To God My Earnest Voice I Raise
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 28 hymnals Topics: Benefit of afflictions; Help in Afflictions; Prayer in Afflictions Lyrics: 1 To God my earnest voice I raise,
To God my voice imploring prays;
Before His face my grief I show
And tell my trouble and my woe.
2 When gloom and sorrow compass me,
The path I take is known to Thee,
And all the toils that foes do lay
To snare Thy servant in his way.
3 All unprotected, lo, I stand,
No friendly guardian at my hand,
No place of flight or refuge near,
And none to whom my soul is dear.
4 O Lord, my Savior, now to Thee,
Without a hope besides, I flee,
To Thee, my shelter from the strife,
My portion in the land of life.
5 Be Thou my help when troubles throng,
For I am weak and foes are strong;
My captive soul from prison bring,
And thankful praises I will sing.
6 The righteous then shall gather round
To share the blessing I have found,
Their hearts made glad because they see
How richly God has dealt with me. Scripture: Psalm 142 Used With Tune: HAMBURG

Lord, Hear Me in Distress
Appears in 11 hymnals Topics: Prayer in Afflictions Refrain First Line: 6 6 6 6 D. Lyrics: 1 Lord, hear me in distress,
Regard my suppliant cry,
And in Thy faithfulness
And righteousness reply.
In judgment do not cause
Thy servant to be tried;
Before Thy holy laws
No man is justified.
2 The enemy has sought
My soul in dust to tread;
To darkness I am brought,
Forgotten as the dead.
My spirit, crushed with grief,
Is sad and overborne;
My heart finds no relief,
But desolate I mourn.
3 Recalling former days
And all Thy wondrous deeds,
The memory of Thy ways
To hope and comfort leads.
to Thee I stretch my hands,
Let me not plead in vain;
I wait as weary lands
Wait for refreshing rain.
4 My failing spirit see,
O Lord, to me make haste;
Hide not Thy face from me,
Lest bitter death I taste,
O let the morn return,
Let mercy light my day;
For Thee in faith I yearn,
O guide me in the way.
5 Lord, save me from my foe,
To Thee for help I flee;
Teach me Thy way to know,
I have no God but Thee.
By Thy good Spirit lead
From trouble and distress,
My erring feet shall tread
The path of uprightness.
6 O Lord, for Thy Name's sake
Revive my fainting heart;
My soul from trouble take,
For just and true Thou art.
Remove my enemy,
My cruel foe reward;
In mercy rescue me
Who am Thy servant, Lord. Scripture: Psalm 143 Used With Tune: JEWETT

Cariñoso Salvador
Author: Charles Wesley; T. M. Westrup Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 42 hymnals Topics: Affliction Lyrics: 1 Cariñoso Salvador,
huyo de la tempestad;
A tu seno protector,
fiándome de tu bondad.
Sálvame, Señor Jesús,
de las olas del turbión:
Hasta el puerto de salud
guía tú mi embarcación.
2 Otro asilo, ¿dónde hallar?
indefenso acudo a ti;
Sólo pude desmayar,
porque mi peligro vi.
Solamente tú, Señor,
puedes dar consuelo y luz;
Vengo lleno de temor
a los pies de mi Jesús.
3 Cristo, encuentro todo en ti,
y no necesito más;
Débil, me pusiste en pie;
triste, ánimo me das.
Al enfermo das salud;
guías tierno al que no ve;
Con amor y gratitud
tu bondad ensalzaré.
Amén. Scripture: Psalm 27 Used With Tune: ABERYSTWYTH

Lord, Rebuke Me Not in Anger
Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Help in Afflictions; Prayer in Afflictions Lyrics: 1 Lord, rebuke me not in anger;
Chastened sore I waste away;
Pity my distress and hear me;
Lord, how long wilt Thou delay?
2 Come, O Lord, my soul deliver,
In Thy loving-kindness save.
Shall the dead Thy Name remember?
Who shall praise Thee in the grave?
3 Pity, Lord, my sad condition;
I am weary and distressed.
Many adversaries vex me;
Weeping, I can find no rest.
4 Now the foes that seek to harm me,
Quickly put to shame, shall flee,
For the Lord hath heard my weeping,
And He will regard my plea. Scripture: Psalm 6 Used With Tune: ZENO

O Thou, in Whose Presence
Author: Joseph Swain, 1761-1796 Meter: 11.8.11.8 Appears in 497 hymnals Topics: Affliction First Line: O Thou, in whose presence my soul takes delight Lyrics: 1 O Thou, in whose presence my soul takes delight,
On whom in affliction I call,
My comfort by day and my song in the night,
My hope, my salvation, my all!
2 Where dost Thou, dear Shepherd, resort with Thy sheep,
To feed them in pastures of love?
Say, why in the valley of death should I weep,
Or alone in the wilderness rove?
3 Oh, why should I wander, an alien from Thee,
Or cry in the desert for bread?
Thy foes will rejoice when my sorrows they see,
And smile at the tears I have shed.
4 Restore, my dear Savior, the light of Thy face,
Thy soul-cheering comfort impart;
And let the sweet tokens of pardoning grace
Bring joy to my desolate heart.
5 He looks! and ten thousands of angels rejoice,
And myriads wait for His word.
He speaks! and eternity, filled with His voice,
Re-echoes the praise of the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 23:4 Used With Tune: DAVIS
O Thou, in Whose Presence
The Lord Our Dwelling-Place
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Afflictions For sin; Afflictions From God First Line: Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling-place Lyrics: 1 Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling place
Through all the ages of our race;
Before the mountains had their birth,
Or ever Thou hadst formed the earth,
From everlasting Thou art God,
To everlasting our abode.
2 At Thy command man fades and dies
And new-born generations rise;
A thousand years are passed away,
And all to Thee are but a day;
Yea, like the watches of the night,
With Thee the ages wing their flight.
3 Man soon yields up his fleeting breath
Before this swelling tide of death;
Like transient sleep his seasons pass,
His life is like the tender grass,
Luxuriant 'neath the morning sun,
And withered ere the day is done.
4 Man in Thy anger is consumed,
and unto grief and sorrow doomed;
Before Thy clear and searching sight
Our secret sins are brought to light;
Beneath Thy wrath we pine and die,
Our life expiring like a sigh.
5 For threescore years and ten we wait,
Or fourscore years if strength be great;
But grief and toil attend life's day,
And soon our spirits fly away;
O who with true and rev'rent though
Can fear Thy anger as he ought?
Scripture: Psalm 90 Used With Tune: ST. CATHERINE
The Lord Our Dwelling-Place

On bended knee;

Sought peace and rest;
Now thee alone I seek,--
Give what is best;
This all my prayer shall be,--
More love, O Christ, to thee,
More love to thee!

Send grief and pain;
Sweet are thy messengers,
Sweet their refrain,
When they can sing with me,
More love, O Christ, to thee,
More love to thee!

Whisper thy praise,
This be the parting cry
My heart shall praise;
This still its prayer shall be,--
More love, O Christ, to thee,
More love to thee! Scripture: 2 Peter 3:18 Used With Tune: MORE LOVE

A nearness to my God,

While leaning on his word.

Anew from day to day,
In joys the world can never give,
Nor ever take away.
3 Blest Jesus, come and rule my heart,
And make me wholly thine,
That I may never more depart,
Nor grieve thy love divine.

Thy goodness I'll adore;
And when my frame dissolves in death,
My soul shall love thee more. Scripture: Psalm 63:3 Used With Tune: EVAN
