Desertion and Hope; or, Complaint of Absence from public Worship

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #76b (1740) Topics: Complaint of the Absence from Public Worship First Line: With earnest Longings of the Mind Lyrics: 1 With earnest Longings of the Mind, My GOD to Thee I look; So pants the hunted Hart to find And taste the cooling Brook. 2 When shall I see thy Courts of Grace, And meet my God again? So long an Absence from thy Face My Heart endures with Pain. 3 Temptations vex my weary Soul, And Tears are my Repast; The Foe insults without Controul, "And where's your GOD at last?" 4 'Tis with a mournful Pleasure now I think on ancient Days; Then to thy House did Numbers go, And all our Work was Praise. 5 But why, my Soul, sunk down so far Beneath this heavy Load? Why do my Thoughts indulge Despair, And sin against my GOD? 6 Hope in the Lord, whose mighty Hand Can all thy Woes remove, For I shall yet before him stand, And sing restoring Love. Scripture: Psalm 42:3-5 Languages: English

Prayer for Protection

Hymnal: The Psalter #165 (1912) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Prayer Complaint in First Line: Hear, Lord, the voice of my complaint Lyrics: 1 Hear Lord, the voice of my complaint, Preserve my life from fear, Hide me from plotting enemies And evil crowding near. The workers of iniquity Their deadly shafts prepare; They aim at me their treach'rous words; O save me from their snare. 2 The wicked in their base designs Grow arrogant and bold; Conspiring secretly they think That God will not behold; They search out more iniquity, Their tho'ts and plans are deep, But God will smite, for He is near His saints to guard and keep. 3 The wicked, by their sins o'ercome, Shall soon be bro't to shame; The hand of God shall yet appear, And all shall fear His Name. The just shall triumph in the Lord, Their trust shall be secure, And endless glory then shall crown The upright and the pure. Scripture: Psalm 64 Languages: English Tune Title: MONORA

Complaint of heavy Afflictions in Mind an dBody

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #262b (1740) Topics: Complaint of heavy Afflctions of Mind and Body 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
