The Lord will come and not be slow
Author: J. Milton (cento), 1608-74 Appears in 98 hymnals Used With Tune: COLESHILL
The Lord will come and not be slow
Prayer is the soul's sincere desire
Author: James Montgomery (1771-1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 849 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Prayer is the soul's sincere desire,
unuttered or expressed,
the motion of a hidden fire
that trembles in the breast.
2 Prayer is the burden of a sigh,
the falling of a tear,
the upward glancing of an eye,
when none but God is near.
3 Prayer is the simplest form of speech
that infant lips can try;
prayer the sublimest strains that reach
the Majesty on high.
4 Prayer is the Christians' vital breath,
the Christians' native air;
their watchword at the gates of death;
they enter heaven with prayer.
5 Prayer is not made by us alone:
the Holy Spirit pleads,
and Jesus, on the eternal throne,
for sinners intercedes.
6 O Christ, by whom we come to God,
the Life, the Truth, the Way:
the path of prayer yourself have trod,
Lord, teach us how to pray. Topics: Life in Christ Our Response to Christ - In Devotion; Prayer Scripture: Acts 7:59-60 Used With Tune: COLESHILL

When blooming youth is snatch'd away

When blooming youth is snatch'd away
O thou my soul, bless God the Lord
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 100 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O thou my soul, bless God the Lord;
and all that in me is
be stirred up his holy name
to magnify and bless.
2 Bless, O my soul, the Lord thy God,
and not forgetful be
of all his gracious benefits
he hath bestowed on thee.
3 All thine iniquities who doth
most graciously forgive:
who thy diseases all and pains
doth heal, and thee relieve.
4 Who doth redeem thy life, that thou
to death mayest not go down;
who thee with loving-kindness doth
and tender mercies crown:
5 Who with abundance of good things
doth satisfy thy mouth;
so that, even as the eagle’s age,
renewed is thy youth.
6 God righteous judgment executes
for all oppressed ones.
7 His ways to Moses he made known,
his acts to Israel’s sons.
8 The Lord our God is merciful,
and he is gracious,
long-suffering, and slow to wrath,
in mercy plenteous.
9 He will not chide continually,
nor keep his anger still.
10 With us he dealt not as we sinned,
nor did requite our ill.
11 For as the heaven in its height
the earth surmounteth far,
so great to those that do him fear
his tender mercies are:
12 As far as east is distant from
the west, so far hath he
from us removed, in his love,
all our iniquity.
13 Such pity as a father hath
unto his children dear,
like pity shows the Lord to such
as worship him in fear.
14 For he remembers we are dust,
and he our frame well knows.
15 Frail man, his days are like the grass,
as flower in field he grows:
16 For over it the wind doth pass,
and it away is gone;
and of the place where once it was
it shall no more be known.
17 But unto them that do him fear
God’s mercy never ends;
and to their children’s children still
his righteousness extends:
18 To such as keep his covenant,
and mindful are alway
Of his commandments just and good,
that they may them obey. Scripture: Psalm 103:1-18 Used With Tune: COLESHILL
O thou my soul, bless God the Lord
Out of the Deeps of Long Distress
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 70 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Out of the deeps of long distress,
The borders of despair,
I sent my cries to seek Thy grace,
My groans to move Thine ear.
2. Great God, should Thy severer eye,
And Thine impartial hand,
Mark and revenge iniquity,
No mortal flesh could stand.
3. But there are pardons with my God
For crimes of high degree;
Thy Son has bought them with His blood,
To draw us near to Thee.
4. I wait for Thy salvation, Lord,
With strong desires I wait;
My soul, invited by Thy Word,
Stands watching at Thy gate.
5. Just as the guards that keep the night
Long for the morning skies,
Watch the first beams of breaking light,
And meet them with their eyes;
6. So waits my soul to see Thy grace,
And, more intent than they,
Meets the first openings of Thy face,
And finds a brighter day.
7. Then in the Lord let Israel trust,
Let Israel seek His face;
The Lord is good as well as just,
And plenteous is His grace.
8. There’s full redemption at His throne
For sinners long enslaved;
The great Redeemer is His Son,
And Israel shall be saved. Used With Tune: DUBLIN (Barton) Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

Lord, from the depths to thee I cried
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 28 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 130 Used With Tune: COLESHILL
Lord, from the depths to thee I cried
O Lord, the God to whom alone
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 O Lord, the God to whom alone
all vengeance doth belong;
thou, who the God of vengeance art,
shine forth, avenging wrong.
2 Lift up thyself, thou of the earth
the sovereign judge that art;
and unto those that haughty are
a recompense impart.
3 How long, Jehovah, shall the men
who evil-doers be,
how long shall they who wicked are
thus triumph haughtily?
4 How long shall grievous things be them
be uttered and told?
And all that work iniquity
to boast themselves be bold?
5 Thy folk they break in pieces, Lord,
thine heritage oppress;
6 the widow and the stranger slay,
and kill the fatherless
7 yet say, The Lord shall not perceive,
nor God of Jacob know.
8 Ye brutish people! understand;
fools! when wise will ye grow?
9 Shall he who plants the ear of man
to hear unable be?
and he who fashioneth the eye,
shall he not clearly see?
10 He who the nations doth correct,
shall he reproof not show?
he that doth knowledge teach to man,
shall he himself not know?
11 Man's thoughts to be but vanity
the Lord doth well discern.
12 Blessed is the man thou chastenest, Lord,
and mak'st thy law to learn:
13 that thou mayest give him rest from days
of sad adversity,
until the pit be digged for those
that work iniquity.
14 Because the Lord will not cast off
those that his people be,
nor yet his own inheritance
forsake at all will he:
15 but judgment unto righteousness
shall yet return again,
and all shall follow after it
that are right-hearted men.
16 Who will rise up for me against
those that do wickedly?
Who will stand up for me 'gainst those that work iniquity?
17 Unless the Lord had been my help,
my soul in death had lain;
18 but if I say, My foot doth slip,
thy love doth me sustain.
19 Amidst the multitude of cares
whereby I am oppressed,
thy comforts, Lord, refresh my soul,
thy mercies give me rest.
20 Shall of iniquity the throne
have fellowship with thee,
which mischief, cunningly contrived,
doth by a law decree?
21 Against the righteous souls they join,
they guiltless blood condemn.
22 But of my refuge God's the rock
and my defence from them.
23 On them their own iniquity
the Lord shall cause to fall,
and in their sin shall cut them off;
our God destroy them shall.
Scripture: Psalm 94 Used With Tune: COLESHILL
O Lord, the God to whom alone
