I cannot call affliction sweet

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #182 (1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Affliction; Prayer in affliction Lyrics: I cannot call affliction sweet, And yet 'twas good to bear: Affliction brought me to Thy feet, And I found comfort there. My weanèd soul was all-resign'd To Thy most gracious will; Oh! had I kept that better mind, Or been afflicted still! Where are the vows which then I vow'd, The joys which then I knew? Those vanish'd, like the morning cloud, These like the early dew. 185 Lord, grant me grace for every day, Whate'er my state may be, Through life, in death, with truth to say, "My God is all to me!"

Affliction is a stormy deep

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #461 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Affliction sanctified Lyrics: 1 Affliction is a stormy deep, Where wave resounds to wave; Though o'er my head the billows roll, I know the Lord can save. 2 The hand that now withholds my joys Can reinstate my peace; And he who bade the tempest roar, Can bid that tempest cease. 3 In the dark watches of the night, I'll count his mercies o'er; I'll praise him for ten thousand past, And humbly sue for more. 4 When darkness and when sorrows rose And press'd on every side, The Lord has still sustain'd my steps, And still has been my guide. 5 Here will I rest, and build my hopes, Nor murmur at his rod; He's more than all the world to me, My health, my life, my God! Scripture: Psalm 42

What more can He say, than to you He hath said, To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled? 2 "Fear not, I am with thee; O be not dismayed! For I am thy God, I will still give thee aid; I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand, Upheld by My gracious, omnipotent hand. 3 "When through the deep waters I call thee to go, The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow; For I will be with thee thy trials to bless, And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress. 4 "When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie, My grace, all-sufficient, shall be thy supply; The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine. 5 "E'en down to old age all My people shall prove My sovereign, eternal, unchangeable love; And when hoary hairs shall their temples adorn, Like lambs they shall still in My bosom be borne. 6 "The soul that on Jesus doth lean for repose, I will not--I will not desert to his foes; That soul, though all hell should endeavour to shake, I'll never, no, never, no, never forsake!"

Saints chastised, and Sinners destroyed; or, Instructive Afflictions

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #167 (1740) Topics: Afflicted Instruction by them; Afflicted of Saints and Sinners different; Afflicted sanctified; Instructive Affliction First Line: O GOD! to whom Revenge belongs Lyrics: 1 O GOD! to whom Revenge belongs, Proclaim thy Wrath aloud; Let sov'reign Pow'r redress our Wrongs, Let Justice smite the Proud. 2 They say, The Lord nor sees nor hears; When will the Fools be wise? Can he be deaf, who form'd their Ears? Or blind, who made their Eyes? 3 He knows their impious Thoughts are vain, And they shall feel his Pow'r; His Wrath shall pierce their Souls with Pain In some surprising Hour. 4 But if thy Saints deserve Rebuke, Thou hast a gentler Rod; Thy Providences and thy Book Shall make them know their GOD. 5 Blest is the Man thy Hands chastise, And to his Duty draw; Thy Scourges make thy Children wise When they forget thy Law. 6 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 94:1-2 Languages: English

Complaint of heavy Afflictions in Mind an dBody

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #262b (1740) Topics: Afflicted from Men; Afflicted their prayer; Afflicted very great; Hope in Affliction First Line: My righteous Judge, my gracious GOD Lyrics: 1 My righteous Judge, my gracious GOD, Hear when I spread my Hands abroad, And cry for Succour from thy Throne, O make thy truth and Mercy known! 2 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. 3 Look down in Pity, Lord, and see The mighty Woes that burthen me; Down to the Dust my Life is brought, Like one long bury'd and forgot. 4 I dwell in Darkness and unseen; My Heart is desolate within; My Thoughts in musing Silence trace The ancient Wonders of thy grace. 5 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. 6 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? 7 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. 8 The Night is Witness to my Tears, Distressing Pains, distressing Fears; O might I hear thy Morning Voice, How would my weary'd Pow'rs rejoice! 9 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. 10 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. 11 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. 12 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. Scripture: Psalm 143 Languages: English

Yet will my soul revere thy rod, Be still, and know that thou art God. 4 Then be my trials great or small, There's sure a needs-be for them all; Thus, then, by dealing I'll applaud, Be still, and know that thou art God. 5 Let me not murmur, nor repine, Under these trying strokes of thine; But while I walk the mournful road, Be still, and know that thou art God. 6 Still let this truth support my mind, Thou can'st not err, nor be unkind; And thus may I approve the rod, Be still, and know that thou art God. 7 Thy love thou'lt make in heaven appear In all I've borne or suffer'd here; Let me, till brought to that bode, Be still, and know that thou art God. 8 There when my happy soul shall rise To joys and Jesus in the skies, I shall, as ransom'd by thy blood, For ever sing, thou art my God.

Thy foes will rejoice when my sorrows they see, And smile at the tears I have shed. 4 He looks! and ten thousands of angels rejoice, And myriads wait for His word; He speaks! and eternity, filled with His voice; Re-echoes the praise of the Lord. 5 Dear Shepherd, I hear, and will follow Thy call; I know the sweet sound of Thy voice. Restore and defend me, for Thou art my all, And in Thee I will ever rejoice. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 23 Languages: English Tune Title: MEDITATION
