Hope in Darkness

Author: Watts Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #401 (1844) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: How long, O Lord, shall I complain Lyrics: 1 How long, O Lord, shall I complain Like one that seeks his God in vain? Canst thou thy face for ever hide, And I still pray and be denied? 2 Shall I for ever be forgot, As one whom thou regardest not? Still shall my soul thy absence mourn, And still despair of thy return? 3 How long shall my poor troubled breast Be with these anxious thoughts oppressed? And Satan, my malicious foe, Rejoice to see me sunk so low? 4 How would the powers of darkness boast Should but one praying soul be lost! But I have trusted in thy grace, And shall again behold thy face. 5 Whate’er my fears or foes suggest, Thou art my hope, my joy, my rest; My heart shall feel thy love, and raise My cheerful voice to songs of praise.
