Psalms & Hymns

LORD, I am vile, conceived in sin,

O THOU Who hears when sinners cry,

(from v 9)

IN vain the powers of darkness try

IS there glory found in cunning,

FOOLS in their hearts still say,

SAVE me by Thy glorious name,

O GOD, my refuge, hear my cries;

GOD counts the sorrows of His saints,

MY God, in Whom are all the springs

RULERS who make themselves as gods,

(David’s indictment of godless rulers constitutes a prayer for lands closed to the Gospel)

I AM hated, Lord, by those

IN times of weakness and of blight,

WHEN overwhelmed with grief,

WHEN dangers press and fears invade,

MY spirit looks to God alone;

EARLY, my God, without delay,

O GOD, Thou art my God alone,

HEAR, O Lord, our supplication;

PRAISE, Lord, for Thee, in Zion waits;

LET all the earth revere the Lord,

ALL thanks to the Lamb, Who calls us to meet!

(from v 8)

GOD of mercy, God of grace,

AS Thy chosen people, Lord,

LORD, I would stand with thoughtful eye
