How great was our dear Lord's distress

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 22 Lyrics: 1 How great was our dear Lord's distress; His trials how severe: When in a howling wilderness, He strove with Satan there. 2 That foe assault's him with disdain; Thou art here left alone, To suffer hunger, thirst and pain-- Would God forsake his son! 3 Now to supply thy present need; Art thou the son of God! Command these stones that they be bread, Supply thyself with food. 4 May we reply as Jesus did, When we are tempted too! This is the means, by which we rid, Ourselves of such a foe. 5 Man does not live by bread alone, But by that sacred word: By which all things are made and done, As order'd by the Lord. 6 In various ways the tempter tried, To cause the Saviour's fall; But was defeated and defied, And miss'd his aim in all. 7 Christ conquer'd and he gain'd the day, In all he overcame-- To him we look, to him we pray, And we shall do the same. 8 To his dear word and promises, We ever have recourse; In him always have we success, To banish Satan's force.

My God, My God, O Why Hast Thou?

Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 22 First Line: My God, my God, O why hast Thou Lyrics: 1 My God, my God, O why hast Thou In my distress forsaken me? O why so far from giving help, And from my agonizing plea? By day, my God, I cry in vain, By night, yet no relief I gain. 2 Reproached of men, by all despised, A worm and not a man am I; All they that see me laugh in scorn, They nod, shoot out the lip, and cry, "He trusts the Lord, let Him defend And save him since He is his friend." 3 Thou gavest life, Thou mad'st me trust When I was on my mother's breast; From birth dependent on Thy care, Thou art my God, in Thee I rest. Be not far off, for grief is nigh; There's none om whom I can rely. 4 My life like water is poured out; My bones all out of joint do part; And like a shard my strength is dried; Like wax so melted is my heart; My tongue and jaws together cling, And Thou to death my soul dost bring. 5 Like dogs the wicked close me in, Yea, they have pierced my hands and feet, And I may number all my bones; They look and stare who round me meet; My garments 'mong them they divide, And on my robe by lot decide.
