I Thought upon the Days of Old

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Backsliding Lyrics: 1 I thought upon the days of old, The years departed long, I held communion with my heart, By night recalled my song. 2 My heart inquired with anxious care, Will God forever spurn? Shall we no more His favor see? Will mercy ne'er return? 3 Forever shall His promise fail? Has God forgotten grace? Has He withdrawn His tender love, In anger hid His face? 4 These doubts are my infirmity, My thoughts at once reply; I call back years of God's right hand, The years of God Most High. 5 I will commemorate, O Lord, Thy wondrous deeds of old, And meditate upon Thy works Of power and grace untold. 6 O God, most holy is Thy way, Most perfect, good, and right; Thou art the only living God, The God of wondrous might. Scripture: Psalm 77 Used With Tune: SAXONY

To God Will I Direct My Prayer

Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Backsliding Lyrics: 1 To God will I direct my prayer, And He will make my needs His care; I trust Him still, though in my grief No answer yet has brought relief; With hands stretched out through all the night, Uncomforted I sought for light. 2 The thought of God brought me no peace, But rather made my fears increase; With sleepless eyes and speechless pain My fainting spirit grieved in vain; The blessedness of long ago Made deeper still my present woe. 3 Recalling days when faith was bright, When songs of gladness filled my night, I pondered o'er my grievous woes And searching questioning arose: Will God cast off, and nevermore His favor to my soul restore? 4 I asked in fear and bitterness: Will God forsake me in distress? Shall I His promise faithless find? Has God forgotten to be kind? Has He in anger hopelessly Removed His love and grace from me? 5 These doubts and fears that troubled me Were born of my infirmity; Though I am weak, God is most high, And on His goodness I rely; Of all His wonders I will tell, And on His deeds my thoughts shall dwell. Scripture: Psalm 77 Used With Tune: FILLMORE
