How Long, O Lord
Appears in 14 hymnals Topics: Gathering Songs of Confession and Lament; Gathering Songs Songs of Confession and Lament First Line: How long, O Lord, will you forget Lyrics: 1 How long, O Lord, will you forget
an answer to my prayer?
No tokens of your love I see,
your face is turned away from me;
I wrestle with despair.
2 How long, O Lord, will you forsake
and leave me in this way?
When will you come to my relief?
My heart is overwhelmed with grief,
by evil night and day.
3 How long, O Lord, but you forgive
with mercy from above.
I find that all your ways are just,
I learn to praise you and to trust
in your unfailing love!
Scripture: Psalm 13 Used With Tune: [How long, O Lord, will you forget]

How Long Hath God Bestowed His Care
Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Book One: Hymns, Songs, Chorales; Seasons, Days, Services National Repentance and Confession of Sin Lyrics: 1 How long hath God bestowed his care
On this indulged, ungrateful land!
How oft in times of danger near,
Preserved us by his sov'reign hand!
2 Here peace and liberty have dwelt,
The glorious Gospel brightly shone;
And oft our mightiest foes have felt
That God hath made our cause his own.
3 But, ah! both heav'n and earth have heard
Our vile requital of his love;
We, whom like children he has reared,
For all his care unthankful prove.
4 See! he uplifts his chast'ning rod!
O, where are now the faithful few,
Who tremble for the ark of God,
And know what Israel ought to do?
5 Lord, hear thy people ev'rywhere,
Who meet this day to weep and pray;
Our sinful land in mercy spare,
In mercy turn thy wrath away! Scripture: 2 Chronicles 7:14 Used With Tune: MELMORE
