Our Only Saviour

Hymnal: The Psalter #387 (1912) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Afflictions Prayer in First Line: To God, my earnest voice I raise Lyrics: 1 To God my earnest voice I raise, To God my voice imploring prays; Before His face my grief I show And tell my trouble and my woe. 2 When gloom and sorrow compass me, The path I take is known to Thee, And all the toils that foes do lay To snare Thy servant in his way. 3 All unprotected, lo, I stand, No friendly guardian at my hand, No place of flight or refuge near, And none to whom my soul is dear. 4 O Lord, my Saviour, now to Thee, Without a hope besides, I flee, To Thee, my shelter from the strife, My portion in the land of life. 5 Be Thou my help when troubles throng, For I am weak and foes are strong; My captive soul from prison bring, And thankful praises I will sing. 6 The righteous then shall gather round To share the blessing I have found, Their hearts made glad because they see How richly God has dealt with me.

God Guards the Good with Watchful Eye

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #66 (1934) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Prayer in Afflictions Lyrics: 1 God guards the good with watchful eye, His ear attentive to their cry; Against the wicked sets His face, From earth their memory to erase. 2 The righteous cry, Jehovah hears, And rescues them from all their fears; The Lord draws nigh to broken hearts, To contrite spirits help imparts. 3 Afflictions on the good must fall, But God will bring them safe through all; From harmful stroke He will defend, And sure and full deliverance send. 4 By evil are the evil slain, The hope of sinful men is vain; The wicked, who the righteous hate, Their condemnation shall be great. 5 The Lord redemption will provide For all who in His grace confide; From condemnation they are clear Who trust in Him with holy fear.

Here speaks the Comforter, in mercy saying, “Earth has no sorrows that heaven cannot cure.” 3 Here see the Bread of Life; see waters flowing Forth from the throne of God, pure from above. Come to the feast prepared; come, ever knowing Earth has no sorrows but heaven can remove. Languages: English Tune Title: ALMA (CONSOLATION)

Lord, Hear My Prayer, and Let My Cry

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #209 (1934) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Topics: Prayer in Afflictions Lyrics: 1 Lord, hear my prayer, and let my cry Have ready access unto Thee; When in distress to Thee I fly, O hide not Thou Thy face from me. 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. 2 My heart is withered like the grass, And I forget my daily bread; In lonely grief my days I pass And sad my thoughts upon my bed. My foes reproach me all the day, My drink is tears, my bread is grief, For in Thy wrath I pine away, My days are like a fading leaf. 3 But Thou, Jehovah, shalt endure, Thy throne forever is the same; And to all generations sure Shall be Thy great memorial Name. The time for Zion’s help is near, The time appointed in Thy love; O let Thy gracious aid appear, Look Thou in mercy from above. 4 O Lord, regard the prayer of those Who love the walls of Zion well, Whose hearts are heavy for her woes, Who sad amid her ruins dwell. Thy power and glory shall appear, And Zion’s walls shall be restored; Then all the kings of earth shall fear And heathen nations serve the Lord. 5 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. 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.

To God Will I Direct My Prayer

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #153 (1934) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: Prayer in Afflictions Lyrics: 1 To God will I direct my prayer, And He will make my needs His care; I trust Him still, though in my grief No answer yet has brought relief; With hands stretched out through all the night, Uncomforted I sought for light. 2 The thought of God brought me no peace, But rather made my fears increase; With sleepless eyes and speechless pain My fainting spirit grieved in vain; The blessedness of long ago Made deeper still my present woe. 3 Recalling days when faith was bright, When songs of gladness filled my night, I pondered o'er my grievous woes And searching questioning arose: Will God cast off, and nevermore His favor to my soul restore? 4 I asked in fear and bitterness: Will God forsake me in distress? Shall I His promise faithless find? Has God forgotten to be kind? Has He in anger hopelessly Removed His love and grace from me? 5 These doubts and fears that troubled me Were born of my infirmity; Though I am weak, God is most high, And on His goodness I rely; Of all His wonders I will tell, And on His deeds my thoughts shall dwell.
