Lord, hear my prayer, regard my cries

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, hear my prayer, regard my cries; and in thy faithfulness give thou an answer unto me, and in thy righteousness. 2 Thy servant also bring thou not in judgment to be tried: because no living man can be in thy sight justified. 3 Because the foe pursues my soul, my life to earth doth tread; in darkness he hath made me dwell, as those that are long dead. 4 My spirit, then, is overwhelmed with sore perplexity; within me is my very heart amazed wondrously. 5 I call to mind the days of old, I think upon thy deeds; on all the work I meditate which from thy hand proceeds. 6 My hands to thee I stretch; my soul thirsts as dry land for thee. 7 Haste, Lord, to hear, my spirit fails: hide not thy face from me; Lest like to them I do become that go down to the dust. 8 At morn let me thy kindness hear; for in thee do I trust. Teach me the way that I should walk: I lift my soul to thee. 9 Lord, free me from my foes; I flee to thee to cover me. 10 Because thou art my God, to do thy will do me instruct: good is thy Spirit, in a land that plain is me conduct. 11 Revive and quicken me, O Lord, even for thine own name’s sake; and do thou, in thy righteousness, my soul from trouble take. 12 And of thy mercy slay my foes; let all destroyed be that do afflict my soul: for I a servant am to thee.

With me thy servant, in thy grace

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: GIMEL THE THIRD PART 17 With me thy servant, in thy grace, deal bountifully, Lord: that by thy favoUr I may live, and duly keep thy word. 18 Open mine eyes, that of thy law the wonders I may see. 19 I am a stranger on this earth, hide not thy laws from me. 20 My soul within me breaks, and doth much fainting still endure, through longing that it hath all times unto thy judgments pure. 21 Thou hast rebuked the cursed proud, who from thy precepts swerve. 22 Reproach and shame remove from me, for I thy laws observe. 23 Though princes in assembly sit, and counsel 'gainst me take, thy statutes I, thy servant, still my meditation make. 24 My comfort, and my heart’s delight, thy testimonies be; and they, in all my doubts and fears, are counsellors to me.

Sweet Was The Time When First I Felt

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 342 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Sweet was the time when first I felt The Savior’s pardoning blood Applied, to cleanse my soul from guilt, And bring me home to God. 2 Soon as the morn the light revealed, His praises tuned my tongue; And when the evening shades prevailed, His love was all my song. 3 In vain the tempter spread his wiles, The world no more could charm; I lived upon my Savior’s smiles, And leaned upon His arm. 4 In prayer my soul drew near the Lord, And saw His glory shine; And when I read His holy Word, I called each promise mine. 5 Then to His saints I often spoke; Of what His love had done; But now my heart is almost broke, For all my joys are gone. 6 Now when the evening shade prevails, My soul in darkness mourns, And when the morn the light reveals, No light to me returns. 7 My prayers are now a chattering noise, For Jesus hides His face; I read, the promise meets my eyes, But will not reach my case. 8 Now Satan threatens to prevail, And make my soul his prey; Yet, Lord, Thy mercies cannot fail, O come without delay.

Blest Be the Dear Uniting Love

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 271 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Blest be the dear uniting love, That will not let us part! Our bodies may far off remove, We still are one in heart. 2. Joined in one spirit to our Head, Where He appoints we go; And still in Jesus’ footsteps tread, And show His praise below. 3. O may we ever walk in Him, And nothing know beside; Nothing desire, nothing esteem, But Jesus crucified. 4. Closer and closer let us cleave To His beloved embrace; Expect His fullness to receive And grace to answer grace. 5. While thus we walk with Christ in light Who shall our souls disjoin, Souls, which Himself vouchsafes t’unite In fellowship divine! 6. We all are one who Him receive, The same in mind and heart, Nor joy, nor grief, nor time, nor place, Nor life, nor death can part. 7. Partakers of the Savior’s grace, The same in mind and heart, Nor joy, nor grief, nor time, nor place, Nor life, nor death can part. 8. But let us hasten to the day Which shall our flesh restore, When death shall all be done away, And bodies part no more!
