The Lord Has Heard and Answered Prayer

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Lord has heard and answered prayer And saved His people in distress; This to the coming age declare, That they His holy Name may bless. 2 The Lord, exalted on His throne, Looked down from heaven with pitying eye To still the lowly captive’s moan And save His people doomed to die. 3 All men in Zion shall declare His gracious Name with one accord, When kings and nations gather there To serve and worship God the Lord. 4 Before my journey is complete My vigor fails, my years decline; My God, O spare me, I entreat; The days of life are wholly Thine. 5 Attend, O Lord, to my desire, O haste to answer when I pray, For grief consumes my strength like fire, My days as smoke pass swift away. 6 O cut not short my life's brief day, O Thou whose years eternal run, Thou who didst earth's foundations lay, Creator of the stars and sun. 7 The earth and heavens shall pass away, Like vesture worn and laid aside, But changeless Thou shalt live for aye, Thy years forever shall abide. 8 Thou, O Jehovah, shalt endure, Thy throne forever is the same; And to all generations sure Shall be Thy great memorial Name. 9 Thy servants’ children shall remain Forevermore before Thy face; Enduring honor they shall gain, Established ever in Thy grace.

Should Hostile Powers Against Me Join

Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Should hostile powers against me join, I have a helper all divine; To Him my soul shall quickly fly, On Him my steadfast faith rely. 2 Torn from th’embraces of my friends, Exiled to earth’s remotest ends; Yet would I live devoid of fear, Knowing that God is present there. 3 Weighed down with guilt, o’erwhelmed with grief, From Him I seek and find relief; When dread alarms spread all around, In Him alone is succor found. 4 When outward comforts are withdrawn, I am content with Him alone; No real loss can me befall, For He is mine, and He is all. He’s ever good, and ever nigh, He lives when worlds of creatures die; This glorious God will ever be, Sufficient for Himself and me.

Lord, When Thine Israel We Survey

Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Lord, when Thine Israel we survey, We in their crimes discern our own; And if Thou turn our prayer away, Our misery must, like theirs, be known. 2 To us Thy prophets have been sent With words of terror and of love; But not the vengeance, nor the grace, Ten thousand stubborn hearts will move. 3 Our eyes are blind, and deaf our ears; Our hearts are hardened into stone; As we would bar Thy mercy out, And leave a way for wrath alone. 4 Justly our God might give us up To plague and famine and the sword; Till towns and cities, rich and fair, Lay desolate without a Lord. 5 O’er bleeding wounds of slaughtered friends Rivers of helpless grief might flow, Till the fierce conqueror’s haughty rage Dragged us to chains and slaughter, too. 6 But spare a nation long Thine own, And show new miracles of grace, ’Tis Thine to heal the deaf and blind, And wake the dead to life and praise.

How Do Thy Mercies Close Me Round

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 112 hymnals First Line: How do Thy mercies close me round! Lyrics: 1 How do Thy mercies close me round! For ever be Thy name adored! I blush in all things to abound; The servant is above his Lord. 2 Inured to poverty and pain, A suffering life my master led, The Son of God, the Son of man, He had not where to lay His head. 3 But lo! A place He hath prepared For me, whom watchful angels keep; Nay, He Himself becomes my guard, He smoothes my bed, and gives me sleep. 4 Jesus protects; my fears be gone! What can the Rock of Ages move? Safe in Thy arms I lay me down, Thy everlasting arms of love! 5 While Thou art intimately nigh, Who, who shall violate my rest? Sin, earth, and hell I now defy, I lean upon my Savior’s breast. 6 I rest beneath th’Almighty’s shade; My griefs expire, my troubles cease; Thou, Lord, on whom my soul is stayed, Wilt keep me still in perfect peace. 7 Me for Thine own Thou lov’st to take, In time, and in eternity; Thou never, never wilt forsake A helpless worm that trusts in Thee. 8 Wherefore in confidence I close My eyes, for Thine are open still; My spirit lulled in calm repose, Waits for the counsels of Thy will. 9 After Thy likeness let me rise, If here Thou will’st my longer stay, Or close in mortal sleep my eyes, To open them in endless day. 10 Still let me run, or end my race; I cannot choose, I all resign; Contract or lengthen out my days; Come life, come death; for Christ is mine.
