What name is there to fit a life So patient and so pure? 6 So, Love itself in human form, For love of me he came; I cannot look upon his face For shame, for bitter shame. 7 If there is aught of worth in me, It comes from thee alone; Then keep me safe, for so, O Lord, Thou keepest but thine own. Amen. Topics: The Life in Christ Repentance and Faith; The Church Year Lent Used With Tune: CAITHNESS

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 First Line: Wherefore is it that Thou, O Lord Lyrics: 1. Wherefore is it that Thou, O Lord, Dost stand from us afar?

The wicked of his heart’s desire Doth talk with boasting great; He blesseth him that’s covetous, Whom yet the Lord doth hate. 4. The wicked, through his pride of face, On God he doth not call; And in the counsels of his heart The Lord is not at all. 5. His ways they always grievous are; Thy judgments from his sight Removèd are: at all his foes He puffeth with despight. 6. Within his heart he thus hath said, I shall not movèd be; And no adversity at all Shall ever come to me. 7. His mouth with cursing, fraud, deceit, Is filled abundantly; And underneath his tongue there is Mischief and vanity. 8.

Himself he humbleth very low, He croucheth down withal, That so a multitude of poor May by his strong ones fall. 11. He thus hath said within his heart, The Lord hath quite forgot; He hides His countenance, and He For ever sees it not. 12. O Lord, do Thou arise; O God, Lift up Thine hand on high: Put not the meek afflicted ones Out of Thy memory. 13. Why is it that the wicked man Thus doth the Lord despise? Because that God will it require He in his heart denies. 14. Thou hast it seen; for their mischief And spite Thou wilt repay: The poor commits himself to Thee; Thou art the orphan’s stay. 15. The arm break of the wicked man, And of the evil one; Do Thou seek out his wickedness, Until Thou findest none. 16. The Lord is king through ages all, E’en to eternity; The heathen people from His land Are perished utterly. 17. O Lord, of those that humble are Thou the desire didst hear; Thou wilt prepare their heart, and Thou To hear wilt bend Thine ear; 18. To judge the fatherless, and those That are oppressèd sore; That man, that is but sprung of earth, May them oppress no more. Used With Tune: CAITHNESS Text Sources: Scottish Psalter and Paraphrases
