Hymnal: The Psalms of David #22a (1740) Topics: Complaint of Desertion; Desertion and Distress of Soul First Line: How long, O Lord! shall I complain Lyrics: 1 How long, O Lord! shall I complain,
Like one that seeks his GOD in vain.
Canst thou thy Face for ever hide?
And I still pray and be deny'd?
2 Shall I for ever be forgot,
As one whom thou regardest not?
Still shall my Soul thine Absence mourn?
And still despair of thy Return?
3 How long shall my poor troubled Breast
Be with these anxious Thoughts opprest,
And Satan, my malicious Foe,
Rejoice to see me sunk so low?
4 Hear, Lord, and grant me quick Relief,
Before my Death conclude my Grief;
If thou with-hold thy heav'nly Light,
I sleep in everlasting Night.
5 How will the Pow'rs of Darkness boast,
If but one praying Soul be lost?
But I have trusted in thy Grace,
And shall again behold thy Face.
6 Whate'er my Foes or Fears suggest,
Thou art my Hope, my Joy, my Rest,
My Heart shall feel thy Love, and raise
My chearful Voice to Songs of Praise. Scripture: Psalm 13 Languages: English

My wand'ring Feet have trod!

Lyrics: 1 How long wilt thou conceal thy face?
My God, how long delay?
When shall I feel those heavenly rays
That chase my fears away?
2 How long shall my poor labouring soul
Wrestle and toil in vain?
Thy word can all my foes controul,
And ease my raging pain.
3 See how the Prince of darkness tries
All his malicious arts;
He spreads a mist around my eyes,
And throws his fiery darts.
4 Be thou my son, and thou my shield,
My soul in safety keep;
Make haste before mine eyes are seal'd
In death's eternal sleep.
5 How would the tempter boast aloud,
Should I become his prey!
Behold the sons of hell grow proud
To see thy long delay.
6 But they shall fly at thy rebuke,
And Satan hide his head;
He knows the terrors of thy look,
And hears thy voice with dread.
7 Thou wilt display that sovereign grace,
Whence all my comforts spring;
I shall employ my lips in praise,
And thy salvation sing.
