Amen. Used With Tune: WER WEISS, WIE NAHE MIR MEIN ENDE

Let Israel say: The Lord be praised, His mercy ever is the same. Let Aaron's house now praise Jehovah; The Lord is good, O praise his Name; Let all that fear the Lord extol him, His mercy ever is the same. 2 In a large place the Lord hath set me, In my distress he heard my cry; I will not fear; the Lord is with me, What can man do, when God is nigh? The Lord is chief among my helpers; And I shall see my foes o'erthrown: Far better than in man or princes, My trust I place in God alone. 3 I shall not die, but live, declaring The works of God, who tried me sore, And chastened me; but in his mercy Not unto death hath giv'n me o'er. The gates of righteousness set open, The gate of God! I'll enter in To praise thee, Lord, who pray'r hast answered, And savedst me from all my sin. 4 The stone—O Lord, it is thy doing— The stone, the builders did despise, Is made the headstone of the corner, And it is marv'lous in our eyes. This is the day, of days most glorious, The Lord hath made; we'll joy and sing: Send now prosperity, we pray thee; And, O our God, salvation bring! Amen.

Hope thou in God, and Him extol, Who gives His saving help to me, Who gives His saving help to me. 5 Since, O my God, my soul is bowed, In exile far, with bitter grief, I turn my thoughts to Thy abode For consolation and relief, For consolation and relief. 6 With mighty voice deep calls to deep, While raging storms Thy judgments tell; The angry billows o'er me leap, The waves of sorrow near me swell, The waves of sorrow near me swell. 7 Thought troubles surge, yet through the day The Lord His gracious help will give, And in the night my heart shall pray And sing to Him in Whom I live, And sing to Him in Whom I live. 8 To God my Rock I cry and say, O why hast Thou forgotten me? Why go I mourning on my way, Oppressed by foes that know not Thee, Oppressed by foes that know not Thee? 9 With anguish as from piercing sword Reproach of bitter foes I hear, While day by day, with taunting word Where is thy God, the scoffers sneer, Where is thy God, the scoffers sneer. 10 O why art thou cast down, my soul, And why so troubled shouldst thou be? Hope thou in God, and Him extol, Who gives His saving help to me, Who gives His saving help to me. Scripture: Psalm 42 Used With Tune: BACA
