Psalm 13

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 64 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 13 First Line: How long wilt thou conceal thy face? Lyrics: How long wilt thou conceal thy face? My God, how long delay? When shall I feel those heav'nly rays That chase my fears away? How long shall my poor lab'ring soul Wrestle and toil in vain? Thy word can all my foes control, And ease my raging pain. See how the prince of darkness tries All his malicious arts He spreads a mist around my eyes, And throws his fiery darts. Be thou my sun, and thou my shield, My soul in safety keep; Make haste, before mine eyes are sealed In death's eternal sleep. How would the tempter boast aloud If I become his prey! Behold, the sons of hell grow proud At thy so long delay. 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. Thou wilt display that sovereign grace, Where all my hopes have hung; I shall employ my lips in praise, And victory shall be sung.

Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us, sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us; facing the rising sun of our new day begun, let us march on till victory is won. 2 Stony the road we trod, bitter the chastening rod, felt in the days when hope unborn had died; yet with a steady beat, have not our weary feet come to the place for which our people sighed? We have come over a way that with tears has been watered, we have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered, out from the gloomy past, till now we stand at last where the white gleam of our bright star is cast. 3 God of our weary years, God of our silent tears, thou who hast brought us thus far on the way; thou who hast, by thy might, led us into the light, keep us forever in the path, we pray. Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met thee, lest, our hearts drunk with the wine of the world, we forget thee; shadowed beneath thy hand, may we forever stand, true to our God, true to our native land.

Psalm XIII

Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 13 First Line: How long wilt thou, O God of grace Lyrics: I. How long wilt thou, O God of grace, Forget thy wonted love? How long conceal thy shining face, Nor bid the cloud remove? II. How long shall my dejected soul, (Thus pond'ring o'er her woes,) In vain endeavor to controul The pow'r of inward foes? III. Lord, hear my pray'r, and heal my woes, Arise with chearing light; Or soon these wretched eyes will close In everlasting night. IV. The pow'rs of darkness will rejoice To see my life decay, And triumph with insulting voice Around their trembling prey. V. But, Lord, thy mercy hitherto Has been my only trust; Let mercy now my joys renew, And raise me from the dust. VI. Then shall my heart and tongue proclaim The bounties of my God, My songs with grateful rapture flame, And spread thy praise abroad.

When We Lose A Child or Parent

Author: Mary Nelson Keithahn Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 13:2 First Line: When we lose a child or parent, Lyrics: When we lose a child or parent,husband dear, a wife, a friend,there are painful, empty places in our hearts until life's end.Though we learn to go on living,no one takes a loved one's place.Is this loneliness a curse, God,or a blessed gift of grace? Look into these empty placesat our hidden feelings, fears;free us, God, from guilt and anger,and release love's healing tears.Lead us to recall with laughterhappy times with loved ones lost, find the joy of loving othersworth the pain that it has cost.Let the love we shared together give us comfort, ease our pain,that one day we may awakento your rainbow in the rain.Thank you, God, for empty placesin our lives when loved ones die,for they keep us still connectedas the days and years pass by.

How long wilt thou forget me, Lord?

Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 13 Lyrics: 1. How long wilt thou forget me, Lord? Forever shall thy Promise fail: How long before thy Face afford One Beam of Light, thro' this dark Vail? 2. How long shall I in Soul consult. And daily Sorrows wound my Heart? How long shall my proud Foes insult. And o'er me act the Tyrant's Part? 3. Consider, Lord, my piteous Case, Hear, O my God, the Cries I make; Mine Eyes, enlighten with thy Grace, Lest Death's deep Sleep me overtake. 4. Lest my proud Foe, with boasting Voice, Should say, against him I've prevail'd; And those that trouble me rejoice. To see my stedfast Hopes have fail'd. 5. But underneath thy saving Wings, My Trust is ever firmly stay'd; Therefore my Heart with Gladness springs. In Prospect of thy promis'd Aid. 6. With grateful Heart, my Songs of Praise, I'll humbly to the Lord address; For he, according to his Grace, Dealt well with me in my Distress.
