O LORD, Why Hide Thou Thy Face

Henry Francis Lyte (alt.) • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 10

Verse 1

O LORD, why hide Thou Thy face, While dangers round me close? Return in all Thy power and grace, And save me from my foes.

Verse 2

The haters of Thy Word and Name, My firmness fiercely prove; And through Thy servant's fall would aim, A wound at Him I love.

Verse 3

Arise, O LORD, their rage control, Blow down the swelling wave; Arise to help the poor in soul, And snatch him from the grave.

Verse 4

Thy grace prepares the heart to pray, Ad hears its humble plea: Arise to be the trembler's stay, Arise to rescue me!
