Divine Retribution for Evil

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Orphans First Line: O God, Whom I delight to praise Lyrics: 1 O God, Whom I delight to praise, To Thee my cry for help I raise; Be Thou my friend and advocate When foes assail with bitter hate. 2 Against me sland'rous words are flung From many a false and lying tongue; Without a cause men hurl at me The shafts of deadly enmity. 3 My good with evil they repay, My love turns not their hate away; The part of vengeance, Lord, is Thine, To pray, and only pray, is mine. 4 Since love appeals to him in vain, The slave of sin let him remain; Against him let his foe be turned, His sin be judge, his prayer be spurned. 5 Let sudden death upon him break, His office let another take, His children and his widowed wife Pursue the homeless beggar's life. 6 Let creditors consume his toil And strangers make his wealth their spoil; Let none in pity heed his claim, Cut off his race, blot out his name. 7 His parents' sins be not forgot Till Thou from earth his memory blot, Since he remembered not to show Compassion to the sons of woe. 8 He cursing loved and blessing loathed; Unblest, with cursing he is clothed; For thus the justice of the Lord My adversaries will reward. 9 O God, the Lord, for Thy Name's sake Let me of Thy good grace partake; My need is great, and great Thou art To heal my wounded, stricken heart. 10 With failing strength I fast and pine, Like shadows swift my days decline, And when my foes my weakness see They shake the head in scorn at me. 11 O Lord my God, Thy help I crave, In Thy great loving-kindness save; Before my foes Thy mercy show; That Thou dost help me make them know. 12 What though they curse, if Thou wilt bless? Then joy shall banish my distress, And shame shall overwhelm the foes Who would Thy servant's way oppose. 13 Thanksgiving to the Lord I raise, The multitude shall hear my praise, For by the needy God will stand To save them from oppression's hand. Scripture: Psalm 109 Used With Tune: MEROE

Responsibility of Civil Officers

Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Orphans First Line: Where'er His creatures gather Lyrics: 1 Where'er His creatures gather The unseen God is near; Let rulers fear their Ruler, Their Judge let judges fear. How long, ye earthly judges, Will ye pervert the right? How long shall wicked persons Have favor in your sight? 2 Do justice for the helpless, The orphan's cause maintain; Defend the poor and needy, Oppressed and wronged for gain. When rulers walk in darkness, When judges truth forsake, The cornerstones are crumbled, The firm foundations shake. 3 The Most High God has called you And set you up on high, But ye to Him must answer, For ye like men must die. Arise, O God Eternal, Thou Judge of all the earth, Thro' all Thy ransomed nations Send now Thy justice forth. Scripture: Psalm 82 Used With Tune: ALGIERS

Author: G. Thring Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Orphans; Orphans Lyrics: 1 O Thou Who madest land and sea, And guidest all, in all their ways, Who hearest those who bring to Thee Their sacrifice of prayer and praise; Oh, hear Thy children as they bring Themselves a lowly offering! 2 Great God, Who with a Father's love Dost watch o'er all created things, And gatherest all, below, above, Beneath the shadow of Thy wings; Protect, we pray Thee, now, and bless Thy children who are fatherless. 3 Thou hearest still the eagle's cry, And notest e'en a sparrow's fall, Thy listening ear doth heed on high, And hearken to the raven's call; Then, heavenly Father, hear and bless Thy children who are fatherless. 4 Come, heavenly Father, come to-day, For we Thy children come to Thee, And Thou wilt never say us, nay, If come we in humility; New-born in Thee, O Father, bless Thy children who are fatherless. 5 Cast forth upon the barren strand Of this lone world, to Thee we fly; In faith and hope, we fain would stand Beneath Thy sheltering arm for aye; Stretch forth Thy hand ad pitying bless Thy children who are fatherless. 6 And may we all with joyful mind Our hearts as living offerings bring, The first-fruits of our life, to find A Father in our heavenly King; And learn in life and death to bless Thee, "Father of the fatherless."
