77 (1) | Psalm 77 Version 1 | LM | |
TO God will I direct my prayer, And He will make my needs His care; I’ll trust Him still through times of grief, Though troubles seem without relief. |
|||
2 | At times when trials and sorrows fall, When faithless fears and doubts appal, I ask in fear and bitterness: Will God forsake me in distress? |
||
3 | Has God forgotten to be kind? Shall I His promise faithless find? Will He cast off, and nevermore His favour to my soul restore? |
||
4 | Recalling times when faith was bright, And songs of gladness cheered each night, Those blessèd joys of long ago Make deeper still my present woe. |
||
5 | These doubts and fears which trouble me Are born of my infirmity; Though I am weak, God is most high, And on His goodness I’ll rely. |
||
6 | I’ll fix my gaze on things above And meditate upon Thy love; Recounting all Thy works and ways Until my heart responds in praise. |
