Dear Lord! Behold Our Sore Distress
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Dear Lord! behold our sore distress;
Our sins attempt to reign;
Stretch out Thine arm of conquering grace,
And let Thy foes be slain.
2 The lion with his dreadful roar
Affrights Thy feeble sheep:
Reveal the glory of Thy power,
And chain him to the deep.
3 Must we indulge a long despair?
Shall our petitions die?
Our mournings never reach Thine ear,
Nor tears affect Thine eye?
4 If Thou despise a mortal groan,
Yet hear a Savior’s blood;
An advocate so near the throne
Pleads and prevails with God.
5 He brought the Spirit’s powerful sword
To slay our deadly foes;
Our sins shall die beneath Thy Word,
And hell in vain oppose.
6 How boundless is our Father’s grace,
In height, and depth, and length!
He makes his Son our righteousness,
His Spirit is our strength. Used With Tune: BANGOR Text Sources: Hymns and Spiritual Songs, 1706-09, Book 2

How long will your forget me, Lord
Author: Christopher Idle, 1938- Appears in 8 hymnals First Line: How long will you forget me, Lord Lyrics: 1 How long will you forget me, Lord,
and hide your face away?
How long shall evils tear my heart
and troubles fill my day?
2 Look on my need, O Lord my God
who grants my every breath;
give light that I may see your light,
nor sleep the sleep of death.
3 Look on their threats and hear my cry,
and answer when I call,
or they will claim the victory
who long to see me fall.
4 But since I trust your constant love,
my heart is glad and free
to sing the praises of the lord
whose grace has rescued me. Topics: Discouragement / Despair; Doubt; God Love and Grace of; Lament; Light; Metrical Psalms; Music / Singing / Song; Trust Scripture: Psalm 13 Used With Tune: BANGOR

O Prophet Souls of All the Years
Author: Frederick Lucian Hosmer, 1840-1929 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O prophet souls of all the years,
speak yet to us in love;
your far-off vision, toil, and tears
to their fulfillment move.
2 From tropic clime and zones of frost
they come of every name;
this, this our day of Pentecost,
on us the tongues of flame.
3 One Life together we confess,
one all-in-dwelling Word,
one holy Call to righteousness
within the silence heard:
4 One Law that guides the shining spheres
as on through space they roll,
and speaks in flaming characters
on Sinais of the soul:
5 One Love, unfathomed, measureless,
an ever-flowing sea,
that holds within its vast embrace
time and eternity. Topics: Jewish and Christian Teachings Pentecost; Prophets Used With Tune: BANGOR

How David, When by Sin Deceived
Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1. How David, when by sin deceived,
From bad to worse went on!
For when the Holy Spirit’s grieved,
Our strength and guard are gone.
2. His eye on Bathsheba once fixed,
With poison filled his soul;
He ventured on adultery next,
And murder crowned the whole.
3. So from a spark of fire at first,
That has not been descried;
A dreadful flame has often burst,
And ravaged far and wide.
4. When sin deceives it hardens too,
For though he vainly fought
To hide his crimes from public view,
Of God he little thought.
5. He neither would, or could repent,
No true compunction felt;
’Till God in mercy Nathan sent,
His stubborn heart to melt.
6. The parable held forth a fact,
Designed his case to show;
But though the picture was exact,
Himself he did not know.
7. Thou art the man, the prophet said,
That word his slumber broke;
And when he owned his sin, and prayed,
The Lord forgiveness spoke.
8. Let those who think they stand, beware,
For David stood before;
Nor let the fallen soul despair,
For mercy can restore. Used With Tune: BANGOR Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London: W. Oliver, 1779), number 29

Yonder Amazing Sight I See
Author: Samuel Stennett Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 98 hymnals First Line: Yonder—amazing sight!—I see Lyrics: 1 Yonder—amazing sight!—I see
Th’incarnate Son of God,
Expiring on the accursèd tree,
And weltering in His blood.
2 Behold a purple torrent run
Down from His hands and head:
The crimson tide puts out the sun;
His groans awake the dead.
3 The trembling earth, the darkened sky,
Proclaim the truth aloud;
And with th’amazed centurion cry,
"This is the Son of God."
4 So great, so vast a sacrifice,
May well my hope revive:
If God’s own Son thus bleeds and dies,
The sinner sure may live.
5 O that these cords of love divine,
Might draw me, Lord to Thee,
Thou hast my heart, it shall be Thine—
Thine it shall ever be! Used With Tune: BANGOR Text Sources: John Rippon's Collection, 1787
