To thee, O Lord, I made my humble pray'r
Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 77 Lyrics: 1 To thee, O Lord, I made my humble pray'r,
Thee I implor'd, and gracious thou didst hear.
2 To thee alone in my distress I pray'd,
With dreadful ills when I was sore dismay'd;
To thee the live-long night held up my hands,
Nor wou'd receive the solace of my friends.
3 On thee alone relying, thee I chose,
To heal my heart, to dissipate my woes;
My soul with deep, with bitter anguish pain'd,
To thee I therefore heavily complain'd.
4 And well might I complain, for sleep no more
Wou'd o'er my eyes exert his healing pow'r;
Tho' on my limbs a heavy stupor hung,
And my continued anguish chain'd my tongue.
5 'Twas then my mind revolv'd my former days,
When thee I sung in sweet harmonious lays;
6 My grateful praises on the tuneful lyre,
The hymns of joy thy mercies did inspire;
With these ideas long my soul was fraught,
And thus wou'd I indulge the pensive thought:
7 "Ah! will th' all-high make me no more his care?
"Shall I no more his gracious goodness share?
8 "Ah! will his mercy now no more prevail,
"And is it possible his truth should fail?
9 "Has he his great beneficence forgot?
"Will dire resentment bring his love to nought?"
10 Soon I repented of the vain surmise;
Thy ways of old I set before my eyes,
The ever-gracious deeds thy hand had done,
The various mercies thou hadst constant shewn;
12 The griefs, the dangers, thou hadst chac'd away,
The quick relief thou gav'st without delay.
13 Yes; sov'reign ruler, I thy justice see;
For truth, for mercy, who is like to thee?
14 To the whole earth the wonders of thy pow'r
Shew'd thee the universal governor.
15 When struck proud Pharaoh with a dread alarm
Thy favour'd tribes, them, by thy mighty arm,
16 Didst thou redeem; thy arm the waters saw,
The troubled depths, and they beheld with awe.
17 The heavy clouds obey'd thy great command,
And delug'd with their watery stores the land;
18 Fell thy destroying hail, thy thunders roar'd;
Their rapid fires thy forky lightnings pour'd.
19 And when thy people Pharaoh's fury fled;
When Moses and his sacred brother led
Them thro' the deep, and strait pursued the foe;
Back on the hostile bands the waters flow;
Fain they'd retreat; but their attempts are vain;
Sudden they perish in th' o'er-whelming main:
While, as his fleecy care the shepherd leads,
Thou guid'st them thro' the sea; the sea recedes
Stood on a heap the sea at thy command;
Secure they pass, and joyful reach the strand.
To thee, O Lord, I made my humble pray'r

Grace dwells with justice on your throne
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 77 Lyrics: Grace dwells with justice on your throne,
and those who love your word
have heard your wisdom, and have known
your heavenly counsels, Lord.
I'll think again of all your ways,
and talk your wonders o'er: —
the wonders of recovering grace,
when flesh could hope no more.
I will forbid a hopeless thought,
some dark, despairing claim,
remembering good your hand has wrought;
your hand is still the same!
I'll meditate your works of old;
our God, who reigns above;
I'll hear your ancient wonders told,
and learn to trust your love.

Psalm LXXVII
Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 77 First Line: To God, I rais'd my earnest cries Lyrics:
I. To God, I rais'd my earnest cries,
To God, who rules the earth and skies;
His sov'reign mercy deign'd to hear
My loud complaints, with pitying ear.
II. The tedious day was spent in grief,
In humble prayer I sought relief;
But day and night the restless smart
Deny'd sweet comfort to my heart.
III. I thought on God with terrors arm'd;
New troubles then my soul alarm'd;
Then over-whelming sorrows rose,
Nor could complaining ease my woes.
IV. Thy terrors, Lord, forbid my rest,
And silent anguish fills my breast;
And now in sad reflection rise
Past days and years before my eyes.
V. My nightly songs I call to mind,
And try some gleam of joy to find;
But search this wretched heart in vain,
For all is darkness, grief and pain.
VI. Will God forever leave his care?
Must I no more his favour share?
Shall long-lost mercy ne'er prevail?
And can his word for ever fail?
VII. Array'd in frowns his angry face,
Has God forgot his wonted grace?
And clos'd the full, the boundless store
Of mercy, ne'er to open more?
VIII. But I rebuke my drooping heart,
Far hence ye guilty fears depart;
Still will I call past comforts o'er,
And trust almighty love and pow'r.
IX. This drooping heart again shall trace
The ancient wonders of thy grace;
The mighty owkrs my God has wrought,
Shall still employ my voice, my thought.
X. Thy way, O God, thy wond'rous way,
While in thy temple I survey,
Struck with astonishment, I cry,
Where is a pow'r so great, so high?
XI. Whoe'er surveys thy works must own
That thou art God, and thou alone;
Thy favours to thy chosen care
The wonders of thy pow'r declare.
XII. Thy potent arm, for ever near,
Controul'd their foes, controul'd their fear;
And Jacob's sons, (distinguish'd race!)
Confess'd thy kind deliv'ring grace.
XIII. The waters with thy presence aw'd,
Beheld, and own'd their maker God;
The ocean shook with all its waves,
And trembled thro' its deepest caves.
XIV. The full clouds pour'd their wat'ry store;
Amid the storm's impetuous roar,
Thy dreadful arrows flew abroad,
And sounding skies proclaim'd the God!
XV. Thy awful voice in thunder broke,
Heav'n listen'd while th'almighty spoke!
While o'er the world keen light'nings spread,
Earth trembled with unusual dread!
XVI. Thy path, O Lord, thy tractless way
Lies in the deep unfathom'd sea;
No mortal thought can ever trace
Thy steps of wisdom, pow'r and grace.
XVII. Thy people found thy guardian care;
Where'er they wander'd, God was there;
'Till guided by thy prophet's hand,
They reach'd secure the promis'd land.

My voice I will lift up to God
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 77:1-9 Lyrics: 1 My voice I will lift up to God,
I'll cry to God nor spare;
my voice I will lift up to God,
and he will hear my prayer.
2 In day of woe I sought the Lord;
by night in ceaseless grief
my hand was stretched out to him;
my soul refused relief.
3 I to remembrance God do call,
and then I sigh and mourn;
I with myself commune, my heart
with grief is overborne.
4 Thou dost deny mine eyelids sleep,
withhold the rest I seek;
my trouble is so great that I
unable am to speak.
5 I thought on days and years of old,
recalled my song by night;
6 I with my heart communed, my soul
made earnest search for light.
7 For ever will the Lord cast off,
and gracious be no more?
8 For ever is his mercy gone?
Fails his word evermore?
9 Is't so that to be gracious
the Lord forgotten hath;
and that his tender mercies he
hath shut up in his wrath?
