Psalms 102:13-28

• [Psa 102:13] Let Sion And Her Sons Rejoice

  Let Sion and her sons rejoice, Behold the promised hour; Her God hath heard her mourning voice, And comes t’exalt His power. Her dust and ruins that remain Are precious in our eyes; Those ruins shall be built again, And all that dust shall rise. The Lord will raise Jerusalem And stand in glory there; Nations shall bow before His Name, And kings attend with fear. He sits a sovereign on His throne, With pity in His eyes; He hears the dying prisoners groan, And sees their sighs arise. He frees the souls condemned to death, And when His saints complain, It sha’n’t be said, “That praying breath Was ever spent in vain.” This shall be known when we are dead, And left on long record; That ages yet unborn may read, And trust, and praise the Lord.

• [Psa 102:17] The Lord Has Heard And Answered Prayer

  The Lord has heard and answered prayer And saved His people in distress; This to the coming age declare, That they His holy Name may bless. The Lord, exalted on His throne, Looked down from Heav’n with pitying eye To still the lowly captive’s moan And save His people doomed to die. All men in Zion shall declare His gracious Name with one accord, When kings and nations gather there To serve and worship God the Lord. Before my journey is complete My vigor fails, my years decline; My God, O spare me, I entreat; The days of life are wholly Thine. The earth and heav’ns shall pass away, Like vesture worn and laid aside, But changeless Thou shalt live for aye, Thy years forever shall abide. Thou, O Jehovah, shalt endure; Thy throne forever is the same; And to all generations sure Shall be Thy great memorial Name. Thy servants’ children shall remain Forevermore before Thy face; Enduring honor they shall gain, Established ever in Thy grace.

Lord, from Thine inmost glory send, Within these courts to bide, The peace that dwelleth without end Serenely by Thy side! And let the Comforter and Friend, Thy Holy Spirit, meet, With those who here in worship bend Before Thy mercy seat. May they who err be guided here To find the better way; And they who mourn, and they who fear, Be strengthened as they pray. May faith grow firm, and love grow warm, And pure devotion rise, While round these hallowed walls the storm Of earth born passion dies.

The Song of Songs 2:11-13

• [Sos 2:12] When Spring Unlocks The Flowers

  When spring unlocks the flowers to paint the laughing soil; When summer’s balmy showers refresh the mower’s toil; When winter binds in frosty chains the fallow and the flood; In God the earth rejoiceth still and owns his Maker good. The birds that wake the morning and those that love the shade; The winds that sweep the mountain or lull the drowsy glade; The sun that from his amber bower rejoiceth on his way, The moon and stars their Master’s Name in silent pomp display. Shall man, the lord of nature, expectant of the sky, Shall man alone, unthankful, his little praise deny? No; let the year forsake his course, the seasons cease to be, Thee, Master, must we always love, and Savior, honor Thee. The flowers of spring may wither, the hope of summer fade, The autumn droop in winter, the birds forsake the shade; The winds be lulled, the sun and moon forget their old decree; But we, in nature’s latest hour, O Lord, will cling to Thee!

  Lord, we know that Thou art near us, Though Thou seem’st to hide Thy face; And are sure that Thou dost hear us, Though no answer we embrace. Not one promise shall miscarry Not one blessing come too late Though the vision long may tarry Give us patience, Lord to wait. While withholding—Thou art giving In Thine own appointed way And while waiting we’re receiving Blessings suited to our day. O the wondrous loving-kindness Planning, working out of sight, Bearing with us in our blindness, Out of darkness bringing light. Weaving blessings out of trials, Out of grief evolving bliss; Answering prayer by wise denials When Thy children ask amiss. And when faith shall end in vision, And when prayer is lost in praise, Then shall love, in full fruition, Justify Thy secret ways.

  Creation’s Lord, we give Thee thanks That this Thy world is incomplete; That battle calls our marshaled ranks; That work awaits our hands and feet. That Thou hast not yet finished man; That we are in the making still, As friends who share the Maker’s plan As sons who know the Father’s will. Beyond the present sin and shame, Wrong’s bitter, cruel, scorching blight, We see the beckoning vision flame, The blessèd kingdom of the right. What though the kingdom long delay, And still with haughty foes must cope? It gives us that for which to pray, A field for toil and faith and hope. Since what we choose is what we are, And what we love we yet shall be, The goal may ever shine afar— The will to win it makes us free.
