Psalms of Grace ‎#60c

60c. O God, You Have Cast off Your Saints

1 O God, You have cast off Your saints;
Thy face You do in anger hide;
And lo, the church for terror faints,
While breaches all her walls divide!

2 Hard things You have upon us laid,
And made us drink most bitter wine,
But still Thy banner we’ve display'd,
And borne aloft the truth divine.

3 Our courage fails not, though the night
No earthly lamp avails to break,
For You wilt soon arise in might,
And of our captors captives make.

4 Through Thee we shall most valiant prove,
And tread the foe beneath our feet;
Through Thee our faith shall hills remove,
And small as chaff the mountains beat.
