Auf den tiefen Wassern

Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: O ew'ger Vater, Deine Hand Used With Tune: [O ew'ger Vater, Deine Hand]

Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Enthroned amid the seraphim, Where countless roll the wheels of time, Celestial light, almighty power! Burst forth in this afflictive hour! Effulgent, shine upon our race! Thy ancient mercies, Lord, retrace! 2 From superstition’s dark domain, From persecution’s cruel reign, When erst a tender vine was brought, With joys exuberantly fraught; In regions wrapped in destiny, It rose and bloomed, a lovely tree! 3 Its shade the mountains overspread; Its root, by bubbling fountains fed, Nor drought, nor desert, could arrest; Its branches filled the farthest west: Beside a thousand flowery banks, Its clusters swelled in glowing ranks. 4 Now torn and prostrate its defense, Despoiled of its magnificence, The savage hunter treads it down; It fades beneath a tyrant’s frown; The sword destroys, the fire devours, The Deity in darkness lours! 5 Ah! why deserted of our God? His vineyard, why a field of blood? Return, O God of hosts, return! Thy ravaged, slaughtered church discern! Behold, and victory impart! Thine, ever Thine, shall be our heart! Scripture: Psalm 80 Used With Tune: MELITA Text Sources: The Psalms, Newly Paraphrased for the Service of the Sanctuary by Joseph P. Bartrum (Boston: Russell, Osborne & Company, 1833)

Lord, I Deserve Thy Deepest Wrath

Author: Basil Manly, Jr. Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Lord, I deserve thy deepest wrath, Ungrateful, faithless I have been; No terrors have my soul deterred, Nor goodness wooed me from my sin. No terrors have my soul deterred, Nor goodness wooed me from my sin. 2. My heart is vile, my mind depraved, My flesh rebels against Thy will; I am polluted in Thy sight, Yet, Lord have mercy on me still! I am polluted in Thy sight, Yet, Lord have mercy on me still! 3. Without defense to Thee I look, To Thee the only Savior fly; Without a hope, without a friend, In deep distress to Thee I cry, Without a hope, without a friend, In deep distress to Thee I cry. 4. Speak peace to me, my sins forgive, Dwell Thou within my heart, O God, The guilt and pow’r of sin remove, And fit me for Thy blest abode, The guilt and pow’r of sin remove, And fit me for Thy blest abode.

Hear, O My People, I Will Speak

Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Hear, O My people, I will speak, against thee I will testify; give ear to Me, O Israel, for God, thy cov'nant God, am I; I do not spurn thy sacrifice, thy off'rings are before My eyes. 2 I will receive from out thy fold no off'ring for My holy shrine; the cattle on a thousand hills and all the forest beasts are Mine; each mountain bird to Me is known, whatever roams the field I own. 3 Behold, if I should hungry grow, I would not tell My need to thee, for all the world itself is Mine. And all its wealth belongs to Me; why should I aught of thee receive, My thirst or hunger to relieve? 4 Bring thou to God the gift of thanks, and pay thy vows to God Most High; call ye upon My holy Name in days when sore distress in nigh; deliv'rance I will send to thee, and praises thou shalt give to Me. 5 Thus speaks the Lord to wicked men: My statutes why do ye declare? Why take My covenant in your mouth, since ye for wisdom do not care? For ye My holy words profane and cast them from you in disdain. 6 Ye have consented with the thief, ye have partaken with the vile, your mouths to evil words ye give your tongue proclaim deceit and guile, ye glory in your brother's shame, your mother's son do ye defame. 7 Thus have ye done; I silence kept, and this has been your secret thought, that I was wholly as yourselves, to take your evil deeds as nought; I will reprove you and array your deeds before your eyes this day. 8 Consider this, who God forget, lest I destroy with none to free; who offers sacrifice of thanks, he glorifies and honors Me; to him who orders well his way salvation free I will display.
