I Want the Weeping Prophet's Heart

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.8.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I want the weeping prophet's heart: O might my Lord to me impart Thy bleeding sympathy! On me, Thou Man of griefs, bestow The spring of tears, the depth of woe, The love that was in Thee. 2 I would our desolate Sion mourn By vile intestine vipers torn, By endless tempests tost, A Babel of religious strife, Buried in forms, whose power and life Of godliness is lost. 3 Or if Thou hast a few restored, Yet stranger to their bleeding Lord The multitude remain, Dead to a God they never knew, People, and priests, and princes too Are numbered with the slain. 4 For these I would in secret grieve, Their burden all day long receive, For these incessant pray, And many a mournful vigil keep, Water my couch with tears, and weep My pensive life away. 5 Only regard my dying cries, And bid the ruin'd church arise Which more than life I love, Call all her sons out of their grave, And this whole house of Israel save To sing Thy praise above.

Lord, hear my voice, my prayer attend

Meter: 8.8.6 D Appears in 19 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, hear my voice, my prayer attend; from earth's remotest bound I send my supplicating cry. When troubles great o'erwhelm my breast, then lead me on the rock to rest that higher is than I. 2 In thee my soul has shelter found, and thou hast been from foes around the tower of my defence. My home shall thy pavilion be; to covert of thy wings I'll flee, and find deliverance. 3 For thou, O Lord, my vows hast heard; on me the heritage conferred of those that fear thy name. Long life thou to the king wilt give; through generations he shall live, from age to age the same. 4 Before the Lord shall he abide; O do thou truth and grace provide to guard him in the way. So I thy praises will make known, and humbly bending at thy throne, my vows will daily pay. Scripture: Psalm 61 Used With Tune: MANNA

Ye righteous, in the Lord rejoice

Meter: 8.8.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Ye righteous, in the Lord rejoice; It well becomes the good man's voice To sing Jehovah's praise. With harp and hymn of gladness sing, Your gift of sweetest music bring, To him a new song raise. 2 For upright is Jehovah's word; And all the doings of the Lord In faithfulness are wrought. In justice and in judgment right The Lord doth ever take delight; With goodness earth is fraught. 3 Jehovah's word the heav'ns hath made, And all the host of them arrayed His breath has caused to be. He rolls the waters heap on heap; He stores away the mighty deep In garners of the sea. 4 Let all the earth Jehovah fear, Let all that dwell both far and near In awe before him stand; For, lo, he spake and it was done, And all, his sovereign pow'r begun, Stood fast at his command. 5 He makes the nations' counsels vain, The plans the peoples would maintain Are thwarted by his hand. Jehovah's counsel stands secure, His purposes of heart endure, For evermore they stand. 6 O truly is the nation blessed Whose God, before the world confessed, Jehovah is alone; And blessed the people is whom he Has made his heritage to be, And chosen for his own. Amen.

They Come From Far A King To Seek

Author: Isabella J. Postgate Meter: 8.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 They come from far a king to seek, They find a babe and maiden meek, In low-roofed oxen stall: Yet rightly richest gifts they bring, For truly this Babe is King of all kings, The God and Lord of all. 2 Bright gold one offers now to Him, Whose glory makes the fine gold dim, His kingly state to show; And myrrh the bitter hour of strife, When He, who giveth all things life, In death’s dust lieth low. 3 One offers frankincense sweet and rare, The symbol meet of praise and prayer, Before the cradle-throne; For surely God is in this place, And in the blessèd Infant’s face The might of God is shown. 4 Lord, grant us, as the kings of old, By faith the glory to behold Which Thy poor form doth veil; Within the stable’s narrow bound To know a spot of holy ground And kneel our God to hail: 5 That, in dark shades of sinful night, Since Thou dost call us to Thy light, We may no longer roam; But, lifting heart and eyes to Heav’n, We follow the sign Thy love hath giv’n Until the star leads us home!

O Thou, The Helpless Orphan's Hope

Author: William B. Collyer, 1782-1854 Meter: 8.8.6 D Appears in 19 hymnals First Line: O Thou, the helpless orphan’s hope Lyrics: 1 O Thou, the helpless orphan’s hope To whom alone my eyes look up In each distressing day! Father (for that’s the sweetest name That e’er these lips were taught to frame), Instruct this heart to pray. 2 Low in the dust my parents lie, And no attentive ear is nigh But Thine, to mark my woe; No hand to wipe away my tears, No gentle voice to hush my fears, Remains to me below. 3 To Heav’n my earthly friends are gone, And thither are my comforts flown, But I continue here; Be Thou my pattern, Thou my guide; This friendless heart from sorrow hide, Reposing on Thy care.
