Sample verse, Psalm Hymn 5 with tune: I Know Who Holds Tomorrow, by Ira F. Stanphill 1950

Lord, consider my expression,
and the pathos of my cry;
Pay attention to the passion,
Hear the noise of life awry.
I will bring my tears to You, Lord;
You’re my King and You’re my God.
In the dawn, You’ll hear my pleading;
Hear my case composed in sighs.
I will watch with expectation,
You are not a god who lies.
Putting all distortion from You,
Leaves no cruelty in Your eyes.

Nations understand His fairness.
Standards of His eloquence.

For the pressed and heavy soul,
Those who know Your name and trust You,
Find You in their troubled world.
You do not desert the faithful,
Those who seek You, Ever-God.
Sing! This Lord, who dwells in Zion;
Shout the feats that He has wrought! Selection sung to What a Friend We Have in Jesus, Psalm 9
