In troublous times may surely rest.All they, O Lord, that know Thy Name

Who earnestly have sought Thy face.Sing praises to the Lord most high;

To humble the proud and to teach them Thy fear.Refrain

When the great Judge, supreme and just,

The humble souls that mourn in dust
Shall find a faithful God.He from the dreadful gates of death
Does His own children raise;
In Zion’s gates, with cheerful breath,
They sing their Father’s praise.His foes shall fall, with heedless feet,
Into the pit they made;
And sinners perish in the net
That their own hands had spread.Thus, by Thy judgments, mighty God,
Are Thy deep counsels known;
When men of mischief are destroyed,
The snare must be their own.The wicked shall sink down to hell;
Thy wrath devour the lands
That dare forget Thee, or rebel
Against Thy known commands.Though saints to sore distress are brought,
And wait and long complain,
Their cries shall not be still forgot,
Nor shall their hopes be vain.Rise, great Redeemer, from Thy seat,
To judge and save the poor;

And man prevail no more.Thy thunder shall affright the proud,

[Mzm 10:1] O Why So Far Removed
O why so far removed, O Lord,
And why so distant be;
Why hidest Thou Thy face from us
In our anxiety?The wicked in unholy pride
The lowly poor oppress;
Let them be taken in the snare
Of their own craftiness.The wicked in his arrogance
Refuses God to fear,
Nor is it in his thoughts at all
The sovereign God to hear.His ways are grievous and Thy laws
Too high for him to see;
He therefore his defiance bids,
And taunts his enemy.For he within his heart has said,
I suffer no distress,
Adversity comes not to me,
I still have had success.In cursing and deceit and fraud
His tongue is ever skilled;
With festering iniquity
His mouth is ever filled.He lurks in village hiding place,
And in dark corners bent,
He watches for the humble poor,
To seize the innocent.In stealth he cowers covertly
As lion in his lair,
That he may pounce upon the poor,
And catch him in his snare.He crouches low so that the poor
To his strong friends may fall,
And tells himself that God forgets
Or sees it not at all.Arise, O Lord, and lift Thy hand,
The poor in memory keep.
How can the wicked blaspheme God
And say He is asleep?For surely Thou dost see, O Lord,
Dost see the sin and spite;
And when the helpless look to Thee
Thou dost their wrong requite.Break Thou the force of evil men,
Befriend the fatherless,
Trace out the wicked everywhere,
Uproot their wickedness.The Lord our God is sovereign still,
The heathen all are slain.
Thou, Lord, hast heard the suppliant’s prayer
And dost his heart sustain.No more shall boasting arrogance
Or taunting pride oppress;
The poor and orphaned Thou wilt hear
And judge with righteousness.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Mzm 10:1] Wherefore Is It That Thou, O Lord
Wherefore is it that Thou, O Lord,
Dost stand from us afar?
And wherefore hidest Thou Thyself,
When times so troublous are?The wicked in his loftiness
Doth persecute the poor:
In these devices they have fram’d
Let them be taken sure.The wicked of his heart’s desire
Doth talk with boasting great;
He blesseth him that’s covetous,
Whom yet the Lord doth hate.The wicked, through his pride of face,
On God he doth not call;
And in the counsels of his heart
The Lord is not at all.His ways they always grievous are;
Thy judgments from his sight
Removèd are: at all his foes
He puffeth with despight.Within his heart he thus hath said,
I shall not movèd be;
And no adversity at all
Shall ever come to me.His mouth with cursing, fraud, deceit,
Is fill’d abundantly;
And underneath his tongue there is
Mischief and vanity.He closely sits in villages;
He slays the innocent:
Against the poor that pass him by
His cruel eyes are bent.He, lion-like, lurks in his den;
He waits the poor to take;
And when he draws him in his net,
His prey he doth him make.Himself he humbleth very low,
He croucheth down withal,
That so a multitude of poor
May by his strong ones fall.He thus hath said within his heart,
The Lord hath quite forgot;
He hides His countenance, and He
For ever sees it not.O Lord, do Thou arise; O God,
Lift up Thine hand on high:
Put not the meek afflicted ones
Out of Thy memory.Why is it that the wicked man
Thus doth the Lord despise?
Because that God will it require
He in his heart denies.Thou hast it seen; for their mischief
And spite Thou wilt repay:
The poor commits himself to Thee;
Thou art the orphan’s stay.The arm break of the wicked man,
And of the evil one;
Do Thou seek out his wickedness,
Until Thou findest none.The Lord is King through ages all,
Ev’n to eternity;
The heathen people from His land
Are perish’d utterly.O Lord, of those that humble are
Thou the desire didst hear;
Thou wilt prepare their heart, and Thou
To hear wilt bend Thine ear;To judge the fatherless, and those
That are oppressèd sore;
That man, that is but sprung of earth,
May them oppress no more.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Mzm 10:1] Why Dost Thou Stand Afar
Why dost Thou stand afar,
O Lord, in our distress?
And why dost Thou conceal Thyself
When troublous times oppress?Do Thou, O Lord, arise;
O God, lift up Thy hand;
Forget Thou not the suffering poor,
The humble in the land.Their foes Thou dost behold,
Their wrongs Thou wilt repay;
The poor commit themselves to Thee,
Thou art the orphans’ stay.Thou, Lord, hast heard their prayer
When humble hearts drew nigh;
Thou also wilt revive their strength
And ever hear their cry.Defend the fatherless,
And all who are oppressed,
That they by human pride and power
May be no more distressed.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Mzm 10:1] Why Doth The Lord Stand Off So Far?
Why doth the Lord stand off so far?
And why conceal His face,
When great calamities appear,
And times of deep distress?Lord, shall the wicked still deride
Thy justice and Thy power?
Shall they advance their heads in pride,
And still Thy saints devour?They put Thy judgments from their sight,
And then insult the poor;
They boast in their exalted height,
That they shall fall no more.Arise, O God, lift up Thine hand,
Attend our humble cry;
No enemy shall dare to stand
When God ascends on high.Why do the men of malice rage,
And say, with foolish pride,
“The God of Heav’n will ne’er engage
To fight on Zion’s side?”But Thou forever art our Lord;
And powerful is Thine hand,
As when the heathens felt Thy sword,
And perished from Thy land.Thou wilt prepare our hearts to pray,
And cause Thine ear to hear;
He hearkens what His children say,
And puts the world in fear.Proud tyrants shall no more oppress,
No more despise the just;
And mighty sinners shall confess
They are but earth and dust.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Mzm 10:1] Why Standest Thou Afar, O Lord?
Why standest Thou afar, O Lord,
Why art Thou hid in trouble’s hour?
The wicked persecute the poor
In haughty pride and reckless power.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.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.Unmoved by fear of coming doom,
On fraud and wickedness intent,
With craft he lurks and waits to catch
The helpless and the innocent.A lion crouching for his prey,
He waits the poor to overthrow;
He thinks that God remembers not,

