Psalm 143

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 56 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 143 First Line: My righteous Judge, my gracious God Lyrics: My righteous Judge, my gracious God, Hear when I spread my hands abroad, And cry for succor from thy throne; O make thy truth and mercy known! Let judgment not against me pass; Behold, thy servant pleads thy grace: Should justice call us to thy bar, No man alive is guiltless there. Look down in pity, Lord, and see The mighty woes that burden me; Down to the dust my life is brought, Like one long buried and forgot. I dwell in darkness and unseen, My heart is desolate within My thoughts in musing silence trace The ancient wonders of thy grace. Thence I derive a glimpse of hope To bear my sinking spirits up; I stretch my hands to God again, And thirst like parched lands for rain For thee I thirst, I pray, I mourn: When will thy smiling face return? Shall all my joys on earth remove? And God for ever hide his love? My God, thy long delay to save Will sink thy pris'ner to the grave; My heart grows faint, and dim mine eye; Make haste to help before I die. The night is witness to my tears, Distressing pains, distressing fears; O might I hear thy morning voice, How would my wearied powers rejoice! In thee I trust, to thee I sigh, And lift my heavy soul on high; For thee sit waiting all the day, And wear the tiresome hours away. Break off my fetters, Lord, and show Which is the path my feet should go; If snares and foes beset the road, I flee to hide me near my God. Teach me to do thy holy will, And lead me to thy heav'nly hill; Let the good Spirit of thy love Conduct me to thy courts above. Then shall my soul no more complain, The tempter then shall rage in vain; And flesh, that was my foe before, Shall never vex my spirit more.

Hide me, O my Saviour, hide, till the storm of life is past; safe into the haven guide, oh, receive my soul at last! 2 Other refuge have I none, hangs my helpless soul on thee; leave, ah! leave me not alone, still support and comfort me. All my trust on thee is stayed, all my help from thee I bring; cover my defenceless head with the shadow of thy wing. 3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want; more than all in thee I find! Raise the fallen, cheer the faint, heal the sick, and lead the blind. Just and holy is thy name, I am all unrighteousness; false and full of sin I am, thou art full of truth and grace. 4 Plenteous grace with thee is found, grace to cover all my sin; let the healing streams abound, make and keep me pure within. Thou of life the fountain art, freely let me take of thee; spring thou up within my heart, rise to all eternity.

And in the morning make me hear The love and kindness of thy heart. 6 Thus when the night of death shall come My flesh shall rest beneath the ground, And wait thy voice to rouse my tomb, With sweet salvation in the sound.

Lord, hear my Pray'r, and to my Cry

Appears in 14 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 143 Lyrics: 1 Lord, hear my Pray'r, and to my Cry thy wonted Audience lend; In thy accustom'd Faith and Truth a gracious Answer send. 2 Nor at thy strict Tribunal bring thy Servant to be try'd; For in thy Sight no living Man can e'er be justify'd. 3 The spiteful Foe pursues my Life, whose Comforts all are fled; He drives me into Caves as dark as Mansions of the Dead. 4 My Spirit therefore is o'erwhelm'd, and sinks within my Brest; My mournful Heart grows desolate, with heavy Woes opprest. 5 I call to mind the Days of old, and Wonders thou hast wrought: My former Dangers and Escapes employ my musing Thought. 6 To thee my Hands in humble prayer I fervently stretch out; My Soul for thy Refreshment thirsts, like Land opprest with Drought. 7 Hear me with Speed, my Spirit fails; thy Face no longer hide, Lest I become forlorn, like them that in the Grave reside. 8 Thy Kindness early let me hear, whose Trust on thee depends; Teach me the Way where I should go: my soul to thee ascends. 9 Do thou, O Lord, from all my Foes preserve, and set me free; A safe Retreat against their Rage, my Soul implores from Thee. 10 Thou art my God, thy righteous Will instruct me to obey; Let thy good Spirit lead and keep my Soul in thy right Way. 11 O for the sake of thy great Name revive my drooping Heart: For thy Truth's Sake to me distress'd, thy promis'd Aid impart. 12 In Pity to my Suff'rings, Lord, reduce my Foes to Shame; Slay them that persecute a Soul devoted to thy Name.

