Thy dreadful Anger, LORD, restrain

Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Thy dreadful Anger, Lord, restrain, Nor let thy Wrath on me remain, For 'tis not to be borne: Oh, spare a Wretch forlorn. Instead of Justice, which I fear, Let me the Voice of Mercy hear. Who can the Stroke withstand, Of thine afflicting Hand? 2 Have Mercy LORD! for I grow faint, Oh listen to my sad Complaint! And as thou know'st my Grief, Vouchsafe a kind Relief. The Anguish of my aking Bones, Extort from me continual Groans; And thou alone can'st cure, The Torments I endure. 3 My anxious Soul is troubled Sore, Do thou oh LORD, my Peace restore; My Heart within my Breast, Can find no solid Rest: But LORD how long must I sustain These heavy woes? how long complain? To me in Mercy turn, Nor let thine Anger burn. 4 Thy wonted Goodness, LORD, extend; To me thy kind Assistance lend, For my unequall'd Grief, Oh send some quick Relief. And for thy wond'rous Mercy's sake, On my Distress some Pity take; Vouchsafe to make me whole, And ease my trouble Soul. 5 For after Death I can no more, Thy loving Kindness, LORD, implore, No more in Anthems raise, My Voice to sing thy Praise; None in the dreary Tomb confin'd, Who hath his fleeting Breath resign'd, Can thy great Deeds proclaim, And magnify thy name. 6 With Groaning faint, and tir'd with Pain, I cease not loudly to complain; My Nights in Grief I spend, In Grief that knows no End. My Tears that never cease to flow, Are Marks of undissembled Woe; From Anguish never free, No Hope of Ease I see. 7 My Sight grows dim, my Beauty fades, Old Age my tott'ring Fram invades, My feeble Eyelids close; My soul no comfort knows, Whilst I with ever anxious Care, My angry Foes insulting hear, Who daily me annoy, And my distress enjoy. on my insulting Foes. 8 Depart, ye Wicked, far from me, Ye shall no more my Sorrows see, Nor with exulting Voice, In all my Wrongs rejoice. For GOD, I find accepts my Tears, The LORD will soon dispel my Fears, He hears when I implore And will my Strength restore. 9 The LORD at length vouchsafes to hear, My mournful Cry, and humble Pray'r; My Life he will retrieve, My Soul from Death relieve; And those who wish'd my Fall to see, Shall soon with Shame confounded be, And know, with humbled Pride, That GOD is on my Side.

To God my loud Complaints I made

Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 To God my loud Complaints I made, And he vouchsaf'd his powerful Aid; He to my humble Pray'r. Did lend a gracious Ear. All Night my fest'ring Wound did ragem, No Med'cine could the Pain assuage: My Soul indulg'd her Grief, Nor would accept Relief. 2 I thought on God, but then distress'd, I found my Spirits quite oppress'd; The more i did complain, The more encreas'd my Pain; My Grief is swell'd to such a Height, That thro' each tedious Watch of Night, Mine Eyes are kept awake; I sigh, but cannot speak. 3 I call'd to Mind those ancient Days, When I, exalted, sung thy Praise; Those Years so much renown'd; With signal Favours crown'd; By Night I recollect the Song That to my Trimphs did belong, And once such Joy impart, Then thus consult my Heart. 4 "Hath GOD withdrawn His Favour quite, "Is Mercy lost in endless Night? "Will he his promis'd Love "For evermore remove?" I said My Weakness doth supply These Fears, but in the LORD most high I shall securely stand, Protected by his Hand. 5 His Works of old I will relate, On them my Heart shall meditate; My Tongue shall them recite, The Wonders of his Might. Thy Promise, LORD, is ever sure, Thy Ways are holy, just, and pure, And deep thy Counsels are, Who can with thee compare? 6 Thou art the LORD, that dost display Amazing Wonders every Day, And all the World shall own, That thou art GOD alone; And Jacob's Seed and Joseph's Line, Have known thy Strength and Pow'r divine, Who didst thy Arm extend, And them with Might defend. 7 When thee, O GOD, the Waters saw, The troubled Deep was struck with Awe, The frigten'd Billows shrunk, And in their Channels sunk: The Clouds pour'd down, while rending Skies, Fill'd Earth and Heav'n with dread Surprize, And forth thine Arrows came, Wing'd with avenging Flame 8 Broad Sheets of livid Blaze appear; Thy Thunders roll, Earth shakes with Fear, Thy Paths in Waters lie; Nor can thy Steps descry: Thy People from hard Bondage freed, Thou didst by skillful Moses lead, And Aaron's sacred Hand, Safe thro' a desart Land.

