Author: Medley Hymnal: A Collection of Evangelical Hymns #CLII (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Affliction First Line: With joy let each afflicted saint Lyrics: 1 With joy let each afflicted saint
This cheering truth behold,
That when he's try'd he shall not faint,
But shall come forth as gold.
2 This privilege, dear Lord, I claim,
Nor am I here too bold,
That from the trying, fiery flame,
I may come forth as gold.
3 What tho' the furnace burns on high,
Still to this truth I'll hold,
'Tis but design'd my soul to try—
I shall come forth as gold.
4 Herein his wisdom and his love
Will God to me unfold,
And from the furnace I shall prove,
He'll bring me forth as gold.
5 He'll kindly thus consume my dross,
So in his word I'm told,
Nor can I suffer real loss,
But shall come forth as gold.
6 Thus he'll conform me to his word,
And cast me in that mould;
And, through the goodness of my God,
I shall come forth as gold.
7 Thus will I sing his praises here,
Whose mercies are of old;
And when in glory I appear,
I shall come forth as gold. Scripture: Job 23:10 Languages: English
When he hath tried me, I shall come forth as Gold

O GOD! to whom Revenge belongs
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P94a (1766) Topics: Afflicted Instruction by them; Afflicted of Saints and Sinners different; Afflicted sanctified; Instructive Affliction Lyrics: 1 O GOD! to whom Revenge belongs,
Proclaim thy Wrath aloud;
Let sov'reign Pow'r redress our Wrongs,
Let Justice smite the Proud.
2 They say, The Lord nor sees nor hears;
When will the Fools be wise?
Can he be deaf, who form'd their Ears?
Or blind, who made their Eyes?
3 He knows their impious Thoughts are vain,
And they shall feel his Pow'r;
His Wrath shall pierce their Souls with Pain
In some surprising Hour.
4 But if thy Saints deserve Rebuke,
Thou hast a gentler Rod;
Thy Providences and thy Book
Shall make them know their GOD.
5 Blest is the Man thy Hands chastise,
And to his Duty draw;
Thy Scourges make thy Children wise
When they forget thy Law.
6 But GOD will ne'er cast off his Saints,
Nor his own Promise break;
He pardons his Inheritance
For their Redeemer's Sake. Scripture: Psalm 94:1-2 Languages: English
O GOD! to whom Revenge belongs
Who will arise and plead my Right
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P94b (1766) Topics: Afflicted Instruction by them; Afflicted of Saints and Sinners different; Afflicted sanctified; Instructive Affliction Lyrics: 1 Who will arise and plead my Right
Against my num'rous Foes,
While Earth and Hell their Force unite,
And all my Hopes oppose?
2 Had not the Lord, my Rock, my Help,
Sustain'd my fainting Head,
My Life had now in Silence dwelt,
My Soul amongst the Dead.
3 Alas! my sliding Feet! I cry'd.
Thy Promise was my Prop;
Thy Grace stood constant by my Side,
Thy Spirit bore me up.
4 While Multitudes of mournful Thoughts
Within my Bosom roll,
Thy boundless Love forgives my Faults,
Thy Comforts chear my Soul.
5 Pow'rs of Iniquity may rise,
And frame pernicious Laws;
But GOD my Refuge, rules the Skies,
He will defend my Cause.
6 Let Malice vent her Rage aloud,
Let bold Blasphemers scoff;
The Lord our GOD shall judge the Proud,
And cut the Sinners off. Scripture: Psalm 94:16-23 Languages: English
Who will arise and plead my Right
My righteous Judge, my gracious GOD
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P143 (1766) Topics: Afflicted from Men; Afflicted their prayer; Afflicted very great; Hope in Affliction 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
My righteous Judge, my gracious GOD

And cut the Sinners off. Scripture: Psalm 94:16-23 Languages: English

O Thou, to whose all-searching sight

The darkness shineth as the light,
Search, prove my heart; it pants for Thee;
O burst these bonds, and set it free!
2 Wash out its stains, refine its dross,
Nail my affections to the cross;
Hallow each thought; let all within
Be clean, as Thou, my Lord, art clean!
3 If in this darksome wild I stray,
Be Thou my Light, be Thou my Way;
No foes, no violence I fear,
No fraud, while Thou, my God, art near.
4 When rising floods my soul o'erflow,
When sinks my heart in waves of woe,
Jesus, Thy timely aid impart,
And raise my head, and cheer my heart.
5 Saviour, where'er Thy steps I see,
Dauntless, untired, I follow Thee;
O let Thy hand support me still,
And lead me to Thy holy hill!
6 If rough and thorny be the way,
My strength proportion to my day;
Till toil, and grief, and pain shall cease,
Where all is calm, and joy, and peace. Languages: English Tune Title: OMBERSLEY
O Thou, to whose all-searching sight
