Questionings and Comfort

Hymnal: The Psalter #210 (1912) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Comfort in Trials First Line: To God will I direct my prayer Lyrics: 1 To God will I direct my prayer, And He will make my needs His care; I trust Him still, though in my grief No answer yet has brought relief; With hands stretched out through all the night, Uncomforted I sought for light. 2 The thought of God brought me no peace, But rather made my fears increase; With sleepless eyes and speechless pain My fainting spirit grieved in vain; The blessedness of long ago Made deeper still my present woe. 3 Recalling days when faith was bright, When songs of gladness filled my night, I pondered o'er my grievous woes And searching questioning arose: Will God cast off, and nevermore His favor to my soul restore? 4 I asked in fear and bitterness, Will God forsake me in distress? Shall I His promise faithless find? Has God forgotten to be kind? Has He in anger hopelessly Removed His love and grace from me? 5 These doubts and fears that troubled me Were born of my infirmity; Tho' I am weak, God is most high, And on His goodness I rely; Of all His wonders I will tell, And on His deeds my tho'ts shall dwell.

How long shall they afflict Thy saints And devastate Thy chosen land? 3 The widow and the fatherless They slay, and helpless strangers smith; The faithful God they do not fear, They say the Lord will not requite. 4 Be wise, ye fools and brutish men; Shall not He see Who formed the eye? Shall not He hear Who formed the ear, And judge, Who reigneth, God Most High? 5 The Lord will judge in righteousness, From Him all truth and knowledge flow; The foolish thoughts of wicked men, How vain they are the Lord doth know. 6 That man is blest whom Thou, O Lord, With chastening hand dost teach Thy will, For in the day when sinners fall That man in peace abideth still. 7 The Lord will not cast off His own, Nor His inheritance forsake; Just judgment shall at length prevail, And upright hearts shall courage take. 8 Who will arise for my defense Against the wicked in the land? Against iniquity and wrong What man for me will valiant stand? 9 Unless the Lord had been my help, My life had quickly passed away; But when my foot had almost slipped, O Lord, Thy mercy was my stay. 10 Amid the doubts that fill my mind Thy comforts, Lord, bring joy to me; Can wickedness, though throned in might, Have fellowship, O Lord, with Thee? 11 The wicked, in their might arrayed, Against the righteous join their power, But to the Lord I flee for help, He is my refuge and my tower. 12 Our God, the refuge of His saints, Will fight against iniquity; Avenger of the innocent The Lord omnipotent will be.

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.