To my Complaint thine Ear incline

Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 To my Complaint thine Ear incline, O GOD, for no Relief but thine, Can free me from Distress; And all my Wrongs redress: Thy Servant keep, O LORD, for I On thee alone for Help rely: Do thou my Soul restore, That does thy Name adore. 2 Comfort thy Servant; for to thee, For Succour, LORD, I daily flee, To me thy Love extend; For I on thee depend: Thy Goodness, LORD, from Day to Day, To all Mankind thou dost display; And thou wilt pardon too, Those who for Mercy sue. 3 To my repeated humble Pray'r, Bow down, O GOD, thy gracious Ear; Do thou attentive be, For still I call on thee; Among the Gods none can display Such Pow'r; as much inferior they, As are their Works to thine, O LORD, alone Divine! 4 The Nations therefore shall restore Thy Praise, O LORD! thy Name adore, And at the Footstool fall Of him who made them all. They shall confess thee GOD supreme, Thy wond'rous Works shall be their Theme, Shall see what thou hast done, And own thee GOD alone. Part II 11 Teach me, O LORD, thy sacred Way, That from thy Truth I may not stray: To me thy Grace impart, Unite my wand'ring Heart To fear, continually thy Name. Thy Praise, my GOD, I will proclaim, And with a Soul sincere Thee constantly revere. 6 Thy boundless Mercy who can tell, For thou hast sav'd my Soul from Hell, And when I call'd on thee, Thy Goodness set me free: The Sons of Pride against me rise, Not setting thee before their Eyes; And with a wicked Strife, Seek to destroy my Life. 7 But thou didst thy Assistance bring, Of Truth thou everlasting Spring; Thy Patience and thy Love, LORD, thou shalt ne'er remove: Turn thee, O GOD, some Signal show, And let all those who hate me, know, That thou wilt Pow'r extend, Thy Servants to defend.

To thee, my GOD and Saviour, I

Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 To Thee, my GOD and Saviour, I By Day and Night address my Cry; To me incline thine Ear, And my Distresses hear; For Seas of Trouble me invade, My Soul draws nigh to Death's cold Shade. Like one whose Strength is fled, I'm number'd with the Dead. 2 Like those who shrowded in the Grave From thee no more Remembrance have, Rejected from thy Care, And plung'd in dark Despair. Thy Wrath has hard upon me lain, Afflicting me with restless Pain; Me all thy Waves have prest, Too weak to bear the least. 3 Remov'd from Friends, I sigh'd alone, In a loath'd Dungeon laid, where none Vouchsafes to visit me, Past Hopes of Liberty. My Eyes from weeping never cease, They waste, but still my Griefs increase, Yet LORD, to thee I've pray'd, And still invok'd thy Aid. 4 Wilt thou by Miracle revive The Dead, whom thou forsook'st alive? And them, thy Praise to sing, From their Confinement bring? Shall the mute Grave thy Love confess, A mould'ring Tomb thy Faithfulness? Thy Works renown obtain, Where Shades and Silence reign? 5 To thee, O LORD, I cry, forlorn, My Pray'r prevents the early Morn; Why hidest thou thy Face, And leav'st me in Disgrace? Prevailing Sorrows bear me down, Which from my Youth with me have grown, With constant Grief opress'd, Thy Terrors fill my Breast. 6 Thy Wrath hath burst upon my Head, My troubled Soul is fill'd with Dread, And Woes on ev'ry Side, Like Waves, are multiply'd. My Lovers, Friends, Familiars, all Remove from Sight and out of Call, Daily I make my Moan, Neglected and alone.

When I pour out my Soul in Pray'r

Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 When I pour out my Soul in Pray'r, Do thou, O LORD, incline thine Ear; And let my sad Cry ascend, To thee, my only Friend: Hide not thy Face from my Distress, Do thy my Sorrows soon redress; And when I call on thee, Vouchsafe to comfort me. 2 My Days like scatter'd Smoke expire, My Bones consume in constant Fire, My Heart is parch'd with Heat, And I forget to eat: By Reason of repeated Groans, My Flesh will scarce cleave to my Bones; Like mournful Owls, am I, That through the Desarts cry. 3 I watch, and like a Sparrow mourn, That on the House-top sits forlorn; My Foes revile all Day, And Snares in secret lay. Ashes I've eat, oppress'd with Fears, My Drink is mix'd with briny Tears; Because thy Wrath doth lie, On me, once seated high. 4 My Days are like an Ev'ning Shade, And like a drooping Flow'r I fade; But LORD, thy glorious Name, For ever is the same: Thou shalt disperse thy Sion's Gloom, For now her Days of Mercy's come; Because it grieves the Just. To see her laid in Dust. 5 The Heathen Kings his Name shall fera, When Sion shall restor'd appear; When him the Poor address, And he their Pray'r shall bless: This shall be written on Record That those to come may praise the LORD; That future Nations may, His mignty Acts display. 6 For from his holy Dwelling Place, The LORD survey'd the human Race, That he might hear the Cry, Of Wretches doom'd to die. His mighty Arm did interpose, To release them from all their Foes, And set the Mourners free, From long Captivity. 7 That thro' glad Sion they might sing, His Praise, who did Deliv'rance bring; And at Jerusalem Adore his gracious Name. When all the Tribes assembling there, And Kingdoms joining in the Pray'r, To him their Vows address, And GOD their LORD confess. 8 But at his Wrath my Life decays, His Hand cuts short my hopeful Days; And allmy Strength is gone, E'er yet my Race is run; LORD, end not thus my Years, said I, When scarcely half have passed by; But thou from Change secure, Shalt evermore endure. 9 The Earth's Foundations thou hast laid, Thy Hands the lofty Heav'ns have made; And they shall pass away, But thou shalt ne'er decay: They all shall like a Garment fail, And Time shall over them prevail; But thou shalt never waste, Thy Years for ever last. 10 The Children of thy Saints shall stand, Supported by thy pow'rful hand; And in they Sight remain, Whilst thou dost them sustain.
