Appears in 67 hymnals Topics: Hope in Affliction First Line: My Spirit sinks within me, Lord Lyrics: 1 My Spirits sink within me, Lord, But I will call thy Name to mind; And Times of past Distress record, When I have found my GOD was kind. 2 Huge Troubles, with tumultuous Noise, Swell like a Sea, and round me spread; Thy Water-spouts drown all my Joys, And rising Waves roll o'er my Head. 3 Yet will the Lord command his Love, When I address his Throne by Day, Nor in the Night his grace remove; The Night shall hear me sing and pray. 4 I'll cast myself before his Feet, And say, "My GOD, my heav'nly Rock, "Why doth thy Love so long forget "The Soul that groans beneath thy Stroke?" 5 I'll chide my Heart that sinks so low, Why should my Soul indulge her Grief? Hope in the Lord, and praise him too; He is my Rest, my sure Relief. 6 Thy Light and Truth shall guide me still, Thy Word shall my best Thoughts employ, And lead me to thine heav'nly Hill, My GOD, my most exceeding Joy.

O Thou Great Shepherd of Thy Chosen Race

Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Help in Afflictions Lyrics: 1 O Thou great Shepherd of Thy chosen race, Who leadest like a flock Thy Israel dear, From out the cherubim reveal Thy face, Before our host now let Thy might appear. Come Thou, O God, to save us and restore; We shall be saved when shines Thy face once more. 2 How long, O Lord, wilt Thou disdain our prayer? For Thou hast fed us with the bread of tears, And bitter sorrow Thou hast made us share; The nations round us mock with scornful jeers. O God of Hosts, Thy people now restore; We shall be saved when shines Thy face once more. 3 A vine Thou broughtest forth from Egypt's land; The nations were thrust out to give it room; It took deep root, it spread on every hand, The hills were covered with its shade and bloom; Its boughs were like great cedars spreading wide; They reached the sea, its roots the riverside. 4 Why hast Thou broken down its circling wall That they may pluck who pass along the way? Wild beasts from out the wood destroy it all And feed upon Thy vine by night and day. O God of hosts, we pray Thee now, restore; We shall be saved when shines Thy face once more. 5 Look down, behold and visit this Thy vine Which Thou hast planted with Thy own right hand, The branch Thou hast made strong and owned as Thine, For it is burned with fire, no more to stand; Thy people perish in Thy anger sore Because Thy face now shines on them no more. 6 O let Thy hand Thy chosen one sustain, The son of man Thou madest strong to be; So we shall faithful to Thy cause remain; Revive Thou us, and we will call on Thee. Jehovah, God of hosts, again restore; We shall be saved when shines Thy face once more. Scripture: Psalm 80 Used With Tune: LANGRAN

Appears in 11 hymnals Topics: Prayer in Afflictions 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
