7 & 6s. M. 545. MONTGOMERY. In Time of Tribulation. Psalm 77. 1 IN time of tribulation, Hear, Lord, our earnest cries; With humble supplication To thee the spirit flies. 2 Remembered songs of gladness, 3 Hath God cast off for ever? 4 Shall we presume to share? Hath he his loving-kindness 5 We'll call to recollection The years of thy right hand, And, strong in thy protection, Again through faith we stand. 6 Thy way is in great waters, Thy footsteps are not known; 7 Through the wild sea thou leddest 1 WAIT, O my soul, thy Maker's will! 2 He in the thickest darkness dwells, 3 In heaven, and earth, and air, and seas And by his saints it stands confessed 4 Wait, then, my soul, submissive wait, Prayer for Prudence and Wisdom. 1 FATHER of light! conduct my feet 2 Let heaven-eyed prudence be my guide; And, when I go astray, Recall my feet from folly's path, 3 Teach me in every various scene And while I tread life's mazy track, 4 That heavenly wisdom from above And let it guard, and guide, and warm, 5 Till it shall lead me to thyself, S.
