GOD is the Hope of the Helpless

Hymnal: PDIL1740 #262a (1740) First Line: To GOD I made my Sorrows known Lyrics: 1 To GOD I made my Sorrows known, From GOD I sought Relief; In long Complaints before his Throne I pour'd out all my Grief. 2 My Soul was overwhelm'd with Woes, My Heart began to break; My GOD, who all my Burdens knows, He knows the Way I take. 3 On ev'ry Side I cast mine Eye, And found my Helpers gone, While Friends and Strangers past me by Neglected or unknown. 4 Then did I raise a louder Cry, And call'd thy Mercy near, "Thou art my Portion when I die; "Be thou my Refuge here." 5 Lord, I am brought exceeding low, Now let thine Ear attend, And make my Foes who vex me know I've an Almighty Friend. 6 From my sad Prison set me free, Then shall I praise thy Name, And holy Men shall join with me Thy Kindness to proclaim.

Shall all my Joys on Earth remove? And GOD, for ever hide his Love? 7 My GOD, thy long Delay to save Will sink thy Pris'ner to the Grave; My Heart grows faint, and dim mine Eye; Make haste to help before I die. 8 The Night is Witness to my Tears, Distressing Pains, distressing Fears; O might I hear thy Morning Voice, How would my weary'd Pow'rs rejoice! 9 In Thee I trust, to Thee I sigh, And lift my heavy Soul on high; For Thee sit waiting all the Day, And wear the tiresome Hours away. 10 Break off my Fetters, Lord, and show Which is the Path my Feet should go; If Snares and Foes beset the Road, I flee to hide me near my GOD. 11 Teach me to do thy holy Will, And lead me to thy heav'nly Hill; Let the good Spirit of thy Love Conduct me to thy Courts above. 12 Then shall my Soul no more complain, The Tempter then shall rage in vain; And Flesh, that was my Foe before, Shall never vex my Spirit more.
