A Vindication of God's Ways

Hymnal: The Psalter #201b (1912) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Topics: Christians Conflicts of First Line: God loveth the righteous, His goodness is sure Lyrics: 1 God loveth the righteous, His goodness is sure, He never forsaketh the good and the pure; Yet once my faith faltered, I envied the proud, In doubt and disquiet my spirit was bowed. 2 The wicked are prospered and firm is their strength, No pangs do they suffer, though death come at length; They are not in trouble as other men are, The plagues of their fellows they view from afar. 3 In garments of boasting and violence decked, With wealth more abundant than heart could expect, They scoff, and the helpless they proudly oppress, The heav'ns and the earth they assume to possess. 4 Despising God's people, they cause them to drain The cup of oppression, injustice, and pain; They question God's knowledge and boldly defy The might and the justice of God the Most High. 5 The wicked, grown wealthy, have comfort and peace, While I, daily chastened, see troubles increase, And, wronging God's children, I cried in my pain, That clean hands are worthless and pure hearts are vain. 6 I went to God's temple: my doubts were dispelled, The end of life's journey I clearly beheld; I saw in what peril ungodly men stand With sudden destruction and ruin at hand. 7 As when one awaking forgetteth his dream, So God will despise them, though great they may seem; My envy was senseless, my grief was for nought, Because I was faithless, and foolish my thought.

Doubts Overcome by Faith

Hymnal: The Psalter #209 (1912) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christians Conflicts of First Line: To God for help will I repair Lyrics: 1 To God for help will I repair, To God will I direct my prayer, And surely He will answer me, His great salvation I shall see. 2 In long-continued grief I stand And seek the Lord with outstretched hand; I find no comfort for my soul the clouds of darkness o'er me roll. 3 I think of God and call to mind His goodness, yet no peace I find; I still pour out my sad complaints, My burdened spirit almost faints. 4 With sleepless eyes and speechless grief I search the past to find relief, The former years when days were bright And songs of gladness cheered my night. 5 My constant meditations bring My heart to anxious questioning: Has God cast off, and will He be No longer merciful to me? 6 Has God forgotten to be kind? Shall I His promise faithless find? For me shall wrath henceforth replace His tender mercies and His grace? 7 In weakness I was pressed with fear, But better hopes my spirit cheer; Past mercies lead me to rely Upon the help of God Most High. 8 Thy deeds, O Lord, will I relate And on thy wonders meditate; Thy way, O God, is just and right, And none is like to Thee in might. 9 Among the nations Thou hast shown Thy wondrous power and made it known; Thou art the God that mightily Redeemed and set Thy people free. 10 At sight of Thee the waters fled, The quaking clouds their torrents shed, The lightnings flashed, the thunder pealed, The trembling earth her fear revealed. 11 Thy way, O God, was in the sea, But, though Thy paths mysterious be, Thy people Thou didst safely keep As shepherds lead their helpless sheep.

Questionings and Comfort

Hymnal: The Psalter #210 (1912) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christians Conflicts of First Line: To God will I direct my prayer Lyrics: 1 To God will I direct my prayer, And He will make my needs His care; I trust Him still, though in my grief No answer yet has brought relief; With hands stretched out through all the night, Uncomforted I sought for light. 2 The thought of God brought me no peace, But rather made my fears increase; With sleepless eyes and speechless pain My fainting spirit grieved in vain; The blessedness of long ago Made deeper still my present woe. 3 Recalling days when faith was bright, When songs of gladness filled my night, I pondered o'er my grievous woes And searching questioning arose: Will God cast off, and nevermore His favor to my soul restore? 4 I asked in fear and bitterness, Will God forsake me in distress? Shall I His promise faithless find? Has God forgotten to be kind? Has He in anger hopelessly Removed His love and grace from me? 5 These doubts and fears that troubled me Were born of my infirmity; Tho' I am weak, God is most high, And on His goodness I rely; Of all His wonders I will tell, And on His deeds my tho'ts shall dwell.
