EN 1278 To God Will I Direct My Prayer

Ps.77.3

Versi Version 1

1

To God will I direct my prayer,

And He will make my needs His care;

I trust Him still, though in my grief

No answer yet has brought relief;

With hands outstretched through all the night,

Uncomforted I sought for light.

2

The thought of God brought me no peace,

But rather made my fears increase;

With sleepless eyes and speechless pain

My fainting spirit grieved in vain;

The blessedness of long ago

Made deeper still my present woe.

3

Recalling days when faith was bright,

When songs of gladness filled my night,

I pondered o’er my grievous woes

And searching questioning arose;

Will God cast off, and nevermore

His favor to my soul restore?

4

I asked in fear and bitterness:

Will God forsake me in distress?

Shall I His promise faithless find?

Has God forgotten to be kind?

Has He in anger hopelessly

Removed His love and grace from me?

5

These doubts and fears that troubled me

Were born of my infirmity;

Though I am weak, God is most high,

And on His goodness I rely;

Of all His wonders, I will tell,

And on His deeds my thoughts shall dwell.
