Hallowed Memories

Hymnal: The Psalter #212a (1912) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Despondency First Line: I thought upon the days of old Lyrics: 1 I thought upon the days of old, The years departed long, I held communion with my heart, By night recalled my song. 2 My heart inquired with anxious care, Will God forever spurn? Shall we no more His favor see? Will mercy ne'er return? 3 Forever shall His promise fail? Has God forgotten grace? Has He withdrawn His tender love, In anger hid His face? 4 These doubts are my infirmity, My thoughts at once reply; I call back years of God's right hand, The years of God Most High. 5 I will commemorate, O Lord, Thy wondrous deeds of old, And meditate upon Thy works Of pow'r and grace untold. 6 O God, most holy is Thy way, Most perfect, good, and right; Thou art the only living God, The God of wondrous might.

An Outpouring of Sorrow

Hymnal: The Psalter #240 (1912) Topics: Despondency 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. Scripture: Psalm 88 Languages: English Tune Title: IRVING

Assurance

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Laudes Domini #240 (1888) Topics: Despondency First Line: Why should the children of a King Lyrics: 1 Why should the children of a King Go mourning all their days? Great Comforter, descend, and bring Some tokens of thy grace. 2 Dost thou not dwell in all the saints, And seal the heirs of heaven? When wilt thou banish my complaints, And show my sins forgiven? 3 Assure my conscience of her part In the Redeemer's blood; And bear thy witness with my heart, That I am born of God. 4 Thou art the earnest of his love, The pledge of joys to come; And thy soft wings, celestial Dove, Will safe convey me home.

God the Righteous Judge

Hymnal: The Psalter #253 (1912) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Despondency First Line: O Lord, Thou Judge of all the earth Lyrics: 1 O Lord, Thou Judge of all the earth, To Whom all vengeance doth belong, Arise and show Thy glory forth, Requite the proud, condemn the wrong. 2 How long, O Lord, in boastful pride Shall wicked men triumphant stand? How long shall they afflict Thy saints And devastate Thy chosen land? 3 The widow and the fatherless They slay, and helpless strangers smith; The faithful God they do not fear, They say the Lord will not requite. 4 Be wise, ye fools and brutish men; Shall not He see Who formed the eye? Shall not He hear Who formed the ear, And judge, Who reigneth, God Most High? 5 The Lord will judge in righteousness, From Him all truth and knowledge flow; The foolish thoughts of wicked men, How vain they are the Lord doth know. 6 That man is blest whom Thou, O Lord, With chastening hand dost teach Thy will, For in the day when sinners fall That man in peace abideth still. 7 The Lord will not cast off His own, Nor His inheritance forsake; Just judgment shall at length prevail, And upright hearts shall courage take. 8 Who will arise for my defense Against the wicked in the land? Against iniquity and wrong What man for me will valiant stand? 9 Unless the Lord had been my help, My life had quickly passed away; But when my foot had almost slipped, O Lord, Thy mercy was my stay. 10 Amid the doubts that fill my mind Thy comforts, Lord, bring joy to me; Can wickedness, though throned in might, Have fellowship, O Lord, with Thee? 11 The wicked, in their might arrayed, Against the righteous join their power, But to the Lord I flee for help, He is my refuge and my tower. 12 Our God, the refuge of His saints, Will fight against iniquity; Avenger of the innocent The Lord omnipotent will be.

Affliction and Appeal

Hymnal: The Psalter #272 (1912) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Despondency First Line: Lord, hear my prayer, and let my cry Lyrics: 1 Lord, hear my prayer, and let my cry Have ready access unto Thee; When in distress to thee i fly, O hide not thou thy face from me. 2 Attend, o Lord, to my desire, O haste to answer when I pray, For grief consumes my strength like fire, My days as smoke pass swift away. 3 My heart is withered like the grass, And I forget my daily bread; In lonely grief my days I pass And sad my thoughts upon my bed. 4 My foes reproach me all the day, My drink is tars, my bread is grief, For in Thy wrath I pine away, My days are like a fading leaf.

Clinging to Christ

Author: Charlotte Elliott Hymnal: Laudes Domini #291 (1888) Topics: Despondency First Line: O Holy Saviour! Friend unseen Lyrics: 1 O Holy Saviour! Friend unseen, Since on thine arm thou bid'st me lean, Help me, throughout life's changing scene, By faith to cling to thee! 2 Without a murmur I dismiss My former dreams of earthly bliss; My joy, my recompense be this, Each hour to cling to thee! 3 What though the world deceitful prove, And earthly friends and hopes remove; With patient, uncomplaining love, Still would I cling to thee. 4 Though oft I seem to tread alone Life's dreary waste, with thorns o'ergrown, Thy voice of love, in gentlest tone, Still whispers, "Cling to me!" 5 Though faith and hope are often tried, I ask not, need not, aught beside; So safe, so calm, so satisfied, The soul that clings to thee!