The prayer your lips have pleaded In agony of heart these many years? Does faith begin to fail, is hope departing, And think you all in vain those falling tears? Say not the Father hath not heard your prayer; You shall have your desire, sometime, somewhere. 2 Unanswered yet? Though when you first presented This one petition at the Father’s throne, It seemed you could not wait the time of asking, So urgent was your heart to make it known. Though years have passed since then, do not despair; The Lord will answer you, sometime, somewhere. 3 Unanswered yet? But you are not unheeded; The promises of God forever stand; To Him our days and years alike are equal; “Have faith in God”; it is your Lord’s command. Hold on to Jacob’s angel and your prayer Shall bring a blessing down sometime, somewhere. 4 Unanswered yet? Nay, do not say ungranted; Perhaps your part is not yet wholly done; The work began when first your prayer was uttered, And God will finish what He has begun. If you will keep the incense burning there, His glory you shall see, sometime, somewhere. 5 Unanswered yet? Faith cannot be unanswered; Her feet were firmly planted on the Rock; Amid the wildest storm prayer stands undaunted, Nor quails before the loudest thunder shock. She knows Omnipotence has heard her prayer, And cries, “It shall be done,” sometime, somewhere.

They who trust with faith unshaken By their God are not forsaken And will keep a dauntless heart. 2 He who to this day has fed me And to many joys has led me Is and ever shall be mine. He who ever gently schools me, He who daily guides and rules me Will remain my help divine. 3 Many spend their lives in fretting Over trifles and in getting Things that have no solid ground. I shall strive to win a treasure That will bring me lasting pleasure And that now is seldom found. 4 When with sorrow I am stricken, Hope anew my heart will quicken; All my longing shall be stilled. To His loving-kindness tender Soul and body I surrender, For on God alone I build. 5 Well He knows what best to grant me; All the longing hopes that haunt me, Joy and sorrow, have their day. I shall doubt His wisdom never; As God wills, so be it ever; I commit to Him my way. 6 If my days on earth He lengthen, God my weary soul will strengthen; All my trust in Him I place. Earthly wealth is not abiding, Like a stream away is gliding; Safe I anchor in His grace. Used With Tune: ALLES IST AN GOTTES SEGEN Text Sources: Andächtige Haus-Kirche, Nürnberg, 1676

A Psalm of David

Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 143 First Line: Lord, hear my humble prayer to thee Lyrics: 1 LORD, hear my humble pray'r to Thee, and to my cries attend; And in thy truth and righteousness a gracious answer send. 2 O with thy servant enter not in judgment me to try; For in thy sight no man alive, himself can justify. 3 The foe pursues my soul, my life down to the ground doth tread, In darkness makes me dwell as those that ages have been dead. 4 Therefore my soul is overwhelm'd with great perplexity; My heart, of joy and comfort is made desolate in me. 5 I call'd to mind the days of old, on all thy works I thought; I meditated on the deeds thy mighty hands have wrought. 6 And now I earnestly to Thee reach mine out-stretched hands; My soul for Thee with ardour longs, like dry and thirsty lands. [2 Part] 7 LORD hear with speed, my spirit fails: hide not thy face from me; Lest I like those who in the grave descend, should quickly be. 8 Let me thy kindness early hear; in Thee my hope I place: Shew me the way wherein to go; my soul to Thee I raise. 9 JEHOVAH, from mine enemies quickly deliver me: To hide me safe beneath thy wings in haste I fly to Thee. 10 Teach me to do thy will, because Thou art my GOD indeed: Let thy good spirit to the land of uprightness me lead. 11 Yea for the sake of thy great name, O LORD, revive Thou me; And in thy righteousness do Thou my soul from trouble free. 12 Yea, in thy mercy Thou my foes, wilt quite suppress; and them Thou wilt destroy who vex my soul, for I thy servant am.
