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.

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

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.

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,

They wish my name to pass away,
Unhonored and unmourned.
6 My foe, deceitful, visits me,
By seeming kindness led,
His heart intent on gathering
Some hurtful news to spread.

Their evil plans devise;
Disease, they say, cleaves fast to him,
Laid low, he shall not rise.
8 Yea, he who was my chosen friend,
In whom I put my trust,
Who ate my bread, now turns in wrath
To crush me in the dust.
9 Do Thou, Jehovah, show me grace,
And raise me up again,
That I with justice may requite
These base and wicked men.
10 By this I know assuredly
That I am loved by Thee,
Because my foe does not exult
In triumph over me.
11 And as for me, in uprightness
Thou dost uphold me well,
And settest me before Thy face
For evermore to dwell.

Draws heavenly courage from his word;

To cheer his heart and bless his eyes.

His works are still before his God;
His name on earth shall long remain,
While envious sinners rage in vain. Scripture: Psalm 112 Languages: English

O God, thy judgments give the King
Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #230 (1961) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Poor Lyrics: 1 O God, thy judgments give the King,
His Son thy righteousness;
With right he shall thy people judge,
Thy poor with uprightness.
And then the mountains shall bring forth
To all the people peace;
The hills because of righteousness
Their blessing shall increase.
2 The people's poor ones he shall judge,
The needy's children bless;
And he will break in pieces those
Who would the poor oppress.
The just shall flourish in his days,
And prosper in his reign;
And while the moon endures he shall
Abundant peace maintain.
3 His large and great dominion shall
From sea to sea extend;
It from the River shall reach forth
To earth's remotest end.
Yea, kings shall all before him bow,
All nations shall obey;
He'll save the needy when he cries,
The poor who hath no stay.
4 Now blessed be the Lord our God,
The God of Israel,
For he alone doth wondrous works
In glory that excel.
And blessed be his glorious Name
To all eternity.
The whole earth let his glory fill;
Amen, so let it be.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 72 Tune Title: OSTEND

Ye have the poor always with you

What were His works, from day to day,
But miracles of pow'r and grace,
That spread salvation thro' our race?
2 Teach us, O Lord, to keep in view
Thy pattern, and thy steps pursue;
Let alms bestowed, let kindness done,
Be witness'd by each rolling sun.
3 That man may last, but never lives,
Who much receives but nothing gives,
Whom none can love, whom none can thank;
Creation's blot, creation's blank.
4 But he, who marks from day to day
In generous acts his radiant way,
Treads the same path his Savior trod,
The path to glory and to God. Scripture: Acts 10:38 Languages: English

With God laid up in store;
Treasure, beyond the changing sky,
Brighter than golden ore.

Have scatter'd here below,
In the fair fertile fields above
To ample harvests grow.

At Jesus' feet I lay;
Grace shall the humble gift receive,
And grace at large repay. Scripture: Luke 12:33 Languages: English

Complaint Against the Wicked
Hymnal: The Psalter #18 (1912) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Poor Remembered by God 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. Scripture: Psalm 10 Languages: English Tune Title: BRIGGS
