Words: The Book of Psalms for Singing, 39B
Music: God of Our Fathers, George W. Warren
Arrangement: Chris Reeves

2. 1. And now O Lord, what wait I long-er for?
my ex - pec - ta tion ev - er is in Thee;

3. De - liv - er me from all my sin - ful - ness;
the scorn of fool ish men O make not me.

4. 2. Yes, I was dumb; I o-pened not my mouth,
Be cause this work was done at Thy com - mand.

5. But now re- move Thy stroke a - way from me;
I am con-sumed be-neath Thy smit-ing hand.

6. 3. Thou with re-bukes dost chas-ten man for sin;
His beau - ty fades be-neath the touch of death;

7. It is con-sumed as by the fret - ting moth.
Oh, sure - ly eve ry man is but a breath.

8. 4. Lord, hear my prayers; heed Thou my cry and tears;
A stran - ger here I pass as all be - fore.

9. O spare me that I may re - cov - er strength
Be - fore I go a - way and be no more.” A - men.
