TITLE: Psalm 22: Forsaken to Dust METER: Veni Immanuel LM with refrain 8.8.8.8 SCRIPTURAL SETTING: Psalm 22
1. My God, my God, why dost thou forsake me?
Why art thou far from helping me?
I cry by day but hear no reply–
by night and still I find no respite.
Yet, thou, O Lord, art holy on the throne
of Israel’s praise. We trust in thee alone.
2. My God, my God, I’m scorned by all around,
as lowly as the worms beneath the ground.
My heart is melted in my breast.
I lie within the dust of death.
Yet, thou, O Lord, art holy on the throne
of Israel’s praise. We trust in thee alone.
3. My God, my God, thou brought me from the womb.
Be thou not far; deliver from the tomb.
The poor shall eat and be satisfied.
Seek ye the Lord and praise God’s name on high.
For, thou, O Lord, art holy on the throne
of Israel’s praise. We trust in thee alone.
