Travelling in Birth for Souls

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CCCVI (1791) Topics: Spiritual Poverty First Line: What contradictions meet Lyrics: 1 What contradictions meet In Ministers Employ! It is a bitter Sweet A Sorrow full of Joy: No other Post affords a Place For equal Honour, or Disgrace! 2 Who can describe the Pain Which faithful Preachers feel; Constrain'd to speak, in vain, To Hearts as hard as Steel? Or who can tell the Pleasures felt, When stubborn Hearts begin to melt? 3 The Saviour's dying Love, The Soul's amazing Worth, Their utmost Efforts move, And draw their bowels forth: They pray and Strive, their Rest departs, Till Christ be form'd in Sinners Hearts. 4 If some small Hope appear, They still are not content; But with a jealous Fear, They watch for the Event; Too oft they find their Hopes deceiv'd, Then, how their inmost Souls are griev'd! 5 But when their Pain succeed, And from the tender Blade The rip'ning Ears proceed, Their Toils are overpaid: No harvest Joy can equal theirs, To find the Fruit of all their Cares. 6 On what has now been sown Thy Blessing, Lord bestow; The Pow'r is thine alone, To make it spring and grow; Do thou the gracious Harvest raise, And thou, alone, shalt have the Praise.

Wholehearted Thanksgiving to You I Will Bring

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Gray) #9 (1987) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Topics: Poverty Lyrics: 1 Wholehearted thanksgiving to you I will bring; in praise of your marvelous works I will sing. For joy I will shout and exultingly cry in praise of your name, LORD my God, O Most High. 2 My foes were turned backward in utter despair; they stumbled and perished because you were there. For you have defended my right and my cause; you sat in just judgment, upholding your laws. 3 You chided the nations, the wicked destroyed; their names you erased and forever made void. The foe is consumed and completely disgraced, their cities uprooted, their memory erased. 4 The LORD will eternally sit on his throne, establishing it for his judgment alone. He righteously judges the world with his might; all peoples will know that his judgment is right. 5 The LORD is a stronghold, a bulwark, a tower, for all the oppressed in their dark troubled hour. Those knowing your name, LORD, trust you for your grace; you have not forsaken those seeking your face. 6 Sing praise to the LORD, who in Zion does dwell; among all the peoples his mighty deeds tell. The cry of the poor never fades from his ear; their blood he avenges; he always will hear. 7 LORD, see what I suffer from malice and hate. Have mercy! O lift me away from death's gate, that I with the Daughter of Zion may voice your praises, and in your salvation rejoice. 8 The nations are sunk in the pit they prepared; their feet in the net which they hid are ensnared. The LORD by his judgment has made himself known, and by their own works are the wicked o'erthrown. 9 The wicked shall perish in death's dark abode, with all of the lands who are heedless of God. No longer forget the just cause of the weak, nor banish forever the hope of the meek. 10 Arise, LORD, let sinners not think themselves strong; let peoples be judged in your presence for wrong. Strike terror within them, O LORD; make them see that nations, though pompous, must still bend the knee. Scripture: Psalm 9 Languages: English Tune Title: WALTHER

Sing Praise to God, Whose Mighty Acts

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b. 1944 Hymnal: Psalms for All Seasons #9B (2012) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Poverty Lyrics: 1 Sing praise to God, whose mighty acts still strong in memory stand to give us hope when evil seems to gain the upper hand. Give thanks for deeds of steadfast love, for wonders new and old: for fire and cloud, for daily food, for mercies yet untold. 2 Though monuments of evil rise in marble, gilt, and stone, time’s search will find their boasts untrue, their makers’ names unknown. Mute avenues of ruins will mark where once proud cities stood, but from destruction God will save the faithful, just, and good. 3 Rise up, O God, reclaim the power usurped by mortal pride, deflate the hollow pomp of those whom rank and titles hide. Let not the needy cry unheard, the suffering hope in vain; restore the fallen, bless the meek, till peace and justice reign. Scripture: Psalm 9 Tune Title: SALVATION

Why Do You Stand So Far Away, O LORD?

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Gray) #10 (1987) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: Poverty Lyrics: 1 Why do you stand so far away, O LORD? Why do you hide yourself in troubled times? In arrogance the wicked trap the poor; they catch the weak in schemes they have devised. 2 The wicked boast about their hearts' desires; the covetous renounce and spurn the LORD. In pride they see no need to seek for aid; in all their thoughts they say, "There is no God." 3 They prosper and in pride ignore your law; at all their foes they only puff in scorn. Within their hearts they think, "I am secure; throughout my life my happiness is sure." 4 Their mouths are filled with oaths and lies and threats; beneath their tongues are evil thoughts and deeds. They lie in ambush near the village street; the innocent they murder and defeat. 5 The helpless one is crushed and trampled down; another victim falls beneath their might. At heart they think, "God has forgotten this; he hides his face, so he will never see." 6 Arise, O LORD, lift up your hand, O God! Do not forget the helpless and the poor. Why do the wicked proudly scoff at God and say, "He will not call me to account"? 7 O God, you note injustice and distress that you may take it all into your hands. The helpless ones commit themselves to you, for you give help to orphans and the poor. 8 O break the wicked evildoers' arm! Seek out the secret sin they try to hide. The LORD is King through all eternity; all sinful ones will perish from his land. 9 LORD, you will hear the longing of the meek; strengthen their hearts, incline your ear to them. You will defend the orphan and the poor that evil ones may terrify no more. Scripture: Psalm 10 Languages: English Tune Title: FLENTGE