To Him all mortal things are known,
His eyelids search our spirits through.If He afflicts His saints so far,
To prove their love and try their grace,
What may the bold transgressors fear?
His very soul abhors their ways.On impious wretches He shall rain
Tempests of brimstone, fire and death;

What can for them avail,
When all foundations are destroyed,

His eyes behold the sons of men
Their hearts and way to try.The Lord the righteous proves;

True faith seems quenched on every hand,
Men suffer not Thy Word to stand;
Dark times have us o’ertaken.With fraud which they themselves invent
Thy truth they have confounded;
Their hearts are not with one consent
On Thy pure doctrine grounded.
While they parade with outward show,
They lead the people to and fro,
In error’s maze astounded.May God root out all heresy
And of false teachers rid us
Who proudly say: “Now, where is he
That shall our speech forbid us?
By right or might we shall prevail;
What we determine cannot fail;
We own no lord and master.”Therefore saith God, “I must arise,
The poor My help are needing;
To Me ascend My people’s cries,
And I have heard their pleading.
For them My saving Word shall fight
And fearlessly and sharply smite,
The poor with might defending.”As silver tried by fire is pure
From all adulteration,
So through God’s Word shall men endure
Each trial and temptation.
Its light beams brighter through the cross,
And, purified from human dross,
It shines through every nation.Thy truth defend, O God, and stay
This evil generation;
And from the error of their way
Keep Thine own congregation.

And follows His commands.He speaks the meaning of his heart,
Nor slanders with his tongue;
Will scarce believe an ill report,
Nor do his neighbor wrong.The wealthy sinner he contemns,
Loves all that fear the Lord;
And though to his own hurt he swears,
Still he performs his word.His hands disdain a golden bribe,
And never gripe the poor:
This man shall dwell with God on earth,
And find his Heav’n secure.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Mzm 15:1] Why Doth The Lord Stand Off So Far?
Why doth the Lord stand off so far?
And why conceal His face,
When great calamities appear,
And times of deep distress?Lord, shall the wicked still deride
Thy justice and Thy power?
Shall they advance their heads in pride,
And still Thy saints devour?They put Thy judgments from their sight,
And then insult the poor;
They boast in their exalted height,
That they shall fall no more.Arise, O God, lift up Thine hand,
Attend our humble cry;
No enemy shall dare to stand
When God ascends on high.Why do the men of malice rage,
And say, with foolish pride,
“The God of Heav’n will ne’er engage
To fight on Zion’s side?”But Thou forever art our Lord;
And powerful is Thine hand,
As when the heathens felt Thy sword,
And perished from Thy land.Thou wilt prepare our hearts to pray,
And cause Thine ear to hear;
He hearkens what His children say,
And puts the world in fear.Proud tyrants shall no more oppress,
No more despise the just;
And mighty sinners shall confess
They are but earth and dust.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

