Psalm 13
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 64 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 13 First Line: How long wilt thou conceal thy face? Lyrics:
How long wilt thou conceal thy face?
My God, how long delay?
When shall I feel those heav'nly rays
That chase my fears away?
How long shall my poor lab'ring soul
Wrestle and toil in vain?
Thy word can all my foes control,
And ease my raging pain.
See how the prince of darkness tries
All his malicious arts
He spreads a mist around my eyes,
And throws his fiery darts.
Be thou my sun, and thou my shield,
My soul in safety keep;
Make haste, before mine eyes are sealed
In death's eternal sleep.
How would the tempter boast aloud
If I become his prey!
Behold, the sons of hell grow proud
At thy so long delay.
But they shall fly at thy rebuke,
And Satan hide his head;
He knows the terrors of thy look,
And hears thy voice with dread.
Thou wilt display that sovereign grace,
Where all my hopes have hung;
I shall employ my lips in praise,
And victory shall be sung.

Psalm 13
Psalm 13: How long wilt thou forget me, Lord?
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 22 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 13 First Line: How long wilt thou forget me, Lord? Lyrics:
1How long wilt thou forget me, Lord?
shall it for ever be?
O how long shall it be that thou
wilt hide thy face from me?
2How long take counsel in my soul,
still sad in heart, shall I?
How long exalted over me
shall be mine enemy?
3O Lord my God, consider well,
and answer to me make:
Mine eyes enlighten, lest the sleep
of death me overtake:
4Lest that mine enemy should say,
Against him I prevail’d;
And those that trouble me rejoice,
when I am mov’d and fail’d.
5But I have all my confidence
thy mercy set upon;
My heart within me shall rejoice
in thy salvation.
6I will unto the Lord my God
sing praises cheerfully,
Because he hath his bounty shown
to me abundantly.

How Long, O Lord
Appears in 14 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 13 First Line: How long, O Lord, will you forget Lyrics: 1 How long, O Lord, will you forget
an answer to my prayer?
No tokens of your love I see,
your face is turned away from me;
I wrestle with despair.
2 How long, O Lord, will you forsake
and leave me in this way?
When will you come to my relief?
My heart is overwhelmed with grief,
by evil night and day.
3 How long, O Lord, but you forgive
with mercy from above.
I find that all your ways are just,
I learn to praise you and to trust
in your unfailing love!

How Long, O Lord
Psalm 13
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 64 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 13 First Line: How long, O Lord, shall I complain Lyrics:
How long, O Lord, shall I complain,
Like one that seeks his God in vain?
Canst thou thy face for ever hide,
And I still pray, and be denied?
Shall I for ever be forgot,
As one whom thou regardest not
Still shall my soul thine absence mourn,
And still despair of thy return?
How long shall my poor troubled breast
Be with these anxious thoughts oppressed?
And Satan, my malicious foe,
Rejoice to see me sunk so low?
Hear, Lord, and grant me quick relief,
Before my death conclude my grief:
If thou withhold thy heav'nly light,
I sleep in everlasting night.
How will the powers of darkness boast,
If but one praying soul be lost!
But I have trusted in thy grace,
And shall again behold thy face.
Whate'er my fears or foes suggest,
Thou art my hope, my joy, my rest;
My heart shall feel thy love, and raise
My cheerful voice to songs of praise.

Psalm 13
How Long Wilt Thou Forget Me
Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 10 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 13 Lyrics: 1 How long wilt thou forget me,
O Lord, thou God of grace?
How long shall fears beset me,
while darkness hides thy face?
How long shall griefs distress me
and turn my day to night?
How long shall foes oppress me
and triumph in their might?
2 O Lord my God, behold me,
and hear my earnest cries;
lest sleep of death enfold me,
enlighten thou mine eyes;
lest now my foe insulting
should boast of his success,
and enemies exulting
rejoice in my distress.
3 But I with expectation
have on thy grace relied;
my heart in thy salvation
shall still with joy confide;
and I with voice of singing
will praise the Lord above,
who, richest bounties bringing,
has dealt with me in love.

