Petitions for Deliverance

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Anger of God Invoked First Line: In full assurance of Thy grace Lyrics: 1 In full assurance of Thy grace To thee my prayer ascend; In Thy abounding love and truth, O God, salvation send. 2 Preserve my sinking soul, I pray, From tides of hatred save; Let not the waters overflow, Redeem me from the grave. 3 Because Thy mercy, Lord, is good, O answer me in grace, And in the riches of Thy love O turn to me Thy face. 4 Hide not Thy face from my distress, A speedy answer send; Draw near to me, my soul redeem, From all my foes defend. 5 Well known to Thee is my reproach, My shame and my disgrace; The adversaries of my soul Are all before Thy face. 6 My heart is broken by reproach, My soul is full of grief; I looked in vain for comforters, For pity and relief. 7 They gave me bitter gall for food, And taunting words they spake; They gave me vinegar to drink, My burning thirst to slake. 8 Their peace and plenty be their snare, In blindness let them grope; Thy indignation on them pour, And desolate their hope. 9 Because they proudly persecute Those whom Thou, Lord, dost smite, Let them be blotted from Thy book And banished from Thy sight. Scripture: Psalm 69 Used With Tune: ST. FLAVIAN

The Cry of the Mortal

Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: Anger of God Deprecated; Anger of God Fearful; Anger of God Righteous First Line: Lord, thro' all the generations Lyrics: 1 Lord, thro' all the generations Of the children of our race, In our fears and tribulations, Thou hast been our dwelling-place. Ere the vast and wide creation By Thy word was cased to be, Or the mountains held their station, Thou art God eternally. 2 Each succeeding generation At Thy mighty word appears; Thou dost count in time's duration One day as a thousand years. Death, with swift and sudden warning, Calls us from life's dream away, Like the grass, green in the morning, Withered ere the close of day. 3 In Thy wrath our spirits languish, Sinful 'neath Thy searching eye; All our days are passed in anguish, In Thy wrath we pine and id. Threescore years and ten we tarry, Fourscore years the strong may stay, Long the load of grief to carry, Till at last we fly away. 4 Who can weigh Thy just displeasure, Who can fear Thee as he ought? Teach us now our days to measure And to wisdom turn our thought. Lord, return, regard our sadness; with Thy servants now abide; Fill our days with joy and gladness, With Thy mercy satisfied. 5 Long the clouds of evil lower; Bless us now with gladsome days; Let Thy servants see Thy power, Let their children learn Thy praise. On us let the grace and beauty Of the Lord our God remain, Strengthen us for noble duty That our work be not in vain. Scripture: Psalm 90 Used With Tune: ARMSTRONG

Defeat and Triumphant Hope

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Anger of God Deprecated First Line: O God, Thou hast rejected us Lyrics: 1 O God, Thou hast rejected us, And hast afflicted sore; Thou hast been angry, but in grace O once again restore. 2 Lo, Thou hast torn and rent our land, Thy judgments dread appall; O hear her shattered strength before She totter to her fall. 3 Through ways of trial and distress Thy people Thou hast led. A bitter cup Thou givest us Of misery and dread. 4 A glorious banner Thou hast giv'n To those who fear Thy Name, A banner to display abroad, And thus the truth proclaim. 5 That Thy beloved may be saved And from their foes set free, Help with the might of Thy right hand, In mercy answer me. 6 God in His holiness hath said: I will triumphant be, All heathen lands I claim as Mine, And they shall bow to Me. 7 Now, therefore, who will lead us on Sin's strongholds to possess? No longer cast us off, O God, But give our hosts success. 8 Give Thou Thy help against the foe, For help of man is vain; Through God we shall do valiantly, The victory He shall gain. Scripture: Psalm 60 Used With Tune: FARRANT

Praise and Confession

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Anger of God Righteous First Line: Praise ye the Lord, for He is good Lyrics: 1 Praise ye the Lord, for He is good; Give thanks and bless His Name; His loving-kindness changes not, From age to age the same. 2 What tongue can tell His mighty deeds, His wondrous works and ways? O who can show His glory forth, Or utter all His praise? 3 The Lord will bless and prosper those, Yea, blest indeed are they, Whose ways are just, who constantly His righteous law obey. 4 O Lord, remember me in grace, Let me salvation see; The grace Thou showest to Thy saints, That grace reveal to me. 5 Let me behold Thy people's good And in their joy rejoice; With Thy triumphant heritage Let me lift up my voice. 6 In evil we have gone astray, And sinful is our race; Rebelliously our fathers walked, Forgetful of Thy grace. 7 Though they rebelled, yet for their help In saving strength he came To make His power almighty known And glorify His Name. 8 He brought them safely through the sea And overwhelmed their foes; Their faith was stirred, and for the time Their songs of praise arose. 9 Forgetful soon, they tempted God, Nor for His counsel cared; He sent them leanness in their souls, Whilst they earth's bounties shared. 10 With envy they regarded those Whom God to them had sent; The opening earth, the kindling flame, Brought awful punishment. 11 A golden image they adored, And worshiped at its shrine; Thus they despised the living God And scorned His love divine. Scripture: Psalm 106 Used With Tune: BARKE
