Just as the tide creeps over silver sand
The one who longs to make us whole
Author: Edith Sinclair Downing (b. 1922) Hymnal: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) #719 (2005) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Despair and Trouble Lyrics: 1 The one who longs to make us whole
is waiting to embrace
our broken lives, so we can know
the power of healing grace.
God's love surrounds our suffering,
and keeps us through the night;
God helps us bear our deep despair
till we see morning light.
2 The one who saves us from ourselves
is waiting to release
our hearts from chains of self-reproach
and failure to find peace.
When harmful habits leave us bruised,
distraught by inner pain,
God comes to us through trusted friends,
and helps us hope again.
3 The one who understands our need
accepts us as we are;
and, like a loved one, welcomes us
when we have wandered far.

to be forgiven, free,
but promises we can become
the self we're meant to be. Scripture: Acts 10:38 Languages: English Tune Title: THIRD MODE MELODY

All who love and serve your city
Author: Erik Routley, 1917-1982 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #721 (1997) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Topics: Discouragement / Despair Lyrics: 1 All who love and serve your city,
all who bear its daily stress,
all who cry for peace and justice,
all who curse and all who bless:
2 in your day of loss and sorrow,
in your day of helpless strife,
honour, peace and love retreating,
seek the Lord, who is your life.
3 In your day of wealth and plenty,
wasted work and wasted play,
call to mind the word of Jesus,
"You must work while it is day."
4 For all days are days of judgement,
and the Lord is waiting still,
drawing near a world that spurns him,
offering peace from Calvary's hill.
5 Risen Lord, shall yet the city
be the city of despair?
Come today, our Judge, our Glory,
be its name “The Lord is there!" Scripture: Isaiah 55:6 Languages: English Tune Title: CHARLESTOWN

I Love You, O LORD, You Alone
Author: Christopher Idle Hymnal: Christian Worship #18A (2021) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Topics: Despair Lyrics: 1 I love you, O LORD, you alone,
my refuge on whom I depend,
my maker, my Savior, my own,
my hope and my trust without end.
The LORD is my strength and my song,
defender and guide of my ways;
my master to whom I belong,
my God who shall have all my praise.
2 The dangers of death gathered round,
the waves of destruction came near,
but in my despairing I found
the LORD who released me from fear.
I called for his help in my pain,
to God my salvation I cried;
he brought me his comfort again,
I live by the strength he supplied.
3 The earth and the elements shake
with thunder and lightning and hail;
the cliffs and the mountain-tops break
and mortals are feeble and pale.
His justice is full and complete,
his mercy to us has no end;
the clouds are a path for his feet,
he comes on the wings of the wind.
4 My hope is the promise he gives,
my life is secure in his hand;
I shall not be lost, for he lives!
he comes to my aid— I shall stand!
LORD God, you are pow'rful to save,
your Spirit will spur me to pray;
your Son has defeated the grave:
I trust and I praise you today! Scripture: Psalm 18 Languages: English Tune Title: JANE

Psalm 130
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.299 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Despair deliverance from it First Line: From deep distress and troubled thoughts Lyrics:
From deep distress and troubled thoughts
To thee, my God, I raised my cries;
If thou severely mark our faults,
No flesh can stand before thine eyes.
But thou hast built thy throne of grace
Free to dispense thy pardons there,
That sinners may approach thy face,
And hope and love, as well as fear.
As the benighted pilgrims wait,
And long, and wish for breaking day,
So waits my soul before thy gate;
When will my God his face display?
My trust is fixed upon thy word,
Nor shall I trust thy word in vain;
Let mourning souls address the Lord,
And find relief from all their pain.
Great is his love, and large his grace,
Through the redemption of his Son;
He turns our feet from sinful ways,
And pardons what our hands have done.
Scripture: Psalm 130 Languages: English
Psalm 130
Lord, how secure muy Conscience was
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.CXV (1766) Topics: Despair and Presumption Lyrics: 1 Lord, how secure my Conscience was,
And felt no inward Dread!
I was alive without the Law,
And thought my Sins were dead.
2 My Hopes of Heav'n were firm and bright,
But since the Precept came,
With a convincing Pow'r and Light,
I find how vile I am.
[3 My Guilt appear'd but small before,
Till terribly I saw
How Perfect, Holy, Just, and Pure,
Was thine eternal Law.
4 Then felt my Soul the heavy Load;
My Sins reviv'd again
I had provok'd a dreadful God,
And all my Hopes were slain.]
5 I'm like a helpless Captive sold,
Under the Pow'r of Sin;
I cannot do the Good I would,
Nor keep my Conscience clean.
6 My God, I cry with ev'ry Breath
For some kind Pow'r to save,
To break the Yoke of Sin and Death,
And thus redeem the Slave. Scripture: Romans 5:8-9 Languages: English
Lord, how secure muy Conscience was
