To God Will I Direct My Prayer

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #153 (1934) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Scripture: Psalm 77 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.

None understood but God alone, To man Thy footsteps were unknown; But safe Thy people Thou didst keep, Almighty Shepherd of Thy sheep.

To God I cry'd who to my Help

Hymnal: A New Version of the Psalms of David #LXXVII (1760) Scripture: Psalm 77 Lyrics: 1 To God I cry'd who to my Help did graciously repair; 2 In Trouble's dismal Day I sought my God with humble Pray'r. All Night my fest'ring Wound did run; no Med'cine gave Relief; My soul no Comfort would admit, my Soul indulg'd her Grief. 3 I thought on God, and Favours pass'd; but that increas'd my Pain: I found my Spirit more oppress'd, the more i did complain. 4 Thro' ev'ry Watch of tedious Night Thou keep'st my Eyes awake; My Grief is swell'd to that Excess, I sigh, but cannot speak. 5 I call'd to mind the Days of old, with signal Mercy crown'd; Those famous Years of antient Times. for Miracles renoewn'd. 6 By Night I recollect my Songs, on former Triumphs made; Then search, consult, and ask my Heart, Where's now that wond'rous Aid? 7 Has God for ever cast us off? withdrawn His Favour quite? 8 Are both His Mercy and his Truth retir'd to endless Night? 9 Can his long-practis'd Love forget its wonted Aids to bring? Has He in Wrath shut up and seal'd His Mercy's healing Spring? 10 I said, My Weakness hints these Fears; but I'll my Fears disband; I'll yet remember the most High, and Years of His Right-hand. 11 I'll call to mind his Works of old the Wonders of His Might; 12 On them my Heart shall meditate, my Tongue shall them recite. 13 Safe lodg'd from human Search on high, O God, thy Councils are! Who is so great a God as ours? who can with Him compare? 14 Long since a God of Wonders Thee thy rescu'd People found; 15 Long since hast Thou thy chosen Seed with strong Deliv'rance crown'd. 16 When Thee, O God, the Waters saw, the righted Billows shrunk; The troubled Depths themselves for Fear beneath their Channels sunk. 17 The Clouds pour'd down, while rending Skies did with their Noise conspire; Thy Arrows all abroad were snet, wing'd with avenging Fire. 18 Heav'n with thy Thunder's Voice was torn, whilst all the lower World With Lightning blaz'd, Earth shook & seem'd from her Foundations hurl'd. 19 Thro' rolling Streams Thou find'st thy Way thy Paths in Waters lie; Thy wond'rous Passage, where no Sight thy Footsteps can descry. 20 Thou led'st thy People like a Flock safe through the desart Land, By Moses, their meek skilful Guide, and Aaron's sacred Hand.
