The pow'r of interceding grace Give us in faith to claim; To wrestle till we see thy face, And know thy hidden name. Till then thy perfect love impart; Till thou appear below Be this the cry of ev'ry heart, "I will not let thee go." 3. I will not let thee go, unless Thou tell thy name to me; With all thy great salvation bless, And make me all like thee. Then shall I on the mountain-top Behold thy open face, Where faith in sight is swallowed up, And prayer in joyful praise. Used With Tune: PERSEVERANCE

Lord, Hear Me in Distress

Appears in 11 hymnals Topics: Waiting upon God Refrain First Line: 6 6 6 6 D. Lyrics: 1 Lord, hear me in distress, Regard my suppliant cry, And in Thy faithfulness And righteousness reply. In judgment do not cause Thy servant to be tried; Before Thy holy laws No man is justified. 2 The enemy has sought My soul in dust to tread; To darkness I am brought, Forgotten as the dead. My spirit, crushed with grief, Is sad and overborne; My heart finds no relief, But desolate I mourn. 3 Recalling former days And all Thy wondrous deeds, The memory of Thy ways To hope and comfort leads. to Thee I stretch my hands, Let me not plead in vain; I wait as weary lands Wait for refreshing rain. 4 My failing spirit see, O Lord, to me make haste; Hide not Thy face from me, Lest bitter death I taste, O let the morn return, Let mercy light my day; For Thee in faith I yearn, O guide me in the way. 5 Lord, save me from my foe, To Thee for help I flee; Teach me Thy way to know, I have no God but Thee. By Thy good Spirit lead From trouble and distress, My erring feet shall tread The path of uprightness. 6 O Lord, for Thy Name's sake Revive my fainting heart; My soul from trouble take, For just and true Thou art. Remove my enemy, My cruel foe reward; In mercy rescue me Who am Thy servant, Lord. Scripture: Psalm 143 Used With Tune: JEWETT

But grace and mercy dwell at thy right hand. 2 I wait for God, the Lord, and on his Word My hope relies; My soul still waits and looks unto the Lord Till light arise. I look for him to drive away my night, Yea, more than watchmen look for morning light. 3 Hope in the Lord, ye waiting saints, and he Will well provide; For mercy and redemption full and free With him abide. From sin and evil, mighty though they seem, His arm almighty will his saints redeem. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 130 Used With Tune: SANDON Text Sources: The Psalter,, 1912
