faint nor tire; And His marvelous Name, His own dear Name, Inspires the heav’nly choir; Hear the melody ringing, my own heart singing.
