Appears in 11 hymnals Refrain First Line: 6 6 6 6 D. Lyrics: 1 Lord, hear me in distress, Regard my suppliant cry, And in Thy faithfulness And righteousness reply. In judgment do not cause Thy servant to be tried; Before Thy holy laws No man is justified. 2 The enemy has sought My soul in dust to tread; To darkness I am brought, Forgotten as the dead. My spirit, crushed with grief, Is sad and overborne; My heart finds no relief, But desolate I mourn. 3 Recalling former days And all Thy wondrous deeds, The memory of Thy ways To hope and comfort leads. to Thee I stretch my hands, Let me not plead in vain; I wait as weary lands Wait for refreshing rain. 4 My failing spirit see, O Lord, to me make haste; Hide not Thy face from me, Lest bitter death I taste, O let the morn return, Let mercy light my day; For Thee in faith I yearn, O guide me in the way. 5 Lord, save me from my foe, To Thee for help I flee; Teach me Thy way to know, I have no God but Thee. By Thy good Spirit lead From trouble and distress, My erring feet shall tread The path of uprightness. 6 O Lord, for Thy Name's sake Revive my fainting heart; My soul from trouble take, For just and true Thou art. Remove my enemy, My cruel foe reward; In mercy rescue me Who am Thy servant, Lord.

Frederick C. Maker

1844 - 1927 Composer of "INVITATION" in The Psalter Frederick C. Maker (b. Bristol, England, August 6, 1844; d. January 1, 1927) received his early musical training as a chorister at Bristol Cathedral, England.

His longest tenure was at Redland Park Congregational Church, where he was organist from 1882-1910. Maker also conducted the Bristol Free Church Choir Association and was a long-time visiting professor of music at Clifton College. He wrote hymn tunes, anthems, and a cantata, Moses in the Bulrushes. Bert Polman

Anonymous

Author of "Lord, Hear Me in Distress" in The Cyber Hymnal In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
