Though I Am Poor and Sorrowful
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #135 (1934) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Poor Lyrics: 1 Though I am poor and sorrowful,
Hear Thou, O God, my cry;
Let Thy salvation come to me
And lift me up on high.
2 Then will I praise my God with song,
To Him my thanks shall rise,
And this shall please Jehovah more
Than offered sacrifice.
3 The meek shall see it and rejoice;
Ye saints, no more be sad;
For lo, Jehovah hears the poor
And makes His prisoners glad.
4 Let heaven and earth and seas rejoice,
Let all therein give praise,
For Zion God will surely save,
Her broken walls will raise.
5 In Zion they that love His Name
Shall dwell from age to age;
Yea, there shall be their lasting rest,
Their children's heritage. Scripture: Psalm 69 Languages: English Tune Title: BALERMA
Though I Am Poor and Sorrowful
Friends of the poor, the young, the weak
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #312 (1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Children appeal from poor Lyrics:
Friends of the poor, the young, the weak,
Regard our humble train;
Compassion at your hands we seek;
Shall children plead in vain?
Were you not children once?--Renew
The time when young as we;
Think of the friends that nourish'd you,
And hearken to our plea.
Are there not feelings from above,
In every heart that reign?
The pulse, the voice, the look of love:--
Shall Nature plead in vain?
Have you no dear ones round your hearth,
As weak and young as we?
Think, if like ours had been their birth,
Could you resist the plea?
Have you not known a Saviour's grace,
For man's redemption slain?
Behold that Saviour in our place;--
Shall Jesus plead in vain?
No;--by His early griefs and tears,
When poor and young as we;
By all His woes in after years,
Accept your Saviour's plea.

Praise him, all ye hosts above;
Shout with joyful acclamations,

Be his kingdom now promoted,
Let the earth her monarch know;
Be my all to him devoted,
To my Lord my all I owe.

Are their feet, whose grand design
Is to guide us to the fountains,
That o’erflow with bliss divine,—
Who proclaim the joyful tidings
Of salvation all around,—
Disregard the world’s deridings,
And in works of love abound.

My Redeemer and my Lord;
Were ten thousand worlds my manor
All were nothing to his word:
While the heralds of salvation
His abounding grace proclaim,
Let his friends of every station,
Gladly join to spread his fame. Languages: English

Though I Am Poor and Sorrowful

Though I Am Poor and Sorrowful

All poor men and humble
Happy poverty; or, the poor in spirit blessed
Author: Steele Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCXXXIV (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Happiness Of the poor in spirit; Poor in spirit blessed First Line: Ye humble souls, complain no more Lyrics: 1 Ye humble souls, complain no more,
Let faith survey your future store;
How happy, how divinely blest,
The sacred words of truth attest.
2 When conscious grief laments sincere,
And pours the penitential tear;
Hope points to your dejected eyes,
The bright reversion in the skies.
3 In vain the sons of wealth and pride
Despise your lot, your hopes deride:
In vain they boast their little stores,
Trifles are theirs, a kingdom yours:—
4 A kingdom of immense delight,
Where health, and peace, and joy unite;
Where undeclining pleasures rise,
And every wish hath full supplies:
5 A kingdom which can ne'er decay,
While time sweeps earthly thrones away;
The state which power and truth sustain,
Unmov'd for ever must remain.
6 There shall your eyes with rapture view
The glorious friend that dy'd for you;
That dy'd to ransom, dy'd to raise
To crowns of joy, and songs of praise.
7 Jesus, to thee I breathe my prayer,
Reveal, confirm my interest there:
Whate'er my humble lot below,
This, this my soul desires to know!
8 O let me hear that voice divine
Pronounce the glorious blessing mine!
Enroll'd among thy happy poor,
My largest wishes ask no more. Scripture: Matthew 5:3 Languages: English

Lord, from thy blessed throne
Author: Nicholl Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #801 (1873) Topics: God Save the Poor Lyrics: 1 Lord, from thy blessed throne,
Sorrow look down upon!
God save the poor!
Teach them true liberty,
Make them from tyrants free,
Let their homes happy be!
God save the poor!
2 The arms of wicked men
Do thou with might restrain;
God save the poor!
Raise thou their lowliness,
Succor thou their distress,
Thou whom the meanest bless;
God save the poor!
3 Give them stanch honesty,
Let their pride manly be;
God save the poor!
Help them to hold the right,
Give them both truth and might,
Lord of all life and light!
God save the poor!
Lord, from thy blessed throne
Come the rich, and come the poor

Come the rich, and come the poor
Poor, wildered, weeping heart
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #1026 (1873) Meter: Irregular Topics: Poor, Wildered, Weeping Heart Lyrics: 1 Poor, wildered, weeping heart,
What can relieve thee?
Come, sinful as thou art,
Christ will receive thee:
Come, though with woes opprest,
Soft is thy Saviour's breast,
There mayst thou sweetly rest,
There naught can grieve thee.
2 Come, trembling, timid soul,
Why this delaying?
Thunders that o'er thee roll,
Fall on thee straying:
Turn from destruction's ways,
Turn to the throne of grace,
There seek thy Father's face,
Weeping and praying.
3 Hence, guilty fear and doubt,
Leave me for ever:
Lord, wilt thou cast me out?
Never, oh, never!
From unbelief of mind,
From thoughts to sin inclined,
From flesh and hell combined,
Thou wilt deliver.

Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #CCLXXVII (1790) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.8.7.6 Topics: The Poor Sinner First Line: God of my salvation, hear Lyrics: 1 God of my salvation hear,
And help me to believe;
Simply do I now draw near,
Thy blessing to receive;
Full of guilt, alas! I am,
But to thy wounds for refuge flee;
Friend of sinners, spotless Lamb,
Thy blood was shed for me.
2 Nothing have I, LORD, to pay,
Nor can thy grace procure;
Empty send me not away,
For I, thou know'st, am poor,
Dust and ashes is my name,
My all is sin, and misery:
Friend of sinners, spotless Lamb,
Thy blood was shed for me.
3 Without money, without price,
I come thy love to buy;
From myself I turn my eyes,
The chief of sinners, I:
Take, O take me, as I am,
And let me lose myself in thee;
Friend of sinners, spotless lamb,
Thy blood was shed for me.

Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #CCLXXVIII (1790) Topics: The Poor Sinner First Line: Jesu, friend of sinners hear Lyrics: 1 Jesu, friend of Ssinners hear,
Yet once again, I pray;
From my debt of sin set clear,
For I have nought to pay.
Speak, O speak the kind release!
A poor backsliding soul restore;
Love me freely, seal my peace,
And bid me sin no more.
2 Sin's deceitfulness hath spread
An hardness o'er my heart;
But if thou thy Spirit shedl
The stony shall depart;
Shed thy love, thy tenderness,
And let me feel the soft'ning pow'r,
Love me freely, seal my peace,
And bid me sin no more.
3 For this only thing I pray,
And this I will require,
Take the love of sin away,
Take ev'ry vain desire!
Perfect me in holiness,
Thine image to my soul restore;
Love me freely seal my peace,
And bid me sin no more.
