O my God, Turn the Rod From thy wretched Creature. heal his sinful Nature. II. Under thine afflicting Touch Day and Night I languish; Streaming Sorrows wash my Couch; I'm pierc'd through with Anguish; And am hoarse Thro' the Course Of a long Complaining, All my Powers straining. III. Sorrow darkens all my Days. Night still hears me wailing, And the Minutes, as they pass, Oh, my Blame! Oh, my Shame! That I've been audacious 'Gainst a God so gracious. IV. Lord, mine Eye's consum'd with Grief, And my Heart with sighing: Yet that thou wouldst grant Relief, I cannot cease crying. Lord! how long Shall my Song Dwell on Lamentation, Void of Consolation. V. Hear poor Dust and Ashes speak: Favour my petition: Save me for thy Mercy's Sake; Save me from Perdition Hear my Groans; Heal my Bones, Which (Oh! angry Token) Thou, My God, hast broken. VI. Lord, my fainting Spirit save From the wrathful Sentence. Save from Death; for in the Grave There is no Repentance. Hear my Moan Thou alone From my Sins canst free me, And from Death redeem me. VII.

Let Thy grace, Lord, displace All Thy sore displeasure; Mete with mercy's measure. 2 Father, let Thy love be shown, Pardon my transgression. Nor Thy erring child disown; Make me Thy possession. Be my soul Rendered whole, With the oil of gladness, Do Thou cure my sadness. 3 In the pit who thinks of Thee? Who shall praises render? From the grave deliver me, God of mercies tender; Let my lays Sing Thy praise When in regions yonder I Thy goodness ponder. 4 Be ye gone, ye wicked foes, Nor again draw near me; God, the Healer of my woes, Now inclines to hear me; Death and hell, Fierce and fell, In your bonds of anguish I have ceased to languish. 5 Praise, O Father, be for aye Thine on earth, in heaven; Praises likewise be alway To Thee, Savior, given; Holy Dove, God of love, Thou hast heard:--I bless Thee And in praise address Thee.

Rise, my soul, to watch and pray

Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Rise, my soul, to watch and pray, From thy sleep awake thee, Lest at last the evil day Suddenly o'ertake thee: For the foe, well we know, Oft his harvest reapeth, While the Christian sleepeth. 2 Watch against the Devil's snares, Lest asleep he find thee; For, indeed, no pains he spares To deceive and blind thee; Satan's prey oft are they Who, securely sleeping, No good watch are keeping. 3 Watch against the world, that frowns Darkly to dismay thee; Watch when she thy wishes crowns, Smiling to betray thee; Watch and see thou art free From false friends, that charm thee, While they seek to harm thee. 4 Watch against thyself, my soul, See thou do not stifle Grace that should thy thoughts control, Nor with mercy trifle; Pride and sin lurk within All thy hopes to scatter; List not when they flatter. 7 But, while watching, also see That thou pray unceasing, For the Lord must make thee free, Strength and faith increasing, So to do service true; Let not sloth enslave thee; Pray, and God will save thee. 6 Yea, indeed, He bids us pray, Promising to hear us, E'er to be our staff and stay, Ever to be near us. Ere we plead, will He heed, Strengthen, keep, defend us, And deliv'rance send us.

Up, my soul, gird thee with pow'r

Author: Johann Burchard Freystein; Rev. Emanuel Cronenwett Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Up, my soul, gird thee with power, Watch! to prayer betake thee; Lest the sudden evil hour Unawares o'ertake thee. Satan's prey Soon are they, Who, with best endeavor, Watch not, pray not, ever. 2 But first rouse thee, and awake From secure indiff'rence; Else will follow in its wake Woe without deliv'rance. Take thou heed! Utter need, Death in sins might find thee, Ere thou look behind thee. 3 Wake, arouse! else can the Lord Not enlighten, ground thee; Nor thou see the quickening Word Shine in splendor round thee. God demands Eyes and hands Open for the offers, He so richly proffers. 4 With thy watching mingle prayer; Grace but rids from slumber. God rids thee from slothful care And the weights that cumber; Else will still Mind and will Lukewarm praises tender, And cold service render. 5 God will have it that we ask, And it shall be given; Who pray alway, alway bask In the grace of heaven. Ere they plead Will He heed, Strengthen, keep, defend them, And deliv'rance send them. 6 Cheer thee then, my soul! all must Work for good, and bless us, If we but in prayerful trust To God's Son address us; And He will Richly fill, And His Spirit send us, Who to Him commend us. 7 Let us watch then, pray, with heed, God will prove our Hearer; For the hour of utmost need Constantly draws nearer. Saints will cheer, Sinners fear, When the trumpet calleth, Earth in ruins falleth.
