O God of righteousness, Destroy them in Thy might. 4 Thou knowest all my woes, O treasure Thou my tears; Are they not in thy book, Where all my life appears? My foes shall backward turn When i appeal to Thee, For man can never harm With God my helper near. 5 In God, the Lord, I rest, His word of grace I praise, His promise stands secure, Nor fear nor foe dismays; In God I put my trust, I neither doubt nor fear, For man can never harm With God my helper near. 6 Upon me are Thy voes, O God, in Whom I live; The sacrifice of praise To thee I now will give; For Thou hast saved from death, From falling kept me free, That in the light of life My walk may be with Thee.

Thy face forever wilt Thou hide? Thy face forever wilt Thou hide? 13 Think on my life; O Lord, take thought; Hast Thou created man for nought? What man that lives has power to save His soul from death, and from the grave? His soul from death, and from the grave? 14 Where are Thy mercies which of old Where in Thy promises foretold? Remember, Lord, the bitter shame Heaped on Thy own anointed's name, Heaped on Thy own anointed's name. 15 Blest be the Lord for evermore, Whose promise stands from days of yore. His word is faithful now as then; Blest be His Name. Amen. Amen. Blest be His Name, Amen. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 89 Used With Tune: ROTHWELL

The Church in Trial

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Prayer Complaint in First Line: O wherefore hast Thou cast us off Lyrics: 1 O wherefore hast Thou cast us off, O God, our God of old? Why art Thou angry with Thy sheep, The sheep of Thy own fold, The sheep of Thy own fold? 2 Remember Thy inheritance, Thy Church, redeemed by grace; Remember Zion's mount profaned, Thy ancient dwelling-place, Thy ancient dwelling-place. 3 In ruin long Thy temple lies; Arise, O God of grace; And see the ruin foes have wrought Within Thy holy place, Within Thy holy place. 4 Amid Thy courts are lifted high The standards of the foe, And impious hands with axe and fire Have laid Thy temple low, Have laid Thy temple low. 5 They have profaned the holy place Where Thou hast set thy Name, The sanctuaries of our God Are given to the flame, Are given to the flame. 6 We see no signs of power divine, No prophet speaks for Thee, And none can tell, and none can know, How long these woes shall be, How long these woes shall be. 7 How long, O God, shall blasphemy And shame reproach our land? Why dost Thou not destroy Thy foes With Thy almighty hand, With Thy almighty hand? 8 O God, Thou art our King of old, Salvation Thou hast wrought; In safety through the mighty sea Our fathers Thou hast brought, Our fathers Thou hast brought. 9 With mighty arm Thou didst destroy The pride of boastful man, And for Thy people made a path Where mighty waters ran, Where mighty waters ran. 10 The day is Thine, and Thine the night, And Thine the shining sun; At Thy command earth's bounds are set And changing seasons run, And changing seasons run. 11 Mark how Thy enemies, O Lord, Against Thee proudly speak; Preserve Thy saints from wicked men, Be mindful of the meek, Be mindful of the meek. 12 Fulfill, o Lord, Thy covenant, Our strong protector be, For in the earth are dark abodes Of crime and cruelty, Of crime and cruelty. 13 Let not Thy saints be put to shame, No longer in Thy sight Permit Thy foes to vaunt themselves; Lord, vindicate the right, Lord, vindicate the right.

My hope is in thy Name; From all my sins deliver me, Nor put my soul to shame. 2 I suffered silently, Because Thy will is best; Remove Thy heavy stroke from me, For I am sore distressed. 3 When sin thou dost repay And chasten and restrain, Man's beauty quickly fades away; Yea, human life is vain. 4 O Lord, regard my fears, And answer my request; Turn not in silence from my tears, But give the mourner rest. 5 I am a stranger here, Dependent on Thy grace, A pilgrim, as my fathers were, With no abiding place. 6 O spare me and restore My failing strength, I pray; Ere I go hence and be no more, The hand of judgment stay. Scripture: Psalm 39 Used With Tune: DULCE DOMUM

The Prayer of the Righteous

Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Prayer Complaint in First Line: Lord, hear the right, regard my cry Lyrics: 1 Lord, hear the right, regard my cry, My prayer from lips sincere; Send Thy approval from on high, My righteousness make clear. Thou in the night my heart hast tried, Nor found it turned from Thee aside. 2 With steadfast courage I design No wrong to speak or do; Thy path of life I choose for mine And walk with purpose true. For help, O God, I cry to Thee, Assured that Thou wilt answer me. 3 O Thou that ever savest those Whose trust on Thee is stayed, Preserving them from all their foes By Thy almighty aid, Let me Thy loving-kindness see, Thy wondrous mercy, full and free. 4 O guard me well as one doth guard The apple of the eye; While deadly foes are pressing hard, To Thee, to Thee I cry. Do Thou my rest and refuge be, O let Thy wings o'er shadow me. 5 My enemy, grown strong in pride, Would take my life away, A lion lurking by my side, Most greedy for his prey. Confront and cast him down, O Lord, From evil save me by Thy sword. 6 Defend me from the men of pride, Whose portion is below, Who, with life's treasures satisfied, No better portion know; They, with earth's joys and wealth content, Must leave them all when life is spent. 7 When I in righteousness at last Thy glorious face shall see, When all the weary night is past, And I awake with Thee To view the glories that abide, Then, then I shall be satisfied. Scripture: Psalm 17 Used With Tune: CALM

Full of troubles and affliction, Nigh to death my soul is brought Helpless, like one cast forever From Thy care and from Thy thought. 2 Thou hast bro't me down to darkness, 'Neath Thy wrath I am oppressed; All the billows of affliction Overwhelm my soul distressed, Thou hast made my friends despise me, And companion-less I go, Bound, and helpless in my bondage, Pining in my bitter woe. 3 Unto Thee with hands uplifted Daily I direct my cry; Hear, O Lord, my supplication, Hear and save me ere I die. Wilt Thou wait to show Thy wonders And Thy mercy to the dead? Let me live to tell Thy praises, By Thy loving-kindness led. 4 Still, O Lord, renewed each morning Unto Thee my prayer shall be; Cast me not away forever, Let me now Thy favor see. All my life is spent in sorrow, Grief and terror always nigh, Waves of wrath have surged about me; Show Thy mercy ere I die. 5 Friend and lover are departed, Dark and lonely is my way; Lord, be Thou my friend and helper, Still to Thee, O Lord, I pray.
