Hear Our Prayer, O Lord
Psalm 143
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 56 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 143 First Line: My righteous Judge, my gracious God Lyrics:
My righteous Judge, my gracious God,
Hear when I spread my hands abroad,
And cry for succor from thy throne;
O make thy truth and mercy known!
Let judgment not against me pass;
Behold, thy servant pleads thy grace:
Should justice call us to thy bar,
No man alive is guiltless there.
Look down in pity, Lord, and see
The mighty woes that burden me;
Down to the dust my life is brought,
Like one long buried and forgot.
I dwell in darkness and unseen,
My heart is desolate within
My thoughts in musing silence trace
The ancient wonders of thy grace.
Thence I derive a glimpse of hope
To bear my sinking spirits up;
I stretch my hands to God again,
And thirst like parched lands for rain
For thee I thirst, I pray, I mourn:
When will thy smiling face return?
Shall all my joys on earth remove?
And God for ever hide his love?
My God, thy long delay to save
Will sink thy pris'ner to the grave;
My heart grows faint, and dim mine eye;
Make haste to help before I die.
The night is witness to my tears,
Distressing pains, distressing fears;
O might I hear thy morning voice,
How would my wearied powers rejoice!
In thee I trust, to thee I sigh,
And lift my heavy soul on high;
For thee sit waiting all the day,
And wear the tiresome hours away.
Break off my fetters, Lord, and show
Which is the path my feet should go;
If snares and foes beset the road,
I flee to hide me near my God.
Teach me to do thy holy will,
And lead me to thy heav'nly hill;
Let the good Spirit of thy love
Conduct me to thy courts above.
Then shall my soul no more complain,
The tempter then shall rage in vain;
And flesh, that was my foe before,
Shall never vex my spirit more.

O Lord, Thy mercy show;

Let me Thy kindness know.

Teach me Thy will to heed;
And in the right and perfect way

Redeem me from distress.

Jesus, lover of my soul
Author: Charles Wesley (1707-1788) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3,208 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 143:9 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, lover of my soul,
let me to thy bosom fly,
while the nearer waters roll,
while the tempest still is high.
Hide me, O my Saviour, hide,
till the storm of life is past;
safe into the haven guide,
oh, receive my soul at last!
2 Other refuge have I none,
hangs my helpless soul on thee;
leave, ah! leave me not alone,
still support and comfort me.
All my trust on thee is stayed,
all my help from thee I bring;
cover my defenceless head
with the shadow of thy wing.
3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want;
more than all in thee I find!
Raise the fallen, cheer the faint,
heal the sick, and lead the blind.
Just and holy is thy name,
I am all unrighteousness;
false and full of sin I am,
thou art full of truth and grace.
4 Plenteous grace with thee is found,
grace to cover all my sin;
let the healing streams abound,
make and keep me pure within.
Thou of life the fountain art,
freely let me take of thee;
spring thou up within my heart,
rise to all eternity. Topics: Life in Christ Our Response to Christ - In Penitence; God in grace and mercy Used With Tune: ABERYSTWYTH

Hear My Prayer, O God
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b. 1944 Meter: 5.6.5.6 D Appears in 5 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 143 Lyrics: 1 Hear my prayer, O God,
and listen to my plea;
faithful, righteous One,
give ear and answer me.
Judge me not, I pray;
no merit dare I claim;
knowing my own faults,
I trust in your just Name.
2 Hounded by a foe
who crushed me to the ground,
I am like the dead
or those in prison bound.
Hopeless, numbed by fear,
I ponder all your care;
thirsty as parched earth,
I lift my hands in prayer.
3 Answer soon, O God;
my spirit faints in me;
do not hide your face,
or I will cease to be.
When the morning dawns,
make known your love anew;
show me how to walk,
for I will trust in you.
4 Keep me safe, O God,
and help me learn your will;
let your Spirit lead
through level pathways still.
For your great Name’s sake,
my griefs and fears dispel;
free me from my foes,
that I may serve you well.