God, keep me safe; in You I refuge take.
You are my Lord; I have no good elsewhere.
The hearts of all idolaters will ache;
In all their sacrifices I’ll not share.Lord, my inheritance You have assigned;
You guard what’s mine and make me feel secure.
Your boundary lines are pleasant to my mind;
Your future blessings will bring joy for sure.Lord, I will praise You for Your counsel wise;
Even at night my heart tells me Your way.
I’ll always set You first before my eyes;
You’re right beside me; I won’t be afraid.My heart is glad; my tongue rejoices e’er;
I know You will not leave me when I die.
The path of life to me You will declare;

O God, preserve me, for in Thee
Alone my trust has stood;

My chief and only good.I love Thy saints, who fear Thy Name,
And walk as in Thy sight;
They are the excellent of earth,
In them is my delight.Their sorrows shall be multiplied
Who worship aught but Thee;
I share not in their offerings,
Nor join their company.The Lord is mine inheritance,
The Lord alone remains
The fullness of my cup of bliss;

How empty and how poor I am;
My praise can never make Thee blessed,
Nor add new glories to Thy Name.Yet, Lord, Thy saints on earth may reap
Some profit by the good we do;
These are the company I keep,
These are the choicest friends I know.Let others choose the songs of mirth
To give a relish to their wine;

Whose thoughts and language are divine.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

Whose counsel guides aright;
My heart instructs me in His love
In seasons of the night.I keep before me still
The Lord Whom I have proved;
At my right hand He guards from ill,
And I shall not be moved.

To Thy right hand wilt guide,

[Mzm 16:10] Ye Men Of Israel, Hear
Ye men of Israel, hear
The words of truth and grace,
Jesus did in the flesh appear
To save a sinking race;
A Man of God approved,
By signs and wonders known,
Jesus, the Father’s well-beloved,
The co-eternal Son.The Prince of Life and Peace,
By Heav’n’s supreme decree
Delivered up, ye dared to seize,
And nail Him to the tree;
Taken by wicked hands,
And crucified and slain;
But God hath loosed the mortal bands,
And raised Him up again.It was not possible
That death should keep his Prey;
God would not leave His soul in hell,
Or let His flesh decay:
His flesh reposed in hope
Of the third joyful morn,
And then the Father raised Him up,
And God again was born.This Jesus is restored
To life by power divine;
We all proclaim our living Lord,
And in His praises join:
We are His witnesses,
He is gone up on high,
Exalted to His native place,
He lives no more to die.Again at God’s right hand
Our Lord is called to sit,
Till all who now His sway withstand
Are crushed beneath His feet:
Be it to Israel’s seed,
To every sinner known,
God hath performed His oath indeed,
Hath glorified His Son.Sinners, believe He died,
And rose to buy your peace;
Jesus the Christ, the Crucified,
The Lord of Life confess;
Repent in Jesus’ Name,
Believe and be forgiven,
And take the Holy Ghost ye claim,
And rise with us to Heaven.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

Only a whisper to tell Thou art near,
Only Thy sunshine to banish my fear.Refrain

Lifting so gently my burden of care;

Undisturbed, our hearts rejoice;
Patient, wait the brighter morrow;
Faithful, heed the Father’s voice.As the stars in order going,
All-harmonious, He doth move;
Heavenly calm and comfort showing,
Comes the healing word of love.
Who the word of wisdom heareth
Feels the Father Love within,
Where as dawn the shadow cleareth,
Love outshines the night of sin.So we find the true atonement,
Know in God the perfect Friend;
For in love is our atonement,
Where all hearts in Him may blend.
Here from prisoning pain and sorrow
Have we all a sure release,
Only God can bring us gladness,
Only God can give us peace.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

To join in all the praises the
Redeemèd ones do sing.
Within those heavenly places,
Where the angels veil their faces,
In awe and adoration, in
The presence of the King!Refrain
Oh, I shall soon be yonder,
And lonely as I wander,
Yearning for the welcome summer—
Longing for the bird’s fleet wing,
The midnight may be dreary,
And the heart be worn and weary,
But there’s no more shadow yonder,
In the presence of the King.Refrain

Have nothing to wish or to fear;
No mortal as happy as I,
My summer would last all the year.Content with beholding His face,
My all to His pleasure resigned,

All prisons would palaces prove,
If Jesus would dwell with me there.Dear Lord, if indeed I am Thine,
If Thou art my sun and my song,
