My GOD, consider my Distress
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P119l (1766) Topics: Comfort Holiness and Pardon; Counsel and Support from God; Delight in Law of God; Desire of comfort and deliverance Lyrics: 1 My GOD, consider my Distress,
Let Mercy plead my Cause;
Though I have sinn'd against thy Grace,
I can't forget thy Laws.
2 Forbid, forbid the sharp Reproach
Which I so justly fear;
Uphold my Life, uphold my Hopes,
Not let my Shame appear.
3 Be thou a Surety, Lord, for me,
Nor let the Proud oppress;
But make thy waiting Servant see
The Shinings of thy Face.
4 My Eyes with Expectation fail,
My Heart within me cries,
"When will the Lord his Truth fulfil,
"And make my Comforts rise."
5 Look down upon my Sorrows, Lord,
And shew thy Grace the same,
As thou art ever wont t' afford
To those that love thy Name.

And live upon my God.

When new distress begins:

And hate my former sins.

When earthly joys were fled,

Had sunk amongst the dead.

Though they may seem severe;
The sharpest sufferings I endure,
Flow from thy faithful care.

My feet were apt to stray;
But now I learn to keep thy word,
Nor wander from thy way. Scripture: Psalm 119:67 Languages: English
