Thy word have I hid in my heart
Hymnal: The Hymnal #R24 (1950) Lyrics: Thy word have I hid in my heart,

Blessed art Thou, O Lord my God:

Thy word have I hid in my heart
When rising from the bed of death
Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #H3 (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 When rising from the bed of death,
o’erwhelm'd with guilt and fear,
I see my Maker face to face,
O how shall I appear!
2 If yet while pardon may be found,
and mercy may be sought,
my heart with inward horror shrinks;
and trembles at the thought;
3 When thou, O Lord! shalt stand disclos'd
in majesty severe,
and sit in judgement on my soul,
O how shall I appear!
4 But thou hast told the troubled mind,
who doth her sins lament,
the timely grief for errors past
shall future woe prevent.
5 Then see the sorrows of my heart,
ere yet it be too late;
and hear my Saviour’s dying groans,
to give those sorrows weight.
6 For never shall my soul despair
of mercy at thy throne,
Who knows thine only Son has dy'd
thy justice to atone. Languages: English Tune Title: CHESHIRE
When rising from the bed of death
How long wilt thou forget me, Lord?
Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #P13a (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 How 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?
2 How long take counsel in my soul,
still sad in heart, shall I?
How long exalted over me
shall be mine enemy?
3 O Lord my God, consider well,
and answer to me make:
mine eyes enlighten, lest the sleep
of death me overtake.
4 Lest that my enemy should say,
against him I prevail;
and those that trouble me rejoice,
when I am moved and fail.
5 But I have all my confidence
upon thy mercy set;
my heart within me shall rejoice
in thy salvation great.
6 Unto Jehovah then will I
sing praises cheerfully,
because he hath his bounty shown
to me abundantly.

Lord, it belongs not to my care
But, wroth with thine anointed, thou
Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #P89e (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 38 But, wroth with thine anointed, thou
renounced and loathed him hast;
39 his covenant made void, his crown
to earth profaned cast.
40 His hedges all hast broke down,
his strong-holds down hast torn.
41 He is a spoil to passers-by,
to neighbours all a scorn.
42 Thou hast set up his foes’ right hand;
made all his enemies glad:
43 turned his sword’s edge, and him to stand
in battle hast not made.
44 His glory thou hast made to cease,
his throne to ground down cast;
45 thou shortened hast his days of youth,
with shame him covered hast.
46 How long, Lord, wilt thou hide thyself?
for ever, in thine ire?
and shall thine indignation hot
burn like unto a fire?
47 Remember, Lord, how short a time
I shall on earth remain:
O wherefore is it so that thou
hast made all men in vain?
48 What man is he that liveth here,
and death shall never see?
Or from the power of the grave
what man his soul shall free?
49 Thy former loving-kindnesses,
O Lord, where be they now?
Those which in truth and faithfulness
to David sworn hast thou?
50 Mind, Lord, thy servant’s sad reproach;
I in my bosom bear
the scornings of the people all,
who strong and mighty are:
51 and that thine enemies, O Lord,
have cast reproach upon,
have cast reproach upon the steps
of thine anointed one.
52 All blessing to the Lord our God
let be ascribed then:
for evermore so let it be.

My soul for thy salvation faints
Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #P119k (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: CAPH THE ELEVENTH PART
81 My soul for thy salvation faints;
yet I thy word believe.
82 mine eyes fail for thy word: I say,
When wilt thou comfort give?
83 For like a bottle I’m become,
that in the smoke is set:
but till thy righteous statutes, Lord,
I never do forget.
84 How many are thy servant’s days?
when wilt thou execute
just judgment on these wicked men
that do me persecute?
85 The proud have digged pits for me,
which is against thy laws.
86 Thy words all faithful are: help me,
pursued without a cause.
87 They so consumed me, that on earth
my life they scarce did leave:
thy precepts yet forsook I not,
but close to them did cleave.
88 After thy loving-kindness, Lord,
me quicken and preserve:
the testimony of thy mouth
so shall I still observe. Scripture: Psalm 119:81-88 Languages: English Tune Title: CHESHIRE

Whether I die or live;
To love and serve thee is my share,
And this thy grace must give.
2 If life be long, I will be glad
That I may long obey;
If short, yet why should I be sad
To welcome endless day?
3 Christ leads me through no darker rooms
Than he went through before;
He that into God's kingdom comes
Must enter by this door.
4 Come, Lord, when grace has made me meet
Thy blessèd face to see;
For if thy work on earth be sweet,
What will thy glory be?
5 My knowledge of that life is small,
The eye of faith is dim;
But 'tis enough that Christ knows all,
And I shall be with him. Topics: The Church Year Lent; The Life In Christ Comfort and Rest; The Life In Christ Life Everlasting; The Life in Christ Repentance and Faith Languages: English Tune Title: CHESHIRE