Lift Every Voice and Sing
Author: James Weldon Johnson, 1871-1938 Meter: Irregular Appears in 48 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 13:6 Lyrics: 1 Lift every voice and sing
till earth and heaven ring,
ring with the harmonies of liberty;
let our rejoicing rise,
high as the listening skies,
let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
Sing a song full of the faith
that the dark past has taught us,
sing a song full of the hope
that the present has brought us;
facing the rising sun of our new day begun,
let us march on till victory is won.
2 Stony the road we trod,
bitter the chastening rod,
felt in the days
when hope unborn had died;
yet with a steady beat,
have not our weary feet
come to the place for which our people sighed?
We have come over a way
that with tears has been watered,
we have come, treading our path
through the blood of the slaughtered,
out from the gloomy past,
till now we stand at last
where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.
3 God of our weary years,
God of our silent tears,
thou who hast brought us
thus far on the way;
thou who hast, by thy might,
led us into the light,
keep us forever in the path, we pray.
Lest our feet stray from the places,
our God, where we met thee,
lest, our hearts drunk with
the wine of the world, we forget thee;
shadowed beneath thy hand, may we forever stand,
true to our God, true to our native land.

All thanks, O Lord, to Thee!

The hours of dark may be.

The hours of dark may be.

And guard me thro' the coming night.

And lest my Foe should say,
"I have prevailed against him,"
Lighten mine eyes, I pray.
O Jesus, keep me in Thy sight,
And guard me through the coming night.
5 Be Thou our soul's Preserver,
O God, for Thou dost know
How many are the perils
Through which we have to go;
Lover of men, oh, hear my call
And guard and save me from them all!

Gathered by the crystal sea.

Found the sheep that went astray,
Threw His loving arms around me,
Drew me back into His way. (Chorus)

Faint was I from many a fall,
Sight was gone, and fears possessed me,
But He freed me from them all. (Chorus)
4 Days of darkness still come o’er me,
Sorrow’s path I often tread,
But His presence still is with me;
By His hand I’m safely led. (Chorus)
5 He will keep me till the river
Rolls its waters at my feet;
Then He’ll bear me safely over,
Where the loved ones I shall meet. (Chorus)

the darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide.
When other helpers fail, and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me.

earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away;
change and decay in all around I see:
O thou, who changest not, abide with me.
3 I need thy presence every passing hour;
what but thy grace can foil the tempter's power?
Who like thyself my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me.
4 I fear no foe, with thee at hand to bless;
ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.
Where is death's dark sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if thou abide with me.
5 Hold thou thy cross before my closing eyes;
shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies;
heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee;
in life, in death, O Lord, abide with me. Topics: Evening; Faith/Trust; Funeral Used With Tune: EVENTIDE

On the borders of your land:

Bids you undismay'd, go on.

Gladly leaving all below;

And we still will follow thee.

The church's one foundation
Author: S. J. Stone, 1839-1900 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 861 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 13:1 Lyrics: 1 The church's one foundation
is Jesus Christ her Lord;
she is his new creation
by water and the word:
from heaven he came and sought her
to be his holy Bride;
with his own blood he bought her,
and for her life he died.
2 Elect from every nation,
yet one o'er all the earth,
her charter of salvation
one Lord, one faith, one birth;
one holy name she blesses,
partakes one holy food,
and to one hope she presses
with every grace endued.
*3 Though with a scornful wonder
men see her sore opprest,
by schisms rent asunder,
by heresies distrest;
yet saints their watch are keeping,
their cry goes up, 'How long?'
And soon the night of weeping
shall be the morn of song.
4 'Mid toil and tribulation,
and tumult of her war,
she waits the consummation
of peace for evermore;
till with the vision glorious
her longing eyes are blest,
and the great church victorious
shall be the church at rest.
5 Yet she on earth hath union
with God the Three in One,
and mystic sweet communion
with those whose rest is won:
O happy ones and holy!
Lord, give us grace that we,
like them, the meek and lowly,
on high may dwell with thee. Topics: Third Sunday Before Lent Year A; Proper 5 Year C; Proper 16 Year A Used With Tune: AURELIA

I yield my flick’ring torch to thee;
My heart restores its borrowed ray,
That in thy sunshine’s blaze its day
May brighter, fairer be.

I cannot close my heart to thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
And feel the promise is not vain,
That morn shall tearless be.

I dare not ask to fly from thee;
I lay in dust life’s glory dead,
