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

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #210 (1934) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: God the Hearer of Prayer Lyrics: 1 The Lord has heard and answered prayer And saved His people in distress; This to the coming age declare, That they His holy Name may bless. 2 The Lord, exalted on His throne, Looked down from heaven with pitying eye To still the lowly captive’s moan And save His people doomed to die. 3 All men in Zion shall declare His gracious Name with one accord, When kings and nations gather there To serve and worship God the Lord. 4 Before my journey is complete My vigor fails, my years decline; My God, O spare me, I entreat; The days of life are wholly Thine. 5 Attend, O Lord, to my desire, O haste to answer when I pray, For grief consumes my strength like fire, My days as smoke pass swift away. 6 O cut not short my life's brief day, O Thou whose years eternal run, Thou who didst earth's foundations lay, Creator of the stars and sun. 7 The earth and heavens shall pass away, Like vesture worn and laid aside, But changeless Thou shalt live for aye, Thy years forever shall abide. 8 Thou, O Jehovah, shalt endure, Thy throne forever is the same; And to all generations sure Shall be Thy great memorial Name. 9 Thy servants’ children shall remain Forevermore before Thy face; Enduring honor they shall gain, Established ever in Thy grace.

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.

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #126 (1934) Topics: God the Hearer of Prayer Lyrics: 1 O all ye peoples, bless our God, Aloud proclaim His praise, Who safely holds our soul in life And steadfast makes our ways. Thou, Lord, hast proved and tested us As silver tried by fire; Thy hand has made our burden great And thwarted our desire 2 Through pain and trouble Thou hast led, And humbled all our pride; But, in the end, to liberty And wealth Thy hand did guide. Here in Thy house I give to Thee The life that Thou dost bless, And pay the solemn vows I made When I was in distress. 3 Come, ye that fear the Lord, and hear What He has done for me; My cry for help is turned to praise, For He has set me free. If in my heart I sin regard, My prayer He will not hear; But truly God has heard my voice, My prayer has reached His ear. 4 O let the Lord, our gracious God, Forever blessed be, Who has not turned my prayer from Him, Nor yet His grace from me. 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

Jesus knows our every weakness; Take it to the Lord in prayer! 3 Are we weak and heavy laden, Cumbered with a load of care?– Precious Savior, still our refuge!– Take it to the Lord in prayer!

Be Thou, O God, exalted high, Yea, far above the starry sky, And let Thy glory be displayed O’er all the earth Thy hands have made. 3 My soul is grieved because my foes With treacherous plans my way enclose; But from the snares that they devise Their own undoing shall arise. My heart is steadfast, O my King, My heart is tuned Thy praise to sing; Awake, my soul, and swell the song, Let vibrant harp the notes prolong. 4 Yea, I will early wake and sing, A thankful hymn to Thee will bring, For unto heaven Thy mercies rise, Thy truth is lofty as the skies. Be Thou, O God, exalted high, Yea, far above the starry sky, And let Thy glory be displayed O’er all the earth Thy hands have made.

They that Traffic on the Sea

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #228 (1934) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Topics: God the Hearer of Prayer Lyrics: 1 They that traffic on the sea, While unceasing watch they keep, See Jehovah's majesty And His wonders in the deep; For He bids the storm-wind fly, Lifting ocean's waves on high. 2 By the billows heaven-ward tossed, Down to dreadful depths again, Troubled much, their courage lost, Reeling, they like drunken men Find their skill and pow'r o'erthrown; None can save but God alone. 3 To Jehovah then they cry In their trouble, and He saves, Drives the darkness from the sky, Calms the storm and stills the waves, Makes their sad forebodings cease, To their haven guides in peace. 4 Sons of men, awake to praise God the Lord who reigns above, Gracious in His works and ways, Wondrous in redeeming love; Praise Him where the people meet, Praise Him in the elders' seat.
