The Lord Has Heard and Answered Prayer

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Prayer in Afflictions 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.

I cannot call affliction sweet

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 34 hymnals Topics: Prayer in affliction Lyrics: I cannot call affliction sweet, And yet 'twas good to bear: Affliction brought me to Thy feet, And I found comfort there. My weanèd soul was all-resign'd To Thy most gracious will; Oh! had I kept that better mind, Or been afflicted still! Where are the vows which then I vow'd, The joys which then I knew? Those vanish'd, like the morning cloud, These like the early dew. 185 Lord, grant me grace for every day, Whate'er my state may be, Through life, in death, with truth to say, "My God is all to me!"
