With stringed instruments and flutes and a Mennonite hymnbook

Readings for the day: Psalms 4 to 6. All three of these Psalms, prayers for help in trouble or illness, have notations about the accompanying instruments of strings or flutes. The former clarinetist in me thinks the Psalmist probably would have included clarinets too, if they'd been invented back then. So these are songs meant to be sung and played, not just read.
In that spirit, I'm calling on another resource: Hymnal: A Worship Book, Scottdale, PA: Mennonite Publishing House, 1992, to check out how we sing these hymns in the churches of today (or at least in my tradition: Mennonite Church Canada). I'm not surprised to see there are four hymns based on these Psalms.
Lead Me Lord (HWB: 538) is a short, one stanza anthem written by Samuel S. Wesley in 1861 combining 5:8 and 4:8 and citing them nearly verbatim, depending on the translation: "Lead me Lord, lead me in thy righteousness. Make thy way plain before my face (5:8) For it is thou, Lord, thou, Lord, only that makest me dwell in safety (4:8)." A nice bit of pulling two ideas together, and a very effective hymn conveying the essence of two Psalms in one go. Wesley must have been a journalist as well!
One more thing: Psalm 6 is a prayer for recovery from a grave illness. I'm not recovering from an illness, but a back injury suffered in a motor vehicle accident too many months ago. It's progressing as well as could be expected, but it hurts to sit for long periods, and today it was painful when I got up. So I'm resonating with the writer here in 6: 2-3: "O Lord, heal me, for my bones are shaking with terror....O Lord, how long?"
