Lyrics

Verse 1

I cried aloud to God for help;
I prayed that God would hear.
When I was plunged in deep distress,
I sought the Lord in prayer.

Verse 2         

At night I stretched untiring hands,
Relief my soul refused.
Rememb’ring you, O God, I groaned
With longing as I mused.

Verse 3         

In my distress I could not speak;
From sleep you kept my eye.
I thought about the former days,
The years which have gone by.

Verse 4         

Throughout the watches of the night
My songs I called to mind.
I pondered deeply, while my heart
An answer tried to find:

Verse 5         

“For ever will the Lord reject
And never show his grace?
Has he withdrawn his steadfast love
And turned from me His face?

Verse 6         

“For all time has his promise failed?
Is God no longer kind?
Has he in his great wrath dismissed
Compassion from his mind?”

Verse 7         

Then to my heart there came this thought:
“On this I will rely—
The years of the right hand of power
Of him who is Most High.”

Verse 8         

I will recall the LORD’s great deeds—
your works of long ago.
I’ll meditate on all your acts;
your mighty deeds I’ll show.

Verse 9         

O God, most holy are your ways.
What god compares with you?
You are the God of miracles,
whose power the nations view.
