My God, My God, I Cry to Thee (EN 656)

EN 656 My God, My God, I Cry to Thee

Ps.22.1

Versi Version 1

1

My God, my God, I cry to Thee;

O why hast Thou forsaken me?

Afar from me, Thou dost not heed,

Though day and night for help I plead.

2

But Thou art holy in Thy ways,

Enthroned upon Thy people’s praise;

Our fathers put their trust in Thee,

Believed, and Thou didst set them free.

3

They cried, and, trusting in Thy Name,

Were saved, and were not put to shame;

But in the dust mine honor lies,

While all reproach and all despise.

4

My words a cause for scorn they make,

The lip they curl, the head they shake,

And, mocking, bid me trust the Lord

Till He salvation shall afford.

5

My trust on Thee I learned to rest

When I was on my mother’s breast;

From birth Thou art my God alone,

Thy care my life has ever known.

6

O let Thy strength and presence cheer,

For trouble and distress are near;

Be Thou not far away from Me,

I have no source of help but Thee.

7

Unnumbered foes would do me wrong,

They press about me, fierce and strong,

Like beasts of prey, their rage they vent,

My courage fails, my strength is spent.

8

Down unto death Thou leadest me,

Consumed by thirst and agony;

With cruel hate and anger fierce

My helpless hands and feet they pierce.

9

While on my wasted form they stare,

The garments torn from me they share,

My shame and sorrow heeding not,

And for my robe they cast the lot.

10

O Lord, afar no longer stay;

O Thou my Helper, haste, I pray;

From death and evil set me free;

I live, for Thou didst answer me.

11

I live and will declare Thy fame

Where brethren gather in Thy Name;

Where all Thy faithful people meet,

I will Thy worthy praise repeat.
