Hear me, O Lord, in my distress
Author: David G. Preston (b. 1939) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Despair and Trouble Scripture: Psalm 143 Used With Tune: THE TRUTH FROM ABOVE
Hear me, O Lord, in my distress
'Lift up your hearts!' We lift them, Lord, to thee
Author: Henry Montague Butler (1833-1918) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 69 hymnals Topics: Despair and Trouble Lyrics: 1 'Lift up your hearts!' We lift them, Lord, to thee;
here at thy feet none other may we see:
'Lift up your hearts!' Even so, with one accord,
we lift them up, we lift them to the Lord.
2 Above the level of the former years,
the mire of sin, the slough of guilty fears,
the mist of doubt, the blight of love's decay,
O Lord of light, lift all our hearts today!
3 Lift every gift that thou thyself hast given;
low lies the best till lifted up to heaven:
low lie the bounding heart, the teeming brain,
till, sent from God, they mount to God again.
4 Then, as the trumpet-call in after years,
'Lift up your hearts!' rings pealing in our ears,
still shall those hearts respond with full accord,
'We lift them up, we lift them to the Lord!' Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:52 Used With Tune: WOODLANDS
'Lift up your hearts!' We lift them, Lord, to thee
Now Satan comes with dreadful Roar
Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Despair and Presumption Lyrics: 2 Now Satan comes with dreadful Roar
And threatens to destroy;
He worries whom he can't devour
With a malicious Joy.
2 Ye Sons of God, oppose his Rage,
Resist, and he'll be gone;
Thus did our dearest Lord engage
And vanquish him alone.
3 Now he appears almost divine,
Like Innocence and Love;
But the old Serpent lurks within
When he assumes the Dove.
4 Fly from the false Deceiver's Tongue,
Ye Sons of Adam, fly;
Our Parents found the Snare too strong,
Nor should the Children try.
Now Satan comes with dreadful Roar
By gracious powers so wonderfully sheltered
Author: Fred Pratt Green (1903-2000); Keith W. Clements (b. 1943); Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945) Meter: 11.10.11.10.11.10 Appears in 17 hymnals Topics: Despair and Trouble Scripture: Lamentations 3:22-23 Used With Tune: FINLANDIA

Day and Night I Cry to You
Presumption and despair
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 48 hymnals Topics: Presumption and despair First Line: I hate the tempter and his charms Lyrics: 1 I hate the tempter and his charms,
I hate his flatt'ring breath;
The serpent takes a thousand forms
To cheat our souls to death.
2 He feeds our hopes with airy dreams,
Or kills with slavish fear;
And holds us still in wide extremes,
Presumption or despair.
3 Now he persuades, "how easy 'tis
"To walk the road to heav'n;"
Anon he swells our sins, and cries,
"They cannot be forgiv'n."
4 He bids young sinners "yet forbear
"To think of God or death;
"For prayer and devotion are
"But melancholy breath."
5 He tells the aged, "they must die,
"And 'tis too late to pray;
"In vain for mercy now they cry,
"For they have lost their day."
6 Thus he supports his cruel throne
By mischief and deceit,
And drags the sons of Adam down
To darkness and the pit.
7 Almighty God, cut short his pow'r,
Let him in darkness dwell;
And, that he vex the earth no more,
Confine him down to hell.

Before the throne of God above
Author: Charitie Lees De Chenez (1841-1923) Appears in 56 hymnals Topics: Despair and Trouble Lyrics: 1 Before the throne of God above
I have a strong, a perfect plea,
a great High Priest, whose name is Love,
who ever lives and pleads for me.
My name is graven on his hands,
my name is written on his heart;
I know that while in heaven he stands
no tongue can bid me thence depart,
no tongue can bid me thence depart.
2 When Satan tempts me to despair,
and tells me of the guilt within,
upward I look, and see him there
who made an end of all my sin.
Because the sinless Saviour died,
my sinful soul is counted free;
for God, the Just, is satisfied
to look on him and pardon me,
to look on him and pardon me.
3 Behold him there! the risen Lamb!
my perfect, spotless Righteousness,
the great unchangeable I AM,
the King of glory and of grace!
One with my Lord, I cannot die;
my soul is purchased by his blood;
my life is hid with Christ on high,
with Christ, my Saviour and my God,
with Christ, my Saviour and my God. Scripture: Hebrews 4:14 Used With Tune: BEFORE THE THRONE OF GOD ABOVE
