Complaint of heavy Afflictions in Mind an dBody

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #262b (1740) Topics: Doubts and Fears suppressed 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

A Morning Psalm

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #8a (1740) Topics: Doubts and Fears suppressed First Line: O Lord, how many are my Foes Lyrics: 1 O Lord, how many are my Foes, In this weak State of Flesh and Blood! My Peace they daily discompose, But my Defence and Hope is GOD. 2 Tir'd with the Burdens of the Day, To thee I rais'd an Evening Cry: Thou heard'st when I began to pray, And thine Almighty Help was nigh. 3 Supported by thine heav'nly Aid, I laid me down, and slept secure: Not Death should make my Heart afraid, Though I should wake and rise no more. 4 But God sustain'd me all the Night; Salvation doth to GOD belong: He rais'd my Head to see the Light, And make his Praise my Morning Song. Scripture: Psalm 3:1-5 Languages: English

My Trust is in my heav'nly Friend

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P7 (1766) Topics: Doubts and Fears suppressed Lyrics: 1 My Trust is in my heav'nly Friend, My Hope in Thee, my GOD; Rise, and my helpless Life defend From those that seek my Blood. 2 With Insolence and Fury they My Soul in Pieces tear, As hungry Lions rend the Prey, When no Deliverer's near. 3 If I had e'er provok'd them first, Or once abus'd my Foe, Then let him tread my Life to Dust, And lay mine Honour low. 4 If there be Malice found in me, I know thy piercing Eyes; I should not dare appeal to Thee, Nor ask my GOD to rise. 5 Arise, my GOD, lift up thy Hand, Their Pride and Pow'r controul; Awake to Judgment, and command Deliv'rance for my Soul. Pause. 6 [Let Sinners, and their wicked Rage Be humbled to the Dust; Shall not the GOD of Truth engage To vindicate the Just? 7 He knows the Heart, he tries the Reigns, He will defend th' Upright: His sharpest Arrows he ordains Against the Sons of Spite. 8 For me their Malice digg'd a Pit, But there themselves are cast; My GOD makes all their Mischiefs light On their own Heads at last.] 9 That cruel persecuting Race Must feel his dreadful Sword: Awake my Soul, and praise the Grace And Justice of the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 7 Languages: English

Next to thine Angels is he plac'd, And Lord of all below. 5 Thine Honours crown his Head, While Beasts, like Slaves obey, And Birds that cut the Air with Wings, And Fish that cleave the Sea. 6 How rich thy Bounties are!

[O sinners, come and taste his love, Come, learn his pleasant ways; And let your own experience prove The sweetness of his grace. He bids his angels pitch their tents Round where his children dwell; What ills their heav'nly care prevents No earthly tongue can tell.] [O love the Lord, ye saints of his; His eye regards the just: How richly blest their portion is Who make the Lord their trust! Young lions, pinched with hunger, roar And famish in the wood; But God supplies his holy poor With every needful good.] Scripture: Psalm 34:1-10 Languages: English

When desolation, like a flood, O'er the proud sinner rolls, Saints find a refuge in their God, For he redeemed their souls. Scripture: Psalm 34:11-22 Languages: English

Blest Morning, whose young dawning Rays

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.LXXII (1766) Topics: Fears and Doubts suppressed Lyrics: 1 Blest Morning, whose first dawning Rays Beheld our rising God, That saw him triumph o'er the Dust, And leave his dark Abode. 2 In the cold Prison of a Tomb, The dead Redeemer lay, Till the revolving Skies had brought The Third, th’ appointed Day. 3 Hell and the Grave unite their Force To hold our God in vain, The sleeping Conqueror arose, And burst their feeble Chain. 4 To thy great Name, Almighty Lord, These sacred Hours we pay, And loud Hosannas shall proclaim The Triumphs of the Day. [5 Salvation and immortal Praise To our victorious King; Let Heav’n, and Earth, and Rocks and Seas, With glad Hosannas ring.] Languages: English
