blest by thee, with thee be passed,

we may keep thy feast at last.

Your gracious presence lend me;
Lord, lead Your helpless child;
Your Holy Spirit send me
That I my course may run.
O be my light, my lot,
My staff, my rock, my shield--
O God, forsake me not!
2 O God, forsake me not!
Take not Your Spirit from me;
Do not permit the might
Of sin to overcome me.
Increase my feeble faith,
Which You alone have wrought.
O be my strength and pow'r--
O God, forsake me not!
3 O God, forsake me not!
Lord, hear my supplication!
In ev'ry evil hour
Help me resist temptation;
And when the prince of hell
My conscience seeks to blot,
Be then not far from me--
O God, forsake me not!
4 O God, forsake me not!
Lord, I am Yours forever.
O keep me strong in faith
That I may leave You never.
Grant me a blessed end
When my good fight is fought;
Help me in life and death--
O God, forsake me not!

are shed upon us from above,
throughout our lives in every stage,
from infancy to later age.
We thank you, Lord, for dreams of youth,
for wisdom leading on to truth,
for memories gathered through the years,
and faith that grows from joys and tears.
2 All time is yours, O Lord, to give.
May we, in all the years we live,
find that each day of life is new,
a celebration, Lord, with you.
Let not the passing of the years
rob us of joy or cause us fears,
and may our faith, O Lord, hold true,
that we may always rest in you. Used With Tune: LAMB OF GOD

When Aimless Violence Takes Those We Love
Author: Joy F. Patterson, 1931- Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 71:1-18 Lyrics: 1 When aimless violence takes those we love,
when random death strikes childhood's promise down,
when wrenching loss becomes our daily bread,
we know, O God, you leave us not alone.
2 When passing years rob sight and strength and mind
yet fail to still a strongly beating heart,
and grief becomes the fabric of our days,
dear Lord, you do not stand from us apart.
3 Our faith may flicker low, and hope grow dim,
yet you, O God, are with us in our pain;
you grieve with us and for us day by day,
and with us, sharing sorrow, will remain.
4 Because your Son knew agony and loss,
felt desolation, grief, and scorn and shame,
we know you will be with us, come what may,
your loving presence near, always the same.
5 Through long, grief-darkened days help us, dear Lord,
to trust your grace for courage to endure,
to rest our souls in your supporting love,
and find our hope within your mercy sure.

who long to see me fall.

then shall I sing with all my heart
how you have dealt with me. Topics: Difficult Times; Lament Individual Used With Tune: MARTYRDOM
