In Grief and Fear, to Thee, O Lord
Author: William Bullock, 1798-1874 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 31 hymnals Lyrics: 1. In grief and fear, to Thee, O Lord,
We now for succor fly,
Thine awful judgments are abroad,
O shield us, lest we die!
2. The fell disease on every side
Walks forth with tainted breath;
And pestilence, with rapid stride,
Bestrews the land with death.
3. O look with pity on the scene
Of sadness and of dread,
And let Thine angel stand between
The living and the dead!
4. With contrite hearts to Thee, our king
We turn, who oft have strayed;
Accept the sacrifice we bring,
And let the plague be stayed. Used With Tune: WINDSOR

When rising from the bed of death
Author: Joseph Addison Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 260 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When rising from the bed of death,
O’erwhelmed with guilt and fear,
I see my Maker face to face,
O how shall I appear?
2 If yet, while pardon may be found,
And mercy may be sought,
My heart with inward horror shrinks,
And trembles at the thought:
3 When Thou, O Lord, shalt stand disclosed
In majesty severe,
And sit in judgment on my soul,
O how shall I appear?
4 But Thou hast told the troubled mind,
Who does her sins lament,
Of Him who suffered unto death,
Her sufferings to prevent.
5 Then never shall my soul despair
Her pardon to procure,
Who knows Thine only Son has died
to make her pardon sure. Topics: Death and Eternity Judgment; Twentieth Sunday after Trinity Used With Tune: WINDSOR

Come, Lord In Mercy Come Again
Author: Nathaniel Colver Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 25 hymnals First Line: Come, Lord, in mercy come again Lyrics: 1 Come, Lord, in mercy come again,
With Thy converting power;
The fields of Zion thirst for rain,
O send a gracious shower!
2 Our hearts are filled with sore distress,
While sinners all around
Are pressing on to endless death,
And no relief is found.
3 Dear Savior, come with quickening power,
Thy mourning people cry;
Salvation bring in mercy’s hour,
Nor let the sinner die.
4 Once more let converts throng Thy house,
And shouts of victory raise;
Then shall our griefs be turned to joy,
And sighs to songs of praise. Used With Tune: WINDSOR

Why Has My God My Soul Forsook?
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 19 hymnals First Line: Why has my God my soul forsook Lyrics: 1. Why has my God my soul forsook,
Nor will a smile afford?
Thus David once in anguish spoke,
And thus our dying Lord.
2. Though ’tis Thy chief delight to dwell
Among Thy praising saints,
Yet Thou canst hear a groan as well,
And pity our complaints.
3. Our fathers trusted in Thy name,
And great deliverance found;
But I’m a worm, despised of men,
And trodden to the ground.
4. Shaking the head, they pass me by,
And laugh my soul to scorn;
In vain he trusts in God, they cry,
Neglected and forlorn.
5. But Thou art He who formed my flesh
By Thine almighty Word;
And since I hung upon the breast,
My hope is in the Lord.
6. Why will my Father hide His face,
When foes stand threatening round,
In the dark hour of deep distress,
And not a helper found?
7. Behold Thy darling left among
The cruel and the proud,
As bulls of Bashan, fierce and strong,
As lions roaring loud.
8. From earth and hell My sorrows meet
To multiply the smart;
They nail My hands, they pierce My feet,
And try to vex My heart.
9. Yet if Thy sovereign hand let loose
The rage of earth and hell,
Why will my heav’nly Father bruise
The Son He loves so well?
10. My God, if possible it be,
Withhold this bitter cup
But I resign my will to Thee,
And drink the sorrows up.
11. My heart dissolves with pangs unknown,
In groans I waste my breath;
Thy heavy hand has brought Me down
Low as the dust of death.
12. Father, I give My Spirit up,
And trust it in Thy hand;
My dying flesh shall rest in hope,
And rise at Thy command. Used With Tune: WINDSOR Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719
Why Has My God My Soul Forsook?
To Mock Your Reign
Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 15 hymnals First Line: To mock your reign, O dearest Lord Lyrics: 1 To mock your reign, O dearest Lord,
they made a crown of thorns,
set you with taunts along that road
from which no one returns.
They could not know, as we do now,
how glorious is that crown,
that thorns would flow'r upon your brow,
your sorrows heal our own.
2 In mock acclaim, O gracious Lord,
they snatched a purple cloak,
your passion turned, for all they cared,
into a soldier's joke.
They could not know, as we do now,
that though we merit blame,
you will your robe of mercy throw
around our naked shame.
3 A sceptered reed, O patient Lord,
they thrust into your hand,
and acted out their grim charade
to its appointed end.
They could not know, as we do now,
though empires rise and fall,
your kingdom shall not cease to grow
till love embraces all.

Out of the depths to Thee I cry
Author: Mrs. E. E. Marcy, 1822- Appears in 20 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Out of the depths to Thee I cry,
Whose fainting footsteps trod
The paths of our humanity,
Incarnate Son of God!
2 Thou Man of grief, who once apart
Didst all our sorrows bear,
The trembling hand, the fainting heart,
The agony, and prayer!
3 This is the consecrated dower
Thy chosen ones obtain,
To know Thy resurrection power
Through fellowship of pain.
4 Then, O my soul, in silence wait!
Faint not, O faltering feet!
Press onward to that blest estate,
In righteousness complete.
5 Let faith transcend the passing hour,
The transient pain and strife;
Upraised by an immortal power,
The power of endless life.
