Psalms of Grace ‎#83c

83c. O God No Longer Hold Your Peace

1 O God, no longer hold Your peace,
No longer silent be;
Your enemies lift up their head;
To fight Your saints and Thee.
Against Your own, whom You do love,
Their craft Your foes employ;
They think to cut Your people off,
Your church they would destroy.

2 Your ancient foes, conspiring still,
With one consent agree,
And they who with Your people strive;
Make war, O God, with Thee.
O God, Who in our fathers' time
Did smite our foes and Thine,
So smite Your enemies today
Who in their pride combine.

3 Make them like dust and stubble blown
Before the whirlwind dire,
In terror driv'n before the storm;
Of Your consuming fire.
Confound them in their sin till they;
To Thee for pardon fly,
Till in dismay they trembling own
That You are God most High.