Lord, from the Ill and Froward Man
Author: Anonymous Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #3686 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Lord, from the ill and froward man
Give me deliverance,
And do Thou safe preserve me from
The man of violence:
2. Who in their heart mischievous things
Are meditating e’er;
And they for war assembled are
Continually together.
3. Much like unto a serpent’s tongue
Their tongues they sharp do make;
And underneath their lips there lies
The poison of a snake.
4. Lord, keep me from the wicked’s hands,
From violent men me save;
Who utterly to overthrow
My goings purposed have.
5. The proud for me a snare have hid,
And cords; yea, they a net
Have by the wayside for me spread;
They gins for me have set.
6. I said unto the Lord, Thou art
My God: unto the cry
Of all my supplications,
Lord, do Thine ear apply.
7. O God the Lord, who art the strength
Of my salvation:
A cov’ring in the day of war
My head Thou hast put on.
8. Unto the wicked man, O Lord,
His wishes do not grant;
Nor further Thou his ill device,
Lest they themselves should vaunt.
9. As for the head and chief of those
About that compass me,
E’en by the mischief of their lips
Let Thou them covered be.
10. Let burning coals upon them fall,
Them throw in fiery flame,
And in deep pits, that they no more
May rise out of the same.
11. Let not an evil speaker be
On earth establishèd:
Mischief shall hunt the violent man,
Till he be ruinèd.
12. I know God will th’afflicted’s cause
Maintain, and poor men’s right.
Surely the just shall praise Thy name;
Th’upright dwell in Thy sight. Languages: English Tune Title: CHESHIRE

Rulers of Sodom! Hear the Voice
Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5857 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Rulers of Sodom! hear the voice
Of Heav’n’s eternal Lord;
Men of Gomorrah! bend your ear
Submissive to His Word.
2. ’Tis thus He speaks; to what intent
Are your oblations vain?
Why load My altars with your gifts,
Polluted and profane?
3. Burnt offerings long may blaze to Heav’n,
And incense cloud the skies;
The worship and the worshipper
Are hateful in My eyes.
4. Your rites, your fasts, your prayers, I scorn,
And pomp of solemn days:
I know your hearts are full of guile,
And crooked are your ways.
5. But cleanse your hands, ye guilty race,
And cease from deeds of sin;
Learn in your actions to be just,
And pure in heart within.
6. Mock not My name with honors vain,
But keep My holy laws;
Do justice to the friendless poor,
And plead the widow’s cause.
7. Then, though your guilty souls are stained
With sins of crimson dye,
Yet, through My grace with snow itself
In whiteness they shall vie. Languages: English Tune Title: CHESHIRE

Save Me, O God, the Swelling Floods
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6158 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Save me, O God, the swelling floods
Break in upon my soul;
I sink, and sorrows o’er my head
Like mighty waters roll.
2. I cry till all my voice be gone,
In tears I waste the day:
My God, behold my longing eyes,
And shorten Thy delay.
3. They hate my soul without a cause,
And still their number grows
More than the hairs around my head,
And mighty are my foes.
4. ’Twas then I paid that dreadful debt
That men could never pay,
And gave those honors to Thy law
Which sinners took away.
5. Thus in the great Messiah’s name,
The royal prophet mourns;
Thus he awakes our hearts to grief,
And gives us joy by turns.
6. Now shall the saints rejoice, and find
Salvation in My name;
For I have borne their heavy load
Of sorrow, pain, and shame.
7. Grief, like a garment, clothed Me round,
And sackcloth was My dress,
While I procured for naked souls
A robe of righteousness.
8. Amongst My brethren and the Jews
I like a stranger stood,
And bore their vile reproach, to bring
The Gentiles near to God.
9. I came in sinful mortals’ stead,
To do My Father’s will;
Yet when I cleansed My Father’s house,
They scandalized My zeal.
10. My fasting and My holy groans
Were made the drunkard’s song;
But God, from His celestial throne,
Heard My complaining tongue.
11. He saved Me from the dreadful deep,
Nor let My soul be drowned;
He raised and fixed My sinking feet
On well-established ground.
12. ’Twas in a most accepted hour
My prayer arose on high;
And for My sake my God shall hear
The dying sinner’s cry. Languages: English Tune Title: CHESHIRE

