O Thou, The Helpless Orphan's Hope

Collyer, 1782-1854 Meter: 8.8.6 D Appears in 19 hymnals First Line: O Thou, the helpless orphan’s hope Lyrics: 1 O Thou, the helpless orphan’s hope To whom alone my eyes look up In each distressing day! Father (for that’s the sweetest name That e’er these lips were taught to frame), Instruct this heart to pray. 2 Low in the dust my parents lie, And no attentive ear is nigh But Thine, to mark my woe; No hand to wipe away my tears, No gentle voice to hush my fears, Remains to me below. 3 To Heav’n my earthly friends are gone, And thither are my comforts flown, But I continue here; Be Thou my pattern, Thou my guide; This friendless heart from sorrow hide, Reposing on Thy care.

With harp and hymn of gladness sing, your gift of sweetest music bring, to him a new song raise. 2 Let all the earth the Lord God fear; let all who dwell both far and near in awe before him stand! For, lo, he spoke and it was done, and all, with sov'reign pow'r begun, stood firm at his command. 3 The Lord God from his throne on high looks down with clear and searching eye on all that dwell below. And he that fashioned heart and mind looks ever down on humankind the works of all to know. 4 His eye is on all those who fear; to those who hope, the Lord is near according to his word. Death cannot touch those in his hand, nor trouble conquer in the land; we wait upon the Lord.

Lord, hear my voice, my prayer attend

Meter: 8.8.6 D Appears in 19 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, hear my voice, my prayer attend; from earth's remotest bound I send my supplicating cry. When troubles great o'erwhelm my breast, then lead me on the rock to rest that higher is than I. 2 In thee my soul has shelter found, and thou hast been from foes around the tower of my defence. My home shall thy pavilion be; to covert of thy wings I'll flee, and find deliverance. 3 For thou, O Lord, my vows hast heard; on me the heritage conferred of those that fear thy name. Long life thou to the king wilt give; through generations he shall live, from age to age the same. 4 Before the Lord shall he abide; O do thou truth and grace provide to guard him in the way. So I thy praises will make known, and humbly bending at thy throne, my vows will daily pay. Scripture: Psalm 61 Used With Tune: MANNA
