Prophetic Prayer Of Hannah

Tune: Ye Banks and Braes

('We cannot measure how you heal')

1 Samuel 2 v.1-10

*********

Hannah did pray, and she did say

My heart it does rejoice always

In the Lord, my strength exalted

In the Lord is, He has me led

I smile now at my enemies

Before the Lord now each one flees

Because I rejoice, Lord, in your

Salvation now and evermore

 

There is none holy as the Lord

None beside Him, true is His word

Nor any rock like our God be

Talk no more now very proudly

Speak not arrogantly, for He

The Lord a God of knowledge be

And by Him our actions are weighed

None hidden, before Him outlaid

 

Bows of mighty, they are broken

God shows Himself stronger than men

And they that stumbled are girded

With strength, and by the Lord are fed

They that were full have hired selves out

For food, they were hungry, no doubt

They that were hungry were then filled

Barren women children did yield

 

The Lord kills, and does make alive

Brings down to grave, and does raise, save

He makes poor and too He makes rich

Brings low, lifts up, knows each one's pitch

He raises up poor from the dust

Lifts beggar from dung-hill and rust

Set them midst princes, that they may

Glory inherit in their days

 

The pillars of the earth belong

To the Lord, to Him be our song

He has set upon them the world

And Hs creation has unfurled

The feet of His saints He will keep

They ever in His fold His sheep

For by strength shall no man prevail

His efforts vain, to no avail

 

The Lord's adversaries, they sahall

Be broken to pieces, we tell

Out of heaven He shall thunder

Upon them, justice does render

He shall judge the ends of the earth

Shal give strength to His king, no dearth

Shall exalt the strength of the one

His anointed, His only Son
