O God, give ear unto my cry
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 33 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God, give ear unto my cry;
and to my prayer attend.
from distant corners of the land
my cry to you I'll send.
2 My plea is made with fainting heart
and great perplexity;
lead me in safety to the rock
that higher is than I.
3 For you have long my refuge been,
a shelter by your power;
a tower of strength against my foes
in every evil hour.
4 Within your dwelling, Lord my God,
for ever I'll abide;
and in the shadow of your wings
with confidence I'll hide. Topics: God Protection of; Trust Scripture: Psalm 61:1-4 Used With Tune: WIGTOWN Text Sources: The Scottish Psalter, 1929, alt.
O God, give ear unto my cry
Hear this, all people and give ear
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hear this, all people, and give ear,
all in the world that dwell,
2 both low and high, both rich and poor;
3 my mouth shall wisdom tell:
my heart shall knowledge meditate.
4 I will incline mine ear
to parables, and on the harp
my sayings dark declare.
5 Amidst those days that evil be,
why should I fearing doubt?
When my pursuers' wickedness
shall compass me about.
6 Whoe’er they be that in their wealth
their confidence do place,
and who themselves because
their riches grow apace;
7 Yet none of these his brother can
redeem by any way;
nor can he unto God for him
sufficient ransom pay;
8 that he should still for ever live
and not corruption see:
9 their souls's redemption costly is,
nor can it ever be.
10 Because he sees that wise men die,
that fools and brutish all
do perish, and, when dead, their wealth
doth unto others fall.
11 Their inward thought is that their homes
and dwelling places all
shall stand for evermore; their lands
by their own names they call.
12 But yet in honour shall not man
abide continually;
but passing hence may be compared
unto the beasts that die.
13 Thus brutish folly plainly is
their wisdom and their way;
yet their posterity approve
what they do fondly say.
14 Like sheep they in the grave are laid,
and death shall them devour;
and in the morning upright men
shall over them have power:
their beauty from their dwelling shall
consume within the grave.
15 But from death’s hand God will me free,
for he shall me receive.
16 Be not afraid then when a man
enriched thou dost see;
nor when the glory of his house
increaseth wondrously.
17 For he shall carry nothing hence,
when death his days doth end;
nor shall his glory after him
into the grave descend.
18 Although he his own soul did bless,
whilst he on earth did live;
(and when thou to thyself dost well,
men will thee praises give;)
19 he to his fathers’ race shall go;
they never shall see light.
20 Man honoured wanting knowledge is
like beasts that perish quite. Scripture: Psalm 49 Used With Tune: WIGTOWN

Heal Us, Immanuel, Hear Our Prayers
Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 77 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Heal us, Emmanuel, hear our prayer;
we wait to feel thy touch;
deep-wounded souls to thee repair,
and, Savior, we are such.
2 Our faith is feeble, we confess;
we faintly trust thy word;
but wilt thou pity us the less?
Be that far from thee, Lord!
3 Remember him who once applied
with trembling for relief;
"Lord, I believe," with tears he cried;
"O help my unbelief."
4 She, too, who touched thee in the press,
and healing virtue stole,
was answered, "Daughter, go in peace:
thy faith hath made thee whole."
5 Like her, with hopes and fears we come
to touch thee if we may;
O send us not despairing home;
send none unhealed away. Scripture: Matthew 9:21 Used With Tune: WIGTON
