Your kingdom come, O God!

Author: L. Hensley (1824-1905) Meter: 6.6.6.6 Appears in 129 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Your kingdom come, O God! your rule, O Christ, begin; break with thine iron rod the tyrannies of sin, 2 Where is your reign of peace and purity and love? When shall all hatred cease, as in the realms above? 3 When comes the promised time, the end of strife and war; when lust, oppression, crime and greed shall be no more? 4 O Lord our God, arise and come in your great might! revive our longing eyes which languish for your sight. 5 As rebels scorn your name and wolves devour your fold, by many deeds of shame we learn that love grows cold. 6 On nations near or far thick darkness gathers yet: arise, O Morning Star, arise and never set!

O Lord, my prayer hear

Meter: 6.6.6.6 Appears in 20 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Lord, my prayer hear, and to my suppliant cry in faithfulness give ear, in righteousness reply. 2 In judgment call not me thy servant to be tried, no living man can be in thy sight justified. 3 The foe my soul hath sought, my life to earth doth tread; to darkness me hath brought, as those that long are dead. 4 My spirit therefore vexed o'erwhelmed is me within; my heart in me perplexed, and desolate hath been. 5 Yet I to mind recall what ancient days record, thy works I ponder all, I muse on them O Lord. 6 To thee I stretch my hands, do thou my helper be, behold as thirsty lands my soul doth long for thee. 7 Lord, let my prayer prevail, to answer it make speed; my spirit quite doth fail: hide not thy face in need; lest I be like to those that do in darkness sit, or him that downward goes into the dreadful pit. 8 Because I trust in thee, O Lord, cause me to hear thy loving-kindness free, when morning doth appear: make me to know the way wherein my path should be; because my soul each day I do lift up to thee. 9 O Lord, deliver me from all who me oppose: to thee, my God, I fee, to hide me from my foes. 10 No God have I but thee, teach me to do thy will: thy Spirit's good, lead me in a plain pathway still.

All those who trust the Lord

Meter: 6.6.6.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 All those who trust the Lord like Zion are secure, which never can be moved but always will endure. 2 Just as the mountains stand around Jerusalem, the Lord surrounds His own, for ever guarding them. 3 The rule of wicked men will not remain for long upon the just men's land, lest righteous men do wrong. 4 On all those who are good bestow Your goodness, Lord — to those of upright heart who reverence Your word. 5 But God will banish those who choose a crooked way; with sinners they will go. Let peace on Israel stay. Topics: The Temple The People of God Scripture: Psalm 125 Used With Tune: ST CECILIA Text Sources: Free Church of Scotland Psalmody Committee
