Encompassed By Clouds Of Distress

Author: Augustus M. Toplady Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 114 hymnals First Line: Encompassed with clouds of distress Lyrics: 1 Encompassed with clouds of distress, Just ready all hope to resign, I pant for the light of Thy face, And fear it will never be mine; Disheartened with waiting so long, I sink at Thy feet with my load; All plaintive I pour out my song, And stretch forth my hands unto God. 2 Shine, Lord, and my terror shall cease; The blood of atonement apply; And lead me to Jesus for peace, The Rock that is higher than I; Speak, Savior, for sweet is Thy voice, Thy presence is fair to behold; Attend to my sorrows and cries, My groanings that cannot be told. 3 If sometimes I strive as I mourn, My hold of Thy promise to keep, The billows more fiercely return, And plunge me again in the deep; Harassed and cast out from Thy sight, The tempter suggests with a roar, "The Lord has forsaken thee quite; Thy God will be gracious no more." 4 Yet, Lord, if Thy love hath designed No covenant blessing for me, Ah, tell me, how is it I find Some pleasure in waiting for Thee? Almighty to rescue Thou art; Thy grace is my only resource: If e’er Thou art Lord of my heart, Thy Spirit must take it by force.

When Joseph His Brethren Behold

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 76 hymnals First Line: When Joseph his brethren beheld Lyrics: 1 When Joseph his brethren beheld, Afflicted and trembling with fear; His heart with compassion was filled, From weeping he could not forbear. Awhile his behavior was rough, To bring their past sin to their mind; But when they were humbled enough, He hasted to show himself kind. 2 How little they thought it was he, Whom they had ill treated and sold! How great their confusion must be, As soon as his name he had told! "I’m Joseph, your brother," he said, "And still to my heart you are dear; You sold me, and thought I was dead, But God, for your sakes, sent me here." 3 Though greatly distressed before, When charged with purloining the cup; They now were confounded much more, Not one of them dared to look up. "Can Joseph, whom we would have slain, Forgive us the evil we did? And will he our households maintain? O this is a brother indeed!" 4 Thus dragged by my conscience, I came, All laden with guilt, to the Lord; Surrounded with terror and shame, Unable to utter a word. At first He looked stern and severe, What anguish then pierced my heart! Expecting each moment to hear The sentence, "Thou cursed, depart!" 5 But O! what surprise when He spoke, While tenderness beamed in His face; My heart then to pieces was broke, O’erwhelmed and confounded by grace: “Poor sinner, I know thee full well, By thee I was sold and was slain; I died to redeem thee from hell, And raise thee in glory to reign. 6 "I am Jesus, whom thou hast blasphemed, And crucified often afresh; But let Me henceforth be esteemed, Thy brother, thy bone, and thy flesh: My pardon I freely bestow, Thy wants I will fully supply; I’ll guide thee and guard thee below, And soon will remove thee on high. 7 "Go, publish to sinners around, That they may be willing to come, The mercy which now you have found, And tell them that yet there is room." O, sinners, the message obey! No more vain excuses pretend; But come, without further delay, To Jesus, our brother and friend. Used With Tune: GREEN FIELDS Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London, W.
