As Thirsts the Hart for Water Brooks

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #81 (1934) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Persecution Of Believers Lyrics: 1 As thirsts the hart for water brooks, So thirsts my soul, O God, for Thee; It seeks for God, and ever looks And longs the living God to see, And longs the living God to see. 2 Far from the courts of God, my tears Have been my food by night and day, While constantly with bitter sneers, Where is thy God? the scoffers say, Where is thy God? the scoffers say. 3 With grief I think of days gone by, when oft I trod the hallowed way To Zion, praising God on high With throngs who kept the holy day, With throngs who kept the holy day. 4 O why art thou cast down, my soul, And why so troubled shouldst thou be? Hope thou in God, and Him extol, Who gives His saving help to me, Who gives His saving help to me. 5 Since, O my God, my soul is bowed, In exile far, with bitter grief, I turn my thoughts to Thy abode For consolation and relief, For consolation and relief. 6 With mighty voice deep calls to deep, While raging storms Thy judgments tell; The angry billows o'er me leap, The waves of sorrow near me swell, The waves of sorrow near me swell. 7 Thought troubles surge, yet through the day The Lord His gracious help will give, And in the night my heart shall pray And sing to Him in Whom I live, And sing to Him in Whom I live. 8 To God my rock I cry and say: O why hast Thou forgotten me? Why go I mourning on my way, Oppressed by foes that know not Thee? Oppressed by foes that know not Thee? 9 With anguish as from piercing sword Reproach of bitter foes I hear, While day by day, with taunting word, Where is thy God? the scoffers sneer, Where is thy God? the scoffers sneer. 10 O why art thou cast down, my soul, And why so troubled shouldst thou be? Hope thou in God, and Him extol, Who gives His saving help to me, Who gives His saving help to me. Scripture: Psalm 42 Languages: English Tune Title: BACA

O God, Be Merciful

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #110 (1934) Meter: 6.6.6.6 D Topics: Persecution Of Believers Lyrics: 1 O God, be merciful, Be merciful to me, For man, with constant hate, Would fain my ruin see. My many enemies Against me proudly fight; To overwhelm my soul They watch from morn to night. 2 What time I am afraid I put my trust in Thee; In God I rest, and praise His word, so rich and free. In God I put my trust, I neither doubt nor fear, For man can never harm, With God my Helper near. 3 All day they wrest my words, Their thoughts are full of hate; They meet, they lurk, they watch, As for my soul they wait. Shall they be wickedness Escape Thy judgment right? O God of righteousness, Destroy them in Thy might. 4 Thou knowest all my woes, O treasure Thou my tears; Are thy not in Thy book, Where all my life appears? My foes shall backward turn When I appeal to Thee, For this I surely know, That God is still for me. Scripture: Psalm 56 Languages: English Tune Title: INVITATION

In Thy Heritage the Heathen

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #160 (1934) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Persecution Of Believers Lyrics: 1 In Thy heritage the heathen Now, O God, triumphant stand; They defile Thy holy temple, They destroy Thy chosen land; Ruthless, they have slain Thy servants, They have caused Thy saints to mourn; In the sight of all about us We endure reproach and scorn. 2 O how long against Thy people Shall Thy anger burn, O Lord? On Thy enemies, the heathen, Be Thy indignation poured; Smite the kingdoms that defy Thee, Calling not upon Thy Name; They have long devoured Thy people And have swept Thy land with flame. 3 O remember not against us Evil by our fathers wrought; Haste to help us in Thy mercy, Near to ruin we are brought; Help us, God of our salvation, For the glory of Thy Name; For Thy Name's sake come and save us, Take away our sin and shame. 4 Let Thy foes no longer scorn Thee, Now avenge Thy servants slain; Loose the prisoner, save the dying, All Thy enemies restrain; Then Thy flock, Thy chosen people, Unto Thee Thy thanks shall raise, And to every generation We will sing Thy glorious praise.
