Save Me, O God

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: Save me, O God, because the floods Lyrics: 1. Save me, O God, because the floods Come in upon my soul; I sink in depths where none can stand; Deep waters, o’er me roll. 2. My constant calling wearies me, My throat is parched and dried, My eyes grow dim while for my God Still waiting I abide. 3. The foes who hate me unprovoked, Are strong and still increase, Though to disarm their enmity My right I yield for peace. 4. O God, my folly and my sin Thy holy eye can see; Yet save from shame, Lord God of hosts, Thy saints that wait on Thee. 5. Forbid, O God, our covenant God, That those who seek Thy face Should see Thy servant put to shame And share in my disgrace. 6. It is for Thee I am reproached, For Thee I suffer shame, Until my brethren know me not, And hated is my name. 7. It is my zeal for Thy abode That has consumed my life; Reproached by those reproaching Thee, I suffer in the strife. 8. I wept, with fasting bowed my soul, Yet that was made my shame; When I in sackcloth clothed myself, Their byword I became. 9. The men who sit within the gate With slander do me wrong, And they who linger at their cups Make me their jest and song.

Welcome, thou Victor in the strife

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Benjamin Schmolck Appears in 63 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Welcome, Thou Victor in the strife, Now welcome from the cave! To-day we triumph in Thy life Around Thy empty grave. 2 The dwellings of the just resound With songs of victory; For in their midst, Lord, Thou art found, And brightest peace with Thee. 3 Impart to us the spoils, we pray, Thou didst for us achieve; We meet within Thy house to-day Our portion to receive. 4 We die with Thee: O let us live Henceforth to Thee aright; The blessings Thou hast died to give, Be daily in our sight. 5 Fearless we lay us in the tomb, And sleep the night away, If Thou art there to break the gloom, And call us back to day. 6 Death hurts us not; his power is gone, And pointless are his darts; Now hath God's favor on us shone, And joy fills all our hearts.

Heal Us, Emmanuel

Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 75 hymnals First Line: Heal us, Emmanuel, hear our prayer Lyrics: 1. Heal us, Emmanuel, hear our prayer [originally, Heal us, Emmanuel, here we are] We wait to feel Thy touch; Deep wounded souls to Thee repair, And Savior, we are such. 2. Our faith is feeble, we confess We faintly trust Thy Word; But wilt Thou pity us the less? Be that far from Thee, Lord! 3. Remember him who once applied With trembling for relief Lord, I believe, with tears he cried; O help my unbelief! 4. She, too, who touched Thee in the press And healing virtue stole, Was answered, Daughter, go in peace; Thy faith has made thee whole. 5. Concealed amid the gathering throng, She would have shunned Thy view; And if her faith was firm and strong, Had strong misgivings too. 6. Like her, with hopes and fears we come To touch Thee if we may; O send us not despairing home; Send none unhealed away. Used With Tune: GRÄFENBERG Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London: W. Oliver, 1779)
