Support for the afflicted and tempted Soul

Appears in 52 hymnals Topics: Support for the afflicted and tempted; Temptations support under them First Line: O GOD, my Refuge, hear my Cries Lyrics: 1 O GOD, my Refuge, hear my Cries, Behold my flowing Tears; For Earth and Hell my Hurt devise, And triumph in my Fears. 2 Their Rage is levell'd at my Life, My Soul with Guilt they load, And fill my Thoughts with inward Strife, To shake my Hope in GOD. 3 With inward Pain my Heart-strings sound, I groan with ev'ry Breath; Horror and Fear beset me round Amongst the Shades of Death. 4 O were I like a feather'd Dove, And Innocence had Wings; I'd fly, and make a long Remove, From all these restless Things. 5 Let me to some wild Desart go, And find a peaceful Home; Where Storms of Malice never blow, Temptations never come. 6 Vain hopes, and vain Intentions all To 'scape the Rage of Hell! The mighty GOD, on whom I call, Can save me here as well. Pause. 7 By Morning-Light I'll seek his Face, At Noon repeat my Cry; The Night shall hear me ask his Grace, Nor will he long deny. 8 GOD shall preserve my Soul from Fear, Or shield me when afraid; Ten Thousand Angels must appear, If he command their Aid. 9 I cast my Burdens on the Lord, The Lord sustains them all; My Courage rests upon his Word, That Saints shall never fall. 9 My highest Hopes shall not be vain, My Lips shall spread his Praise; While cruel and deceitful Men Scarce live out Half their Days. Scripture: Psalm 55:1-8

Psalm 146

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 529 hymnals Topics: Afflicted and tempted, supported First Line: I'll praise my Maker with my breath Lyrics: I'll praise my Maker with my breath, And when my voice is lost in death, Praise shall employ my nobler powers My days of praise shall ne'er be past, While life, and thought, and being last, Or immortality endures. Why should I make a man my trust? Princes must die and turn to dust; Vain is the help of flesh and blood: Their breath departs, their pomp, and power, And thoughts, all vanish in an hour, Nor can they make their promise good. Happy the man whose hopes rely On Isr'el's God: he made the sky, And earth, and seas, with all their train: His truth for ever stands secure; He saves th' oppressed, he feeds the poor, And none shall find his promise vain. The Lord hath eyes to give the blind; The Lord supports the sinking mind; He sends the lab'ring conscience peace; He helps the stranger in distress, The widow and the fatherless, And grants the pris'ner sweet release. He loves his saints, he knows them well, But turns the wicked down to hell; Thy God, O Zion! ever reigns: Let every tongue, let every age, In this exalted work engage; Praise him in everlasting strains. I'll praise him while he lends me breath; And when my voice is lost in death, Praise shall employ my nobler powers: My days of praise shall ne'er be past, While life, and thought, and being last, Or immortality endures. Scripture: Psalm 146

They say, "The Lord nor sees nor hears:" When will the fools be wise? Can he be deaf who formed their ears? Or blind, who made their eyes? He knows their impious thoughts are vain, And they shall feel his power; His wrath shall pierce their souls with pain In some surprising hour. But if thy saints deserve rebuke, Thou hast a gentler rod; Thy providences and thy book Shall make them know their God. Blest is the man thy hands chastise, And to his duty draw; Thy scourges make thy children wise When they forget thy law. But God will ne'er cast off his saints, Nor his own promise break He pardons his inheritance For their Redeemer's sake. Scripture: Psalm 94:7-14
