Retirement and Meditation
Author: Dr. Doddridge Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 184 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 4:4 First Line: Return, my roving heart, return Lyrics: 1 Return, my roving heart, return,
And chase these shadowy forms no more
Seek out some solitude to mourn,
And thy forsaken God implore.
2 O thou great God, whose piercing eye
Distinctly marks each deep recess;
In these sequester'd hours draw nigh,
And with thy presence fill the place.
3 Thro' all the windings of my heart,
My search let heavenly wisdom guide;
And still its radiant beams impart,
'Till all be search'd and purify'd.
4 Then, with the Visits of thy love,
Vouchsafe my inmost soul to cheer;
'Till every grace shall join to prove,
That God hath fix'd his dwelling there.

Vanity of the world
Author: Dr. S. Stennett Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 27 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 4:6 First Line: In vain the giddy world inquires Lyrics: 1 In vain the giddy world inquires,
Forgetful of their God,
"Who will supply our vast desire,
"Or shew us any good?"
2 Thro' the wide circuit of the earth
Their eager wishes rove,
In chace of honor, wealth, and mirth,
The phantoms of their love.
3 But oft these shadowy joys elude
Their most intense pursuit;
Or if they seize the fancied good,
There's poison in the fruit.
4 Lord, from this world call off my love,
Set my affections right:
Bid me aspire to joys above,
And walk no more by sight.
5 O let the glories of thy face
Upon my bosom shine:
Assur'd of thy forgiving grace,
My joys will be divine.

A Trustful Appeal to God
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 4 First Line: My righteous God, Who oft of old Lyrics: 1 My righteous God, Who oft of old
Hast saved from troubles manifold,
Give answer when I call to Thee,
Be gracious now and hear my plea.
2 How long, O men, will ye defame,
How long my glory turn to shame,
How long will ye vain follies prize,
How long pursue deceit and lies?
3 But know, the lord has set apart
The man of godly life and heart
To be His favored one for aye;
Jehovah hears me when I pray.
4 In rev'rence wait, from sin depart,
In meditation calm your heart;
Hold fast the right, be true and just,
And in Jehovah put your trust.
5 O who will show us any good,
Exclaims the faithless multitude;
But lift on us, O lord, we pray,
The brightness of Thy face this day.
6 More joy from Thee has filled my heart
Than great abundance could impart;
I lay me down to peaceful sleep,
For Thou, O Lord, dost safely keep.

Author: John Ellerton (1826-1893) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 850 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 4:8 Lyrics: 1 Saviour, again to thy dear name we raise
with one accord our parting hymn of praise.
Guard thou the lips from sin, the hearts from shame,
that in this house have called upon thy name.
2 Grant us thy peace, Lord, through the coming night;
turn thou for us its darkness into light;
from harm and danger keep thy servants free;
for dark and light are both alike to thee.
3 Grant us thy peace throughout our earthly life;
peace to thy Church from error and from strife;
peace to our land, the fruit of truth and love;
peace in each heart, thy Spirit from above:
4 Thy peace in sorrow, balm of every pain;
thy peace in death, the hope to rise again;
then, when thy voice shall bid our conflict cease,
call us, O Lord, to thine eternal peace. Topics: The Living God Our Response to God - in the morning and evening; God peace of; Purity Of Heart Used With Tune: ELLERS

O Lord, that art my righteous Judge
Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 4 Lyrics: 1 O Lord, that art my righteous Judge,
to my Complaint give Ear.
Thou still redeem'st me from Distress:
Have Mercy, Lord, and hear.
2 How long will ye, O Sons of Men,
to blot my Fame devise?
How long your vain Designs pursue,
and spread malicious Lies?
3 Consider that the righteous Man
is God's peculiar Choice;
And when to him I make my Pray'r,
he always hears my Voice.
4 Then stand in Awe of his Commands,
flee ev'ry Thing that's ill;
Commune in private with your Hearts,
and bind them to his Will.
5 The Place of other Sacrifice
let Righteousness supply;
And let your Hope, securely fix'd,
on God alone rely.
6 While worldly Minds impatient grow,
more prosp'rous Times to see;
Still let the Glories of thy Face
shine brightly, Lord, on me.
7 So shall my Heart o'er flow with Joy
more lasting, and more true,
Than theirs, who Stores of corn and Wine
successively renew.
8 Then down in Peace I'll lay my Head,
and take my needful Rest:
No other Guard, O Lord, I crave,
of thy Defence possest.
O Lord, that art my righteous Judge
O God, Defender of the Poor
Author: Christopher Idle Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 4 Lyrics: 1 O God, defender of the poor,
have mercy when I pray:
you listened to my prayer before--
LORD, hear my prayer today!
you listened to my prayer before--
LORD, hear my prayer today!
2 How long will people choose vain things,
love empty words and wrong?
They scorn to serve the King of kings--
O living God, how long?
They scorn to serve the King of kings--
O living God, how long?
3 The saints, O LORD, you set apart
by grace to be your own:
let sinners tremble, search their hearts,
and bow before your throne;
let sinners tremble, search their hearts,
and bow before your throne.
4 While many pray that you will bless
and bring them all they need,
unless they long for holiness,
their prayers are vain indeed;
unless they long for holiness,
their prayers are vain indeed.
5 Your light, O LORD, let us receive;
your face within us shine,
for richer is the joy you give
than all their grain and wine;
for richer is the joy you give
than all their grain and wine.
6 And even when I turn to sleep
your blessings still increase,
for you alone, O LORD, will keep
your child in perfect peace;
for you alone, O LORD, will keep
your child in perfect peace.
