Hope

Author: Burnham Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #244 (1844) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) Scripture: Lamentations 3:24 First Line: Our Jesus is the god of hope Lyrics: 1 Our Jesus is the God of hope; He works it by his power; It holds the weak believer up, In the distressing hour. 2 The darkest cloud hope pierces through, And waits upon the Lord, Expects to prove that all is true Throughout the sacred word. 3 True hope looks out for blessing great; And, though they’re long delayed, Yet hope’s determined still to wait, Until they are conveyed. 4 Hope long will wait, and wait again, And ne’er can give it up, Till the blest Lamb, who once was slain, Appears the God of hope.

The high consolation of friendship divine! 2 Awakened to see the depth of my fall, For mercy on thee I earnestly call; ’Tis thine the lost sinner to save and renew; Faith’s mighty Beginner and Finisher too. 3 Thy Spirit alone repentance implants, And gives me to groan at feeling my wants; ’Midst all my dejection, dear Lord, I can trace Some marks of election, some tokens of grace. 4 Thou wilt not despise a sinner distressed; All-kind and all-wise, thy season is best. To thy sovereign pleasure resigned I would be, And tarry at leisure, and hope still in thee. Topics: Fruits of the Spirit Humility Languages: English

I hear a righteous man

Author: Berridge Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #749 (1844) Hymnal Title: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) Scripture: Lamentations 3:8 Lyrics: 1 I hear a righteous man, A prophet good and great, In deep distress complain, And thus his grief relate: “I call on God, and cry and shout, But all my prayer he shutteth out.” 2 He cries, and cries again, And yet no answers come; He shouts aloud through pain, And still the Lord is dumb; Like some abandoned wretch he moans, And Jesus seems to mock his groans. 3 Let every drooping saint Keep waiting evermore; And though exceeding faint, Knock on at mercy’s door; Still cry and shout till night is past, For daylight will spring up at last. 4 If Christ do not appear, When his disciples cry, He marketh every tear, And counteth every sigh; In all their sorrows bears a part, Beholds their grief, and feels their smart. 5 He lends an unseen hand, And gives a secret prop, Which keeps them waiting stand, Till he complete their hope! So let me wait upon this Friend, And trust him till my troubles end. Languages: English

Divine Mercies in constant Succession

Author: Dr. S. Stennett Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #DXLVII (1792) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: A Selection of Hymns Scripture: Lamentations 3:22-23 First Line: How various and how new Lyrics: 1 How various and how new Are thy compassions, Lord! Each morning shall thy mercies shew, Each night thy truth record. 2 Thy goodness, like the sun, Dawn'd on our early days, Ere infant-reason had begun To form our lips to praise. 3 Each object we beheld Gave pleasure to our eyes; And nature all our senses held In bands of sweet surprise. 4 But pleasures more refin'd Awaited that bless'd day, When light arose upon our mind, And chas'd our sins away. 5 How new thy mercies then! How sovereign and how free! Our souls that had been dead in sin, Were made alive to thee. Pause. 6 Now we expect a day Still brighter far than this, When death shall bear our souls away To realms of light and bliss. 7 There rapturous scenes of joy Shall burst upon our sight: And every pain, and tear, and sigh, Be drown'd in endless night. 8 Beneath thy balmy sing, O sun of righteousness, Our happy souls shall sit and sing The wonders of thy grace. 9 Nor shall that radiant day So joyfully begun, In evening shadows die away, Beneath the setting sun. 10 How various and how new Are thy compassions, Lord! Eternity thy love shall shew, And all thy truth record. Topics: Time and Eternity; Mercies constant succession Languages: English
