Psalm 42

Sunday, April 19th, 2020

Here’s another original hymn which is based on Psalm 42. May the tune and lyrics of this hymn be of great comfort to you.

Lyrics and Music: N. H.

My tears have been my meat day and night;
Troubles come like waves of the sea,
But Thy lovingkindness doth not cease;
And Thy song is ever with me.

I pour my prayers unto Thee, Lord –
Thou art my Rock, the God of my life,
I hope in Thee and in Thy Word;
My lips shall praise Thee for Thy help.

Thou givest and Thou takest away,
I will bless Thy name, come what may;
I’ll gladly yield my all to Thee –
Thy grace alone is sufficient for me.

To live is Christ, to die is gain;
Only let Thy will be done;
If I should live another day;
Or see Thy face in heav’n for aye.

For All The Saints

Sunday, April 19th, 2020

Lyrics: William W. How
Music: SINE NOMINE

For all the saints who from their labors rest,
Who thee by faith before the world confessed,
Thy name, O Jesus, be forever blest.
Alleluia! Alleluia!

Thou wast their rock, their fortress, and their might;
Thou, Lord, their captain in the well-fought fight;
Thou, in the darkness drear, their one true light.
Alleluia! Alleluia!

O blest communion, fellowship divine,
We feebly struggle, they in glory shine;
Yet all are one in thee, for all are thine.
Alleluia! Alleluia!

O may thy soldiers, faithful, true, and bold,
Fight as the saints who nobly fought of old,
And win with them the victor’s crown of gold.
Alleluia! Alleluia!

And when the strife is fierce, the warfare long,
Steals on the ear the distant triumph song,
And hearts are brave again, and arms are strong.
Alleluia! Alleluia!

From earth’s wide bounds, from ocean’s farthest coast,
Thru gates of pearl streams in the countless host,
Singing to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost:
Alleluia! Alleluia!

Be Merciful Unto Me, O God

Friday, April 17th, 2020

This is an original hymn which is based on Psalm 57:1-2. May God be merciful unto us and help us through this terrible Covid-19 crisis. Amen.

Lyrics: Psalm 57:1-2 (Versified by J. Chng)
Music: J. Chng

Be merciful unto me, O God, Be merciful unto me;
For my soul trusteth in Thee, O God, My soul trusteth in Thee.

I will make the shadow of Thy wings, My refuge safe and sure;
Till these calamities pass, Until these calamities pass.

Be merciful unto me, O God, Be merciful unto me;
For my soul trusteth in Thee, O God, My soul trusteth in Thee.

I will cry unto the God most high, My great, Almighty God;
Who performeth all things for me, God performeth all things for me.

Be merciful unto me, O God, Be merciful unto me;
For my soul trusteth in Thee, O God, My soul trusteth in Thee.
