Earnest Desire and Supplication
Hymnal: The Psalter #390 (1912) Topics: Afflictions Comfort under; Afflictions Many and Severe; Afflictions Prayer in; Afflictions Refuge in; Afflictions Watchfulness in First Line: Lord, hear me in distress Lyrics: 1 Lord, hear me in distress,
Regard my suppliant cry,
And in Thy faithfulness
And righteousness reply.
In judgment do not cause
Thy servant to be tried;
Before Thy holy laws
No man is justified.
2 To Thee I stretch my hands,
Let me not plead in vain;
I wait as weary lands
Wait for refreshing rain.
O let the morn return,
Let mercy light my day;
For Thee in faith I yearn,
O guide me in the way.
3 By Thy good Spirit led
From trouble and distress,
My erring feet shall tread
The path of uprightness.
O Lord, for Thy Name's sake
Revive my fainting heart;
My soul from trouble take,
For just and true Thou art.

As those eternal arms of love
That every saint surround.

To drive them near to God,
Divine compassion will assuage
The fury of the rod.

And lead them safely on
To the bright gates of paradise,
Where Christ their Lord is gone.

That the old serpent drew,
The wrath that drove him first to hell,
Shall smite his followers too. Scripture: Psalm 125 Languages: English

An Outpouring of Sorrow
Hymnal: The Psalter #240 (1912) Topics: Afflictions Complaint of; Afflictions From God; Afflictions Many and Severe; Afflictions Prayer in First Line: Lord, the God of my salvation Lyrics: 1 Lord, the God of my salvation,
Day and night I cry to Thee;
Let my prayer now find acceptance,
In Thy mercy answer me.
Full of troubles and affliction,
Nigh to death my soul is brought
Helpless, like one cast forever
From Thy care and from Thy thought.
2 Thou hast bro't me down to darkness,
'Neath Thy wrath I am oppressed;
All the billows of affliction
Overwhelm my soul distressed,
Thou hast made my friends despise me,
And companion-less I go,
Bound, and helpless in my bondage,
Pining in my bitter woe.
3 Unto Thee with hands uplifted
Daily I direct my cry;
Hear, O Lord, my supplication,
Hear and save me ere I die.
Wilt Thou wait to show Thy wonders
And Thy mercy to the dead?
Let me live to tell Thy praises,
By Thy loving-kindness led.
4 Still, O Lord, renewed each morning
Unto Thee my prayer shall be;
Cast me not away forever,
Let me now Thy favor see.
All my life is spent in sorrow,
Grief and terror always nigh,
Waves of wrath have surged about me;
Show Thy mercy ere I die.
5 Friend and lover are departed,
Dark and lonely is my way;
Lord, be Thou my friend and helper,
Still to Thee, O Lord, I pray.
Lord, the God of my salvation,
Day and night I cry to Thee;
Let my prayer now find acceptance,
In Thy mercy answer me.

In long complaints before his throne

My God, who all my burdens knows,
Beholds the way I take.

And found my helpers gone,
While friends and strangers past me by
Neglected or unknown.
4 Then did I raise a louder cry,
And call'd thy mercy near,
"Thou art my portion when I die,
"Be thou my refuge here."

Now let thine ear attend,
And make my foes who vex me know
I've an almighty Friend.
6 From my sad prison set me free,
Then shall I praise thy name,
And holy men shall join with me,
Thy kindness to proclaim. Scripture: Psalm 142 Languages: English
