Author: Anonymous Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1. My soul for Thy salvation faints,
But still I hope in Thee;
I long to see Thy promised help,
When Thou shalt comfort me.
2. Thy statutes I do not forget,
Though wasting grief I know;
Thy servant’s days are few, O Lord:
When wilt Thou judge my foe?
3. The proud, disdainful of Thy law,
Entrap me wrongfully;
O Thou, whose law is just and true,
Help and deliver me.
4. Almost consumed, yet from Thy law
I have not turned away;
In lovingkindness give me strength,
That I may still obey. Used With Tune: MORRISON Text Sources: From The Psalter (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: The United Presbyterian Board of Publication, 1912), number 331