Weep Not for Him Who Onward Bears
Author: Thomas B. Pollock Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7574 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Weep not for Him who onward bears
His cross to Calvary;
He does not ask man’s pitying tears,
Who wills for man to die.
2. The awful sorrow of His face,
The bowing of His frame,
Come not from torture or disgrace;
He fears not cross or shame.
3. There is a deeper pang of grief,
An agony unknown,
In which His love finds no relief;
He bears it all alone.
4. He thinks of all for whom His life
Of lowliness and pain,
And weariness and care and strife,
Will be, alas, in vain.
5. He sees the souls for whom He dies
Yet clinging to their sin,
And heirs of mansions in the skies
Who will not enter in.
6. Ah! this, my Savior, was the shame
That bowed Thy head so low;
These were the wounds that racked Thy frame,
And made Thy tears to flow.
7. O may I in Thy sorrow share,
And mourn that sins of mine
Should ever wound with grief or care
That loving heart of Thine. Languages: English Tune Title: CHESHIRE

Woe to the Men on Earth Who Dwell
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7580 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Woe to the men on earth who dwell,
Nor dread the Almighty’s frown,
When God doth all His wrath reveal,
And shower His judgments down!
2. Sinners, expect those heaviest showers,
To meet your God prepare;
For, lo! the seventh angel pours
His phial in the air.
3. Lo! from their seats the mountains leap,
The mountains are not found;
Transported far into the deep,
And in the ocean drowned.
4. Who then shall live, and face the throne,
And face the Judge severe?
When heaven and earth are fled and gone,
O where shall I appear?
5. Now, only now, against that hour
We may a place provide;
Beyond the grave, beyond the power
Of hell, our spirits hide:
6. Firm in the all destroying shock,
May view the final scene;
For, lo! the everlasting Rock
Is cleft to take us in. Languages: English Tune Title: CHESHIRE

When the Great Judge
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7687 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: When the great judge, supreme and just Lyrics: 1. When the great judge, supreme and just,
Shall once inquire for blood,
The humble souls that mourn in dust
Shall find a faithful God.
2. He from the dreadful gates of death
Does His own children raise;
In Zion’s gates, with cheerful breath,
They sing their Father’s praise.
3. His foes shall fall, with heedless feet,
Into the pit they made;
And sinners perish in the net
That their own hands had spread.
4. Thus, by Thy judgments, mighty God,
Are Thy deep counsels known;
When men of mischief are destroyed,
The snare must be their own.
5. The wicked shall sink down to hell;
Thy wrath devour the lands
That dare forget Thee, or rebel
Against Thy known commands.
6. Though saints to sore distress are brought,
And wait and long complain,
Their cries shall not be still forgot,
Nor shall their hopes be vain.
7. Rise, great Redeemer, from Thy seat,
To judge and save the poor;
Let nations tremble at Thy feet,
And man prevail no more.
8. Thy thunder shall affright the proud,
And put their hearts to pain;
Make them confess that Thou art God,
And they but feeble men. Languages: English Tune Title: CHESHIRE

As lightning swift they fly to save,
And fly as swift to kill.
4 Earth trembles at one look of His,
And mighty seas retire:
Touched by His hand, the mountains smoke,
And pour down liquid fire.
5 Great as His power, so great His grace,
For mercy guards His throne:
By mercy more than by His wrath
He chooses to be known.

With sacred awe of Thee;
So shall Thy power, and boundless grace,
My constant refuge be. Languages: English Tune Title: CHESHIRE

Bespeaks His presence nigh;
No earthly beauty shines in Him
To draw the carnal eye.
2 Rejected and despised of men,
Behold a Man of woe!
And grief His close companion still
Through all His life below!
3 Yet all the griefs He felt were ours,
Ours were the woes He bore:
Pangs, not His own, His spotless soul,
With bitter anguish tore.
4 We held Him as condemned of heaven,
An outcast from His God;
While for our sins He groaned, He bled,
Beneath His Father's rod.
5 His sacred Blood hath washed our souls
From sin's polluting stain;
His stripes have healed us, and His Death
Revived our souls again.
6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
In ruin’s fatal road:
On Him were our transgressions laid;
He bore the mighty load.
7 He died to bear the guilt of men,
That sin might be forgiven:
He lives to bless them and defend,
And plead their cause in heaven. Topics: Passion Week; Lent, Sixth Sunday; Passion Week Scripture: Isaiah 53 Languages: English Tune Title: CHESHIRE

Author: William H. Bathurst Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5333 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. O Savior, may we never rest
Till Thou art formed within,
Till Thou hast calmed our troubled breast,
And crushed the power of sin.
2. O may we gaze upon Thy cross,
Until the wondrous sight
Makes earthly treasures seem but dross,
And earthly sorrows light.
3. Until, released from carnal ties,
Our spirit upward springs,
And sees true peace above the skies,
True joy in heavenly things.
4. There as we gaze, may we become
United, Lord, to Thee,
And, in a fairer, happier home,
Thy perfect beauty see. Languages: English Tune Title: CHESHIRE
