Complaint Against the Wicked

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Royalty of Christ Guarantee of Salvation First Line: Why standest Thou afar, O Lord Lyrics: 1 Why standest Thou afar, O Lord, Why art Thou hid in trouble's hour? The wicked persecute the poor In haughty pride and reckless pow'r. 2 Let their devices work their fall, For in their shame is all their pride; And while they seek unrighteous gain The Lord of justice is defied. 3 The wicked thinks, in foolish pride, There is no God Who will repay; He has no fear of God or man Because God's judgments long delay. 4 Unmoved by fear of coming doom, On fraud and wickedness intent, With craft he lurks and waits to catch The helpless and the innocent. 5 A lion crouching for his prey, He waits the poor to overthrow; He thinks that God remembers not, Or hides His face and will not know. 6 Arise, O Lord, lift up Thy hand, O God, protect the poor and meek; Why should the proud Thy justice doubt, And words of bold defiance speak? 7 O Lord, Thou wilt indeed requite, The sin and sorrow Thou dost see; The helpless and the fatherless Commit themselves, O Lord, to Thee. 8 Break Thou the pow'r of wicked men And let their works no longer stand; The Lord is King for evermore, Who drove the nations from His land. 9 Lord, Thou hast heard the lowly prayer, The fainting heart Thou wilt restore, The helpless cause Thou wilt maintain, That mortal man may boast no more. Scripture: Psalm 10 Used With Tune: BRIGGS

Doubts Overcome by Faith

Shall I His promise faithless find? For me shall wrath henceforth replace His tender mercies and His grace? 7 In weakness I was pressed with fear, But better hopes my spirit cheer; Past mercies lead me to rely Upon the help of God Most High. 8 Thy deeds, O Lord, will I relate And on thy wonders meditate; Thy way, O God, is just and right, And none is like to Thee in might. 9 Among the nations Thou hast shown Thy wondrous power and made it known; Thou art the God that mightily Redeemed and set Thy people free. 10 At sight of Thee the waters fled, The quaking clouds their torrents shed, The lightnings flashed, the thunder pealed, The trembling earth her fear revealed. 11 Thy way, O God, was in the sea, But, though Thy paths mysterious be, Thy people Thou didst safely keep As shepherds lead their helpless sheep. Scripture: Psalm 77 Used With Tune: SESSIONS
