The Lord will come and not be slow
Author: John Milton (1608-1674) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 98 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 86 Lyrics: 1 The Lord will come and not be slow,
His footsteps cannot err;
Before Him righteousness shall go,
His royal harbinger.
2 Truth from the earth, like to a flower,
Shall bud and blossom then;
And justice, from her heavenly bower,
Look down on mortal men.
3 Rise, God, judge Thou the earth in might,
This wicked earth redress;
For Thou art He who shall by right
The nations all possess.
4 For great Thou art, and wonders great
By Thy strong hand are done:
Thou in Thy everlasting seat
Remainest God alone.
Amen. Topics: Jesus Christ the Lord His Coming in Glory; Christ Second Coming, His; Coming in Glory Used With Tune: OLD 107TH

Psalm 86
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 51 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 86:8-13 First Line: Among the princes, earthly gods Lyrics:
Among the princes, earthly gods,
There's none hath power divine;
Nor is their nature, mighty Lord,
Nor are their works, like thine.
The nations thou hast made shall bring
Their off'rings round thy throne;
For thou alone dost wondrous things,
For thou art God alone.
Lord, I would walk with holy feet;
Teach me thine heav'nly ways,
And my poor scattered thoughts unite
In God my Father's praise.
Great is thy mercy, and my tongue
Shall those sweet wonders tell,
How by thy grace my sinking soul
Rose from the deeps of hell.

LORD, My Petition Heed
There's a Wideness in God's Mercy
Author: Frederick W. Faber Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 900 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 86:15 Lyrics: 1 There’s a wideness in God’s mercy
like the wideness of the sea;
there’s a kindness in his justice
which is more than liberty.
2 There is welcome for the sinner
and more graces for the good;
there is mercy with the Savior;
there is healing in his blood.
3 For the love of God is broader
than the measure of our mind;
and the heart of the Eternal
is most wonderfully kind.
4 If our love were but more simple,
we would take him at his word,
and our lives would be illumined
by the presence of our Lord.

Psalm 86: O Lord, do thou bow down thine ear
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 10 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 86 First Line: O Lord, do thou bow down thine ear Lyrics:
1O Lord, do thou bow down thine ear,
and hear me graciously;
Because I sore afflicted am,
and am in poverty.
2Because I’m holy, let my soul
by thee preserved be:
O thou my God, thy servant save,
that puts his trust in thee.
3Sith unto thee I daily cry,
be merciful to me.
4Rejoice thy servant’s soul; for, Lord,
I lift my soul to thee.
5For thou art gracious, O Lord,
and ready to forgive;
And rich in mercy, all that call
upon thee to relieve.
6Hear, Lord, my pray’r; unto the voice
of my request attend:
7In troublous times I’ll call on thee;
for thou wilt answer send.
8Lord, there is none among the gods
that may with thee compare;
And like the works which thou hast done,
not any work is there.
9All nations whom thou mad’st shall come
and worship rev’rently
Before thy face; and they, O Lord,
thy name shall glorify.
10Because thou art exceeding great,
and works by thee are done
Which are to be admir’d; and thou
art God thyself alone.
11Teach me thy way, and in thy truth,
O Lord, then walk will I;
Unite my heart, that I thy name
may fear continually.
12O Lord my God, with all my heart
to thee I will give praise;
And I the glory will ascribe
unto thy name always:
13Because thy mercy toward me
in greatness doth excel;
And thou deliver’d hast my soul
out from the lowest hell.
14O God, the proud against me rise,
and vi’lent men have met,
That for my soul have sought; and thee
before them have not set.
15But thou art full of pity, Lord,
a God most gracious,
Long-suffering, and in thy truth
and mercy plenteous.
16O turn to me thy countenance,
and mercy on me have;
Thy servant strengthen, and the son
of thine own handmaid save.
17Shew me a sign for good, that they
which do me hate may see,
And be asham’d; because thou, Lord,
didst help and comfort me.

To my Complaint, O Lord my God
Appears in 14 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 86 Lyrics: 1 To my Complaint, O Lord my God,
thy gracious Ear incline;
Hear me, distress'd and destitute
of all Relief but thine;
2 Do thou, O God, preserve my Soul,
that does thy Name adore:
Thy Servant keep, and him, whose Trust
relies on Thee, restore.
3 To me who daily Thee invoke,
thy Mercy, Lord, extend;
4 Refresh thy Servant's Soul, whose Hopes
on Thee alone depend.
5 Thou, Lord, art good, nor only good,
but prompt to pardon too:
Of plenteous Mercy to all those
who for thy Mercy sue.
6 To my repeated humble Pray'r,
O Lord, attentive be;
7 When troubled I on Thee will call,
for Thou wilt answer me.
8 Among the Gods there's none like Thee,
O Lord, alone divine!
To Thee as much inferior they,
as are their Works to thine.
9 Therefore their great Creator Thee,
the Nations shall adore;
Their long misguided Pray'rs and Praise
to thy blest Name restore.
10 All shall confess Thee great, and great
the Wonders thou hast done;
Confess thee God, thee God supreme,
Confess thee God alone.
Part II
11 Teach me thy Way, O Lord, and I
from Truth shall ne'er depart;
In Rev'rence to thy sacred Name
devoutly fix my Heart.
12 Thee will I praise, O Lord my God,
praise thee with Heart sincere:
And to thy everlasting name
eternal Trophies rear.
13 Thy boundless Mercy shewn to me,
transcends my Pow'r to tell,
For thou haSt oft redeem'd my Soul
from lowest Depths of Hell.
14 O God, the Sons of Pride and Strife
have my Destruction sought,
Regardless of thy Pow'r that oft
has my Deliv'rance wrought:
15 But thou thy constant Goodness didst
to my Assistance bring;
Of Patience, Mercy, and of Truth,
thou everlasting Spring!
16 O bounteous Lord, thy Grace and Strength
to me thy Servant show;
Thy kind Protection, Lord, on me,
thine Handmaid's Son bestow.
17 Some Signal give, which my proud Foes
may see with Shame and Rage,
When thou, O Lord, for my Relief
and Comfort do'st engage.

perfectly restored in thee,
changed from glory into glory,
till in heaven we take our place,
till we cast our crowns before thee,
lost in wonder, love, and praise.
