Through Troubled Times

Tune: Langran

(\'Here now, O Lord, I see thee face to face\')

Psalm 42 v.6-11

*********

O my God, my soul is cast down in me

Therefore I will remember you simply

From my depths I do unto your depths call

When troubles as o\'erwhelming waterfall

 

Yet the Lord will command loving kindness

In the daytime, and too at night will bless

His song shall be with me, and my prayer to

The God of my life, He will hear, renew

 

I will say to God my rock, Why have you

Forgotten me? Not shown me mercies true

Why go I mourning due to oppression

Of the enemy, save me from each one

 

For they do taunt and reproach me daily

Saying, Where is your God, where can He be?

Why cast down my soul, why disquieted?

I shall yet praise Him, He me thus far led
