Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 13 First Line: How long wilt thou, O God of grace Lyrics: I. How long wilt thou, O God of grace, Forget thy wonted love? How long conceal thy shining face, Nor bid the cloud remove? II. How long shall my dejected soul, (Thus pond'ring o'er her woes,) In vain endeavor to controul The pow'r of inward foes? III. Lord, hear my pray'r, and heal my woes, Arise with chearing light; Or soon these wretched eyes will close In everlasting night. IV. The pow'rs of darkness will rejoice To see my life decay, And triumph with insulting voice Around their trembling prey. V. But, Lord, thy mercy hitherto Has been my only trust; Let mercy now my joys renew, And raise me from the dust. VI. Then shall my heart and tongue proclaim The bounties of my God, My songs with grateful rapture flame, And spread thy praise abroad.

When We Lose A Child or Parent

Author: Mary Nelson Keithahn Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 13:2 First Line: When we lose a child or parent, Lyrics: When we lose a child or parent,husband dear, a wife, a friend,there are painful, empty places in our hearts until life's end.Though we learn to go on living,no one takes a loved one's place.Is this loneliness a curse, God,or a blessed gift of grace? Look into these empty placesat our hidden feelings, fears;free us, God, from guilt and anger,and release love's healing tears.Lead us to recall with laughterhappy times with loved ones lost, find the joy of loving othersworth the pain that it has cost.Let the love we shared together give us comfort, ease our pain,that one day we may awakento your rainbow in the rain.Thank you, God, for empty placesin our lives when loved ones die,for they keep us still connectedas the days and years pass by.

Lest my proud Foe, with boasting Voice, Should say, against him I've prevail'd; And those that trouble me rejoice. To see my stedfast Hopes have fail'd. 5.
