Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 26 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O Lord, by Thee delivered,
I Thee with songs extol;
My foes Thou hast not suffered
to glory o’er my fall.
O Lord, my God, I sought Thee,
and Thou didst heal and save;
Thou, Lord, from death didst
ransom and keep me from the grave.
2. His holy name remember,
ye saints, Jehovah praise;
His anger lasts a moment,
His favor all our days;
For sorrow, like a pilgrim,
may tarry for a night,
But joy the heart will gladden
when dawns the morning light.
3. In prosperous days I boasted,
Unmoved I shall remain;
For Lord, by Thy good favor,
my cause Thou didst maintain;
I soon was sorely troubled,
for Thou didst hide Thy face;
I cried to Thee, Jehovah,
I sought Jehovah’s grace.
4. What profit if I perish,
if life Thou dost not spare?
Shall dust repeat Thy praises,
shall it Thy truth declare?
O Lord, on me have mercy,
and my petition hear;
That Thou mayst be my helper,
in mercy, Lord, appear.
5. My grief is turned to gladness,
to Thee my thanks I raise;
Who hast removed my sorrow
and girded me with praise;
And now, no longer silent,
my heart Thy praise will sing;
O Lord, my God, forever
my thanks to Thee I bring. Used With Tune: ELLACOMBE Text Sources: The Psalter (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: The United Presbyterian Board of Publication, 1912), number 77
