O Thou, in Whose Presence

Author: Joseph Swain Meter: 11.8.11.8 D Appears in 497 hymnals First Line: O thou, in whose presence my soul takes delight Lyrics: 1 O thou, in whose presence my soul takes delight, on whom in affliction I call, my comfort by day, and my song in the night, my hope, my salvation, my all: Where dost thou, dear Shepherd, resort with thy sheep to feed in the pastures of love? Say, why in the valley of death should I weep or lone in the wilderness rove? 2 Oh, why should I wander an alien from thee or cry in the desert for bread? Thy foes will rejoice when my sorrows they see and smile at the tears I have shed. Yet speak, and ten thousands of angels rejoice; thy soul-cheering wisdom impart. Eternity echoes the sound of thy voice that reaches my desolate heart.

How blest thine inhabitants are! When weary of toiling, I think of the day— Who knows if its dawning be near— When He who doth love me shall call me away From all that hath burdened me here.

God, bring to fruition your will for the earth, that no one shall hurt or destroy, when wisdom and justice shall reign in the land and your people shall go forth in joy.

O God, Hear My Prayer; Let My Cry Come to You

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. Meter: 11.8.11.8 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 O God, hear my prayer; let my cry come to you, and turn not your face from my need. My days fade like smoke, all my bones burn like coals, my heart has dried up like a reed. I moan like an owl or a lone rooftop bird, while enemies taunt night and day. Because of your anger, my bread tastes like ash, while life wanes and withers away. 2 Yet you are the true God whose throne will endure, whose ways are both righteous and just. Restore now the city your servants hold dear, who cherish its stones and its dust. Of old you have pitied the prisoners' groans, freed those under sentence of death. Once more for your glory reveal your great might, and we shall sing praise with each breath. 3 My strength fades and fails in the midst of my days, my life-span feels suddenly brief. To you, ageless God, will I make my appeal; preserve me and grant me relief. You still will remain when the works of your hands are shrugged off like clothing out-worn. May praise from the people who honor your name continue through ages unborn.

He Answered Never a Word

Author: Anonymous Meter: 11.8.11.8 D Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: A friendless prisoner at Pilate's bar Refrain First Line: But he answered never a word Lyrics: 1 A friendless pris’ner at Pilate’s bar, ’Mid the raging mob He stood; Like wolves that had scented His blood from afar And eagerly Him pursued; The voice of these murd’rers was heard as they cried, Till Jerusalem’s city was stirred; “Away with Him, let Him be crucified”; But He answered never a word. 2 The priests and the elders with fiendish spite, Accused Him of many things; But His face was radiant with heavenly light, He could hear the sound of wings; And Pilate marveled to see Him there, As each wicked charge he heard, His mute lips moved as in silent prayer, But He answered never a word. 3 With fiercest hatred his foes pressed on, To kill Him their greatest desire; The faith of His foll’wers was almost gone, Must the last faint spark expire? Will He meekly yield in His dreadful hour, When a murderer is preferred? He who raised the dead, has He lost His pow’r? But He answered never a word. 4 Then they brought the cross that Barabbas should fill, He, a murderer, now to go free; And they laid in on Jesus to bear up the hill, To purchase salvation for me; Though hungry and thirsty, and bleeding and cold, Not a sigh passed His lips that was heard; He trembled a moment, then sank to the ground, But He answered never a word. 5 The rabble with spite and revenge urged them on, Till He came to Calvary’s brow, Where they nailed His hands and His feet to the cross— O sinner, look on him now! Then raising the cross, oh, what suff’ring and pain! Till the earth and the heavens were stirred, But the suffering Jesus with meekness endured, But He answered never a word. 6 But there hung by His side a thief, broken and sad, With sins that were all his own, And he cried, “Dear Lord, remember me When Thou sittest on Thy throne”; And the Savior turned and looked upon him, His compassion deep was stirred; And peace, sweet peace He shed o’er that soul— He could answer him with a word.
