Petitions for Deliverance

ST. FLAVIAN

as - sur ance of Thy grace To Thee my prayers as

1 Though I am poor and sorrowful, Hear Thou, O 'God, my cry;

2 Then will I praise my God with song,
To Him my thanks shall rise,
And this shall please Jehovah more

Than offered sacrifice.

3 The meek shall see it and rejoice,
Ye saints, no more be sad;
For lo, Jehovah hears the poor
And makes His prisoners glad.

PSALM 69 IOS

4 Let heaven and earth and seas rejoice, Let all therein give praise,

For Zion God will surely save,

Her broken walls will raise.

5 In Zion they that love His Name
Shall dwell from age to age;
Yea, there shall be their lasting rest,
Their children's heritage.

Supplication and Testimony

2 Needy and sorrowful, to Thee I cry;
Let Thy salvation set my soul on high;
Then I will sing and praise Thy holy Name,
My thankful song Thy mercy shall proclaim.

3 With joy the meek shall see my soul restored,
Your heart shall live, ye saints that seek the Lord;
He helps the needy and regards their cries,
Those in distress the Lord will not despise.

4 Let heaven above His grace and glory tell,
Let earth and sea and all that in them dwell;
Salvation to His people God will give,

And they that love His Name with Him shall live.

2 Let them be turned back in confusion, O Lord,
Who in my destruction would joy;

Let shame and defeat be their only reward
Who sneers and derision employ.

3 May all those who seek Thee, and make Thee their choice,
Great gladness and blessedness see;

May all those who love Thy salvation rejoice
And constantly magnify Thee.

4 I cry in deep need and Thy help I implore;
Make haste to the rescue, I pray;

My Saviour Thou art, and my strength evermore,
No longer Thy coming delay.

2 Be Thou my rock, my dwelling-place,

Forever mine, as now;
Salvation Thou hast willed for me,
My rock and fortress, Thou.

3 Deliver me from wicked hands,
Save me from men unjust,
For Thou, Jehovah, art my hope,
From youth Thou art my trust.

4 Thou hast upheld me in Thy grace
From childhood's early days;
To Thee from Whom I life received
Will I give constant praise.
