How Long, O Lord, Will You Forget
Author: Barbara Woollett Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 14 hymnals Topics: Evil Lyrics: 1 How long, O Lord, will you forget
an answer to my prayer?
No tokens of your love I see,
your face is turned away from me;
I wrestle with despair.
2 How long, O Lord, will you forsake
and leave me in this way?
When will you come to my relief?
My heart is overwhelmed with grief,
by evil night and day.
3 How long, O Lord? But you forgive
with mercy from above.
I find that all your ways are just,
I learn to praise you and to trust
in your unfailing love. Scripture: Psalm 13 Used With Tune: HOW LONG
How Long, O Lord, Will You Forget

Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Evil times; Evil times; Evil times; Evil times First Line: Almighty God, appear and save! Lyrics: 1 Almighty God, appear and save!
For vice and vanity prevail:
The godly perish in the grave,
The just depart, the faithful fail.
2 The whole discourse, when crouds are met,
Is fill'd with trifles loose and vain;
Their lips are flattery and deceit,
And their proud language is profane.
3 But lips that with deceit abound,
Shall not maintain their triumph long:
The God of vengeance will confound
The flattering and blaspheming tongue.
4 Yet shall our words be free, they cry,
Our tongues shall be controul'd by none:
Where is the Lord will ask us why?
Or say, our lips are not our own?
5 The Lord, who sees the poor opprest,
And hears th' oppressor's haughty strain,
Will rise to give his children rest,
Nor shall they trust his word in vain.
6 Thy word, O Lord, though often try'd,
Void of deceit shall still appear;
Not silver, seven times purify'd
From dross and mixture, shines so clear.
7 Thy grace shall in the darkest hour
Defend the from danger and surprise;
Tho' when the vilest men have power,
On every side oppressors rise. Scripture: Psalm 12

while within the cleft I hide.
Refrain:
Now I’m resting, sweetly resting,
in the cleft once made for me.

I will hide myself in thee.

weary, sad, I longed for rest.
Then I found this heav’nly shelter,
opened in my Savior’s breast. [Refrain]

joy the world can never give,
now in Jesus, I am finding;
in his smiles of love I live. [Refrain]

heeding not the fiercest blast. [Refrain]

rettest mich aus allen Ängsten,
tröstest mich und deckst mich zu. [Refrain]

denn bei dir ist sü-ße Ruh’;
mag es auch im Leben stürmen,

Warning to Magistrates
Appears in 54 hymnals Topics: Evil Magistrates; Evil Magistrates First Line: Judges, who rule the world by laws Lyrics: 1 Judges, who rule the world by laws,
Will ye despise the righteous cause,
While vile oppression wastes the land?
Dare ye condemn the righteous poor,
And let rich sinners 'scape secure,
While gold and greatness bribe your hand?
2 Have ye forgot, or never knew
That God will judge the judges too?
High in the heavens his justice reigns;
Yet you invade the rights of God;
And send your bold decrees abroad
To bind the conscience in your chains.
3 A poison'd arrow is your tongue,
The arrow sharp, the poison strong,
And death attends where e'er it wounds:
You hear no counsels, cries or tears;
So the deaf adder stops her ears!
Against the power of charming sounds.
4 Break out their teeth, eternal God,
Those teeth of lions dy'd in blood;
And crush the serpents in the dust:
As empty chaff when whirlwinds rise,
Before the sweeping tempest flies,
So let their hopes and names be lost.
5 Th' Almighty thunders from the sky,
Their grandeur melts, their titles die,
As hills of snow dissolve and run,
Or snails that perish in their slime,
Or births that come before their time,
Vain births that never see the sun.
6 Thus shall the vengeance of the Lord
Safety and joy to saints afford;
And all that hear shall join and say,
"Sure there's a God that rules on high,
"A God that hears his children cry,
"And will their sufferings well repay." Scripture: Psalm 58
Warning to Magistrates
We sing the praise of him who died
Author: Thomas Kelly, 1769-1855 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 194 hymnals Topics: Evil Lyrics: 1 We sing the praise of him who died,
of him who died upon the cross;
the sinners' hope though all deride:
for this we count the world but loss.
2 Inscribed upon the cross we see
in shining letters, 'God is love';
he bears our sins upon the tree;
he brings us mercy from above.
3 The cross - it takes our guilt away,
it holds the fainting spirit up,
it cheers with hope the gloomy day
and sweetens every bitter cup:
4 it makes the coward spirit brave
and nerves the feeble arm for fight;
it takes all terror from the grave
and gilds the bed of death with light:
5 the balm of life, the cure of woe,
the measure and the pledge of love,
the sinner's refuge here below,
the angels' theme in heaven above.
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 2:1-10 Used With Tune: BOW BRICKHILL
We sing the praise of him who died
