The Lord Has Heard and Answered Prayer

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Israel in Captivity Lyrics: 1 The Lord has heard and answered prayer And saved His people in distress; This to the coming age declare, That they His holy Name may bless. 2 The Lord, exalted on His throne, Looked down from heaven with pitying eye To still the lowly captive’s moan And save His people doomed to die. 3 All men in Zion shall declare His gracious Name with one accord, When kings and nations gather there To serve and worship God the Lord. 4 Before my journey is complete My vigor fails, my years decline; My God, O spare me, I entreat; The days of life are wholly Thine. 5 Attend, O Lord, to my desire, O haste to answer when I pray, For grief consumes my strength like fire, My days as smoke pass swift away. 6 O cut not short my life's brief day, O Thou whose years eternal run, Thou who didst earth's foundations lay, Creator of the stars and sun. 7 The earth and heavens shall pass away, Like vesture worn and laid aside, But changeless Thou shalt live for aye, Thy years forever shall abide. 8 Thou, O Jehovah, shalt endure, Thy throne forever is the same; And to all generations sure Shall be Thy great memorial Name. 9 Thy servants’ children shall remain Forevermore before Thy face; Enduring honor they shall gain, Established ever in Thy grace. Scripture: Psalm 102 Used With Tune: REST

Fools in Their Heart Have Said

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Israel in Captivity Lyrics: 1 Fools in their heart have said, There is no God of might; Corrupt are they and base their deeds, In evil they delight. 2 God looked from heaven above On all the human race, To see if any understood, If any sought His face. 3 They all are gone aside, Corruption doth abound; There is not one that doeth good, Not even one is found. 4 These men of evil deeds, Will they no knowledge gain, Who feed upon my people's woes, And prayer to God disdain? 5 The day is drawing nigh When they shall fear and quail, For God shall scatter and destroy Those who His saints assail. 6 Yea, God will put to shame And make them flee away, For He will cast them off in wrath And fill them with dismay. 7 O would that Israel's help Were out of Zion come! O would that God might early bring His captive people home! 8 When God from distant lands His exiled ones shall bring, His people shall exultant be, And gladly they shall sing. Scripture: Psalm 53 Used With Tune: BADEA
