Psalm 41

Author: Mrs. A. L. Barbauld Hymnal: Laudes Domini #469 (1890) Topics: Orphans; Orphans First Line: Blest is the man whose softening heart Lyrics: 1 Blest is the man whose softening heart Feels all another's pain; To whom the supplicating eye Was never raised in vain: 2 Whose breast expands with generous warmth A stranger's woes to feel; And bleeds in pity o'er the wound He wants the power to heal. 3 He spreads his kind supporting arms To every child of grief; His secret bounty largely flows, And brings unasked relief. 4 To gentle offices of love His feet are never slow: He views, through mercy's melting eye, A brother in a foe. 5 Peace from the bosom of his God, The Saviour's grace shall give; And, when he kneels before the throne, His trembling soul shall live.

Days going by

Author: George Cooper Hymnal: Laudes Domini #478 (1890) Topics: Orphans; Orphans First Line: There are lonely hearts to cherish Refrain First Line: Up! then, trusty hearts and true Lyrics: 1 There are lonely hearts to cherish While the days are going by; There are weary souls who perish, While the days are going by. If a smile we can renew, As our journey we pursue, Oh, the good we all may do, While the days are going by. Chorus: Up! then, trusty hearts and true, Tho' the day comes, night comes too; Oh, the good we all may do, While the days are going by. 2 There's no time for idle scorning While the days are going by; Let our face be like the morning, While the days are going by. Oh! the world is full of sighs, Full of sad and weeping eyes; Help your fallen brothers rise, While the days are going by. [Chorus] 3 All the loving links that bind us While the days are going by, One by one we leave behind us While the days are going by; But the seeds of good we sow, Both in shade and shrine will grow, And will keep our hearts aglow While the days are going by. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: YEISLEY

Responsibility of Civil Officers

Hymnal: The Psalter #223 (1912) Topics: Orphans First Line: Where'er His creatures gather Lyrics: 1 Where'er His creatures gather The unseen God is near; Let rulers fear their Ruler, Their Judge let judges fear.

How long shall wicked persons Have favor in your sight? 2 Do justice for the helpless, The orphan's cause maintain; Defend the poor and needy, Oppressed and wronged for gain. When rulers walk in darkness, When judges truth forsake, The cornerstones are crumbled, The firm foundations shake. 3 The Most High God has called you And set you up on high, But ye to Him must answer, For ye like men must die. Arise, O God Eternal, Thou Judge of all the earth, Thro' all Thy ransomed nations Send now Thy justice forth. Scripture: Psalm 82 Languages: English Tune Title: ALGIERS

Complaint Against the Wicked

Hymnal: The Psalter #18 (1912) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Orphans First Line: Why standest Thou afar, O Lord Lyrics: 1 Why standest Thou afar, O Lord, Why art Thou hid in trouble's hour? The wicked persecute the poor In haughty pride and reckless pow'r. 2 Let their devices work their fall, For in their shame is all their pride; And while they seek unrighteous gain The Lord of justice is defied. 3 The wicked thinks, in foolish pride, There is no God Who will repay; He has no fear of God or man Because God's judgments long delay. 4 Unmoved by fear of coming doom, On fraud and wickedness intent, With craft he lurks and waits to catch The helpless and the innocent. 5 A lion crouching for his prey, He waits the poor to overthrow; He thinks that God remembers not, Or hides His face and will not know. 6 Arise, O Lord, lift up Thy hand, O God, protect the poor and meek; Why should the proud Thy justice doubt, And words of bold defiance speak? 7 O Lord, Thou wilt indeed requite, The sin and sorrow Thou dost see; The helpless and the fatherless Commit themselves, O Lord, to Thee. 8 Break Thou the pow'r of wicked men And let their works no longer stand; The Lord is King for evermore, Who drove the nations from His land. 9 Lord, Thou hast heard the lowly prayer, The fainting heart Thou wilt restore, The helpless cause Thou wilt maintain, That mortal man may boast no more.
