As Pants the Hart for Cooling Streams

Trust God, and he'll employ his aid for thee, and change these sighs to thankful hymns of joy. 4 Why restless, why cast down, my soul? Hope still; and thou shalt sing the praise of him who is thy God, thy health's eternal spring.

Psalm 42 Part 1

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 62 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 42:1-5 First Line: With earnest longings of the mind Lyrics: With earnest longings of the mind, My God, to thee I look; So pants the hunted hart to find And taste the cooling brook. When shall I see thy courts of grace, And meet my God again? So long an absence from thy face My heart endures with pain. Temptations vex my weary soul, And tears are my repast; The foe insults without control, "And where's your God at last?" 'Tis with a mournful pleasure now I think on ancient days; Then to thy house did numbers go, And all our work was praise. But why, my soul, sunk down so far Beneath this heavy load? Why do my thoughts indulge despair, And sin against my God? Hope in the Lord, whose mighty hand Can all thy woes remove, For I shall yet before him stand, And sing restoring love. Topics: Afflictions hope in them; Delight in God; Complaint of absence from public worship; Direction and hope; Hope and direction; Hope in afflictions; Longing after God; Melancholy reproved; Public worship, absence from it complained of; Worship absence from it

Strong Deliverer, strong Deliverer, Be Thou still my Strength and Shield, Be Thou still my Strength and Shield. 3 When I tread the verge of Jordan, Bid my anxious fears subside; Death of death, and hell's destruction, Land me safe on Canaan's side. Songs of praises, songs of praises, I will ever give to Thee, I will ever give to Thee. Topics: Jesus, Bread of Life; Lent 4 Languages: English Tune Title: CWM RHONDDA

Hugh Wilson

1766 - 1824 Person Name: Hugh Wilson, 1765-1824 Scripture: Psalm 42:1-7 Composer (melody and bass) of "MARTYRDOM" in The Hymnal 1982 Hugh Wilson (b. Fenwick, Ayrshire, Scotland, c. 1766; d. Duntocher, Scotland, 1824) learned the shoemaker trade from his father. He also studied music and mathematics and became proficient enough in various subjects to become a part-­time teacher to the villagers. Around 1800, he moved to Pollokshaws to work in the cotton mills and later moved to Duntocher, where he became a draftsman in the local mill. He also made sundials and composed hymn tunes as a hobby. Wilson was a member of the Secession Church, which had separated from the Church of Scotland. He served as a manager and precentor in the church in Duntocher and helped found its first Sunday school. It is thought that he composed and adapted a number of psalm tunes, but only two have survived because he gave instructions shortly before his death that all his music manuscripts were to be destroyed.
