Before Thee, Lord, a People Waits

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #124 (1934) Meter: 8.8.6 D Topics: God the Hearer of Prayer Lyrics: 1 Before Thee, Lord, a people waits To praise Thy Name in Zion's gates, To Thee shall vows be paid; Thou Hearer of the suppliant's prayer, To Thee in need shall all repair To seek Thy gracious aid. 2 How great my trespasses appear; But Thou from guilt my soul wilt clear, And my transgressions hide. How blest Thy chosen, who by grace Are brought within Thy dwelling-place That they may there abide. 3 The goodness of Thy house, O Lord, The joys Thy holy courts afford, Our souls shall satisfy; By deeds of might, in justice wrought, The Lord will grant us what we sought, Our Savior, God Most High. 4 On Thy sustaining arm depend, To earth's and sea's remotest end, All men in every age; Thy strength establishes the hills, Thy word the roaring billows stills, And calms the peoples' rage. 5 The tribes of earth's remotest lands Behold the tokens of Thy hands And bow in godly fear; The east, where beams the morning light, The west, in evening glories bright, Rejoice, for Thou art near.

The Lord Has Heard and Answered Prayer

To God Will I Direct My Prayer

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #153 (1934) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: God the Hearer of Prayer Lyrics: 1 To God will I direct my prayer, And He will make my needs His care; I trust Him still, though in my grief No answer yet has brought relief; With hands stretched out through all the night, Uncomforted I sought for light. 2 The thought of God brought me no peace, But rather made my fears increase; With sleepless eyes and speechless pain My fainting spirit grieved in vain; The blessedness of long ago Made deeper still my present woe. 3 Recalling days when faith was bright, When songs of gladness filled my night, I pondered o'er my grievous woes And searching questioning arose: Will God cast off, and nevermore His favor to my soul restore? 4 I asked in fear and bitterness: Will God forsake me in distress? Shall I His promise faithless find? Has God forgotten to be kind? Has He in anger hopelessly Removed His love and grace from me? 5 These doubts and fears that troubled me Were born of my infirmity; Though I am weak, God is most high, And on His goodness I rely; Of all His wonders I will tell, And on His deeds my thoughts shall dwell.

O all ye peoples, bless our God, Aloud proclaim His praise, Who safely holds our soul in life, And steadfast makes our ways. Scripture: Psalm 66 Languages: English Tune Title: ANCYRA
