Author: Christopher Idle, 1938- Hymnal: The Book of Praise #6 (1997) First Line: How long will you forget me, Lord Lyrics: 1 How long will you forget me, Lord,
and hide your face away?
How long shall evils tear my heart
and troubles fill my day?
2 Look on my need, O Lord my God
who grants my every breath;
give light that I may see your light,
nor sleep the sleep of death.
3 Look on their threats and hear my cry,
and answer when I call,
or they will claim the victory
who long to see me fall.
4 But since I trust your constant love,
my heart is glad and free
to sing the praises of the lord
whose grace has rescued me. Topics: Discouragement / Despair; Doubt; God Love and Grace of; Lament; Light; Metrical Psalms; Music / Singing / Song; Trust Scripture: Psalm 13 Languages: English Tune Title: BANGOR
