Christ Our Refuge and Portion

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Despondency First Line: To Thee, O Lord, I hymbly cry Lyrics: 1 To thee, O Lord, I humbly cry, To Thee my supplication make, To Thee I bring my sad complaint, To thee my bitter grief I take. 2 Thou knowest, Lord, my deep distress, The lonely path, the hidden snare, How refuge faileth, friends forsake, And no man for my soul doth care. 3 My prayer is unto Thee, o Lord, No refuge but in Thee I know, No portion but in Thee I find; Lord, in my need Thy mercy show. 4 Be Thou my Saviour, O my Lord, For I am weak and foes are strong; My captive soul from prison bring, And glad shall be my thankful song. 5 Around me shall the righteous throng, And crowned with joy Thy saints shall be, Their hearts made glad because the Lord In richest grace hath dealt with me.

"Looking unto Jesus'

Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Hope Under Despondency; Hope Under Despondency First Line: Look to Jesus! till, reviving Lyrics: 1 Look to Jesus! till, reviving, Faith and love thy life-springs swell, Strength for all good things deriving; Jesus hath done all things well. Work, while it is called to-day, Works which shall not fade away. 2 Look to Jesus, prayerful waking Where thy feet on roses tread; Follow, worldly pomp forsaking, With thy cross, where he hath led. Baffled shall the tempter flee, And God's angels come to thee. 3 Look to Jesus, when, dark lowering, Perils thy horizon dim; Once from him a band fell cowering; Calm in tempests, look on him; Wind and billow, fire and flood, Forward! brave by trusting God. 4 Look to Jesus still to shield thee, When no longer thou may'st live; In that last need, he will yield thee Peace the world can never give; He who finished all for thee Takes thee, then, with him to be.

Questionings and Comfort

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Despondency First Line: To God will I direct my prayer 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; Tho' 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 tho'ts shall dwell.
