Author: Edward Caswall Meter: 6.6.6.6.6.6 Appears in 700 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 42:8 Lyrics: 1 When morning gilds the skies, my heart awaking cries, may Jesus Christ be praised!

My comfort still is this, may Jesus Christ be praised! 3 The night becomes as day, when from the heart we say, may Jesus Christ be praised! The powers of darkness fear when this sweet chant they hear, may Jesus Christ be praised! 4 Be this, while life is mine, my canticle divine, may Jesus Christ be praised! Be this th'eternal song through all the ages long, may Jesus Christ be praised!

With earnest longings of the mind

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 62 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 42:1-5 Lyrics: 1 With earnest longings of the mind, My God, to thee I look; So pants the hunted hart to find And taste the cooling brook. 2 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. 3 Temptations vex my weary soul, And tears are my repast; The foe insults without control, 'And where's your God at last?' 4 'Tis with a mournful pleasure now I think on ancient days: Then to thy house did numbers go, And all our work was praise. 5 But why, my soul, sunk down so far Beneath this heavy load? Why do my thoughts indulge despair, And sin against my God? 6 Hope in the Lord, whose mighty hand Can all thy woes remove; For I shall yet before him stand, And sing restoring love.

When the Lord recalls the banish'd

Author: S. G. Bürde Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Appears in 9 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 42 Lyrics: When the Lord recalls the banish'd, Frees the captives all at last, Every sorrow will have vanish'd Like a dream when night is past; Then shall all our hearts rejoice, And with glad resounding voice We shall praise the Lord who sought us, For the freedom He hath wrought us. Lift Thy hand to aid us, Father, Look an us who widely roam, And Thy scatter'd children gather ln their long'd-for promised home; Steep and weary is the way, Shorten Thou the sultry day; Faithful warriors hast Thou found us, Let Thy peace for aye surround us. In that peace we reap in gladness What was sown in tearful showers: There the fruit of all our sadness Ripens,--there the palm is ours; There our God upon His throne Is our full reward alone; They who all for God surrender Bring their sheaves in heavenly splendour.

When meet the presence of my God? 3 God of my strength, attend my cry, Say why, my great Preserver, why Excluded from thy sight I go, And bend beneath a weight of wo? 4 Why thus, my soul, with care opprest? And whence the woes that fill my breast? In all thy cares, in all thy woes, On God thy steadfast hope repose. 5 My sure defense, my constant aid; His name my zeal shall ever raise, And dictate to my lips his praise.

When Christ Jerusalem beheld

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 42 Lyrics: 1 When Christ Jerusalem beheld, As he approached near-- His heart her doleful state bewail'd, His eyes they flow'd with tears. 2 He look'd on her with deep distress, And strove to be here friend; But O, her heighth of wickedness, Determin'd her fatal end. 3 Did'st thou but know in this thy day, That which would work thy peace; Before thy help is done away, And will forever cease. 4 But now these things are hid from thee, And from thine eyes conceal'd-- The time is near when thou must see: God's threat'nings all fulfill'd. 5 Justice and judgements must take place, Thy sins have brought them down; Long ye abus'd the means of grace, Which ye held as your own. 6 Thy foes they shall compass thee round, And fill thy streets with fear! Thy walls laid level with the ground And thou brought to despair. 7 Such woes as never were on earth, In ev'ry part shall rage; Great famine, wars and cruel death Shall sweep thee of the stage. 8 The Jews, they shar'd their awful fate And thus were made to know; That vice destroy'd their church and state, And prov'd their overthrow. 9 Long have we heard thy warnings Lord, But we regard it not-- And just according to thy word: Their fate must be our lot.
