My soul with long expectance faints

Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #P.CXIX.Caph (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 81 My soul with long expectance faints To see thy saving grace; Yet still on thy unerring word My confidence I place. 82 My very eyes consume and fail With waiting for thy word; O! when wilt thou thy kind relief And promis'd aid afford! 83 My skin like shrivel'd parchment shows That long in smoke is set; Yet no affliction me can force thy statutes to forget. 84 How many days must I endure Of sorrow and distress? When wilt thou judgment execute On them who me oppress? 85 The proud have digg'd a pit for me, That have no other foes, But such as are averse to thee, And thy just laws oppose. 86 With sacred truth's eternal laws All thy commands agree; Men persecute me without cause; Thou, Lord, my helper be. 87 With close designs against my life They had almost prevail'd; But in obedience to thy will, My duty never fail'd. 88 Thy wonted kindness, Lord, restore, My drooping heart to cheer; That by thy righteous statutes I My life's whole course may steer. Scripture: Psalm 119:81-88 Languages: English

My Soul, with long Expectance, waits

Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns, selected for the use of the Parish-Church of Boston #35 (1793) Lyrics: 1 My Soul with long Expectance waits To see thy saving Grace; Yet still on thy unerring Word My Confidence I place. 2 With Favor, Lord, look down on me Who thy Relief implore; As Thou art wont to visit those, Who thy blest Name adore. 3 Thy constant Blessing now bestow, To chear my drooping Heart; To me, according to thy Word, Thy saving Health impart. 4 So shall I, when my Foes upbraid, This ready Answer make; "In God I trust, who never will "His faithful Promise break." Scripture: Psalm 119:81 Languages: English
