Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P130a (1766) Topics: Distress relieved Lyrics: 1 Out of the Deeps of long Distress,
The Borders of Despair,

For Crimes of high Degree;
Thy Son has bought them with his Blood,
To draw us near to Thee.

With strong Desires I wait;
My Soul, invited by thy Word,
Stands watching at thy Gate.]

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 Op'nings of thy Face,
And finds a brighter Day.]

Let Isr'el seek his Face;
The Lord is good as well as just,
And plenteous is his Grace.

So waits my Soul before thy Gate;

And find Relief from all their Pain.

And pardons what our Hands have done. Scripture: Psalm 130 Languages: English

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.
Great God, should thy severer eye,
And thine impartial hand,
Mark and revenge iniquity,
No mortal flesh could stand.

Long for the morning skies,
Watch the first beams of breaking light,
And meet them with their eyes;
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.]

Let Isr'el seek his face;

And plenteous is his grace.

For sinners long enslaved;
The great Redeemer is his Son,
And Isr'el shall be saved.]

From deep distress and troubled thoughts
Who is this fair one in distress
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #570 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Deliverance from deep distress Lyrics:
[Who is this fair one in distress,
That travels from the wilderness?
And pressed with sorrows and with sins,
On her beloved Lord she leans.
This is the spouse of Christ our God,
Bought with the treasure of his blood;
And her request and her complaint
Is but the voice of every saint.]
"O let my name engraven stand
Both on thy heart and on thy hand;
Seal me upon thine arm, and wear
That pledge of love for ever there.
"Stronger than death thy love is known,
Which floods of wrath could never drown;
And hell and earth in vain combine
To quench a fire so much divine.
"But I am jealous of my heart,
Lest it should once from thee depart;
Then let thy name be well impressed
As a fair signet on my breast.
"Till thou hast brought me to thy home,
Where fears and doubts can never come,
Thy count'nance let me often see,
And often thou shalt hear from me.
"Come, my Beloved, haste away,
Cut short the hours of thy delay;
Fly like a youthful hart or roe
Over the hills where spices grow."
