My Soul in Silence Waits for God

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #117 (1934) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Covetousness Lyrics: 1 My soul in silence waits for God, My Savior He has proved; He only is my rock and tower; I never shall be moved. My honor is secure with God, My Savior He has proved; My refuge and my rock of strength Are found in God alone. 2 My enemies my ruin seek, They plot with fraud and guile; Deceitful, they pretend to bless, But inwardly revile. My soul, in silence wait for God; He is my help approved, He only is my rock and tower, And I shall not be moved. 3 My honor is secure with God, My Savior He is known; My refuge and my rock of strength Are found in God alone. On Him, ye people, evermore Rely with confidence; Before Him pour ye out your heart, For God is our defense. 4 For surely men are helpers vain, The high and the abased; Yea, lighter than a breath are thy When in the balance placed. Trust not in harsh oppression's power Nor in unrighteous gain; If wealth increase, yet on your gold Ye set your hearts in vain. 5 For God has spoken o'er and o'er, And unto me has shown, That saving power and lasting strength Belong to Him alone. Yea, lovingkindness evermore Belongs to Thee, O Lord; And Thou according to his work Dost every man reward. Scripture: Psalm 62 Languages: English Tune Title: SERAPH

A Vindication of God's Ways

Hymnal: The Psalter #201a (1912) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Topics: Covetousness First Line: God loveth the righteous, His goodness is sure Lyrics: 1 God loveth the righteous, His goodness is sure, He never forsaketh the good and the pure; Yet once my faith faltered, I envied the proud, In doubt and disquiet my spirit was bowed. 2 The wicked are prospered and firm is their strength, No pangs do they suffer, though death come at length; They are not in trouble as other men are, The plagues of their fellows they view from afar. 3 In garments of boasting and violence decked, With wealth more abundant than heart could expect, They scoff, and the helpless they proudly oppress, The heav'ns and the earth they assume to possess. 4 Despising God's people, they cause them to drain The cup of oppression, injustice, and pain; They question God's knowledge and boldly defy The might and the justice of God the Most High. 5 The wicked, grown wealthy, have comfort and peace, While I, daily chastened, see troubles increase, And, wronging God's children, I cried in my pain, That clean hands are worthless and pure hearts are vain. 6 I went to God's temple: my doubts were dispelled, The end of life's journey I clearly beheld; I saw in what peril ungodly men stand With sudden destruction and ruin at hand. 7 As when one awaking forgetteth his dream, So God will despise them, though great they may seem; My envy was senseless, my grief was for nought, Because i was faithless, and foolish my thought.
