EN 1276 To God I Cried with Mournful Voice

Ps.77.1

Versi Version 1

1

To God I cried with mournful voice,

I sought His gracious ear,

In the sad day when troubles rose,

And filled the night with fear.

2

Sad were my days, and dark my nights,

My soul refused relief;

I thought on God the just and wise,

But thoughts increased my grief.

3

Still I complained, and still oppressed,

My heart began to break;

My God, Thy wrath forbade my rest,

And kept my eyes awake.

4

My overwhelming sorrows grew,

Till I could speak no more;

Then I within myself withdrew,

And called Thy judgments o’er.

5

I called back years and ancient times

When I beheld Thy face;

My spirit searched for secret crimes

That might withhold Thy grace.

6

I called Thy mercies to my mind

Which I enjoyed before;

And will the Lord no more be kind?

His face appear no more?

7

Will He for ever cast me off?

His promise ever fail?

Has He forgot His tender love?

Shall anger still prevail?

8

But I forbid this hopeless thought;

This dark, despairing frame,

Rememb’ring what Thy hand hath wrought;

Thy hand is still the same.

9

I’ll think again of all Thy ways,

And talk Thy wonders o’er;

Thy wonders of recovering grace,

When flesh could hope no more.

10

Grace dwells with justice on the throne;

And men that love Thy Word

Have in Thy sanctuary known

The counsels of the Lord.
