15761. When Wicked Men With Envious Rage

1 When wicked men with envious rage,
Against Thy righteous cause arise,
Great God, do Thou their wrath assuage,
Avert the evils they devise.

2 If for some wise and gracious end,
Our foes are suffered to prevail;
Mercy, oh Lord, in judgment send,
Nor let our strength and courage fail.

3 Sustain us in the gloomy hour,
And guide us through the thorny road;
Exert for us Thy mighty power:
Be our protector and our God.
