O God, no longer hold thy peace

Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: God Wrath of Lyrics: 1 O God, no longer hold thy peace, No longer silent be; Thine enemies lift up their head To fight thy saints and thee. Against thine own, whom thou dost love, Their craft thy foes employ; They think to cut thy people off, Thy church they would destroy. 2 Thine ancient foes, conspiring still, With one consent agree, And they who with thy people strive Make war, O God, with thee. O God, who in our fathers' time Didst smite our foes and thine, So smite thine 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 thy consuming fire. Confound them in their sin till they To thee for pardon fly, Till in dismay they, trembling, own That thou art God Most High. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 83 Used With Tune: ST. MATTHEW Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912

God the Lord is King; before Him

Author: George Rawson, 1807-1889 Appears in 13 hymnals Topics: Wrath Of God Lyrics: 1. God the Lord is King; before Him, Earth, with all thy nations, wait: Where the cherubim adore Him, Sitteth He in royal state; He is holy, Blessed, only Potentate! 2. God the Lord is King of glory, Zion, tell the world His fame; Ancient Israel, the story Of His faithfulness proclaim; He is holy, Holy is His awful name. 3. In old times when dangers darkened, When, invoked by priest and seer, To His people's cry He hearkened, Answered them in all their fear; He is holy, As they called, they found Him near. 4. Laws divine to them were spoken From the pillar of the cloud; Sacred precepts, quickly broken: Fiercely then His vengeance flowed. He is holy, To the dust their hearts were bowed. 5. But their Father God forgave them, When they sought His face once more, Ever ready was to save them, Tenderly did He restore; He is holy, We, too, will His grace implore. 6. God in Christ is all-forgiving, Waits His promise to fulfil, Come, exalt Him, all the living. Come, ascend His holy hill; He is holy, Worship at His holy hill Used With Tune: ST. THOMAS

Their God and Savior They Forgot

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Wrath Of God Lyrics: 1 Their God and Savior they forgot, Their Helper and their Stay, But Moses plead the promised grace And turned God's wrath away. 2 Yea, they despised the pleasant land, The promised land of God, And tempted Him to make them fall And scatter them abroad. 3 They sacrificed to heathen gods, And God their sin repaid; Then holy wrath avenged the wrong, And so the plague was stayed. 4 The Lord approved the righteous act Of him who sin abhorred, And honored him for evermore With just and great reward. 5 By wicked strife they angered God, His wrath they did provoke; And, stirred by their rebellious cries, Their leader rashly spoke. 6 Ensnared, they served the heathen gods, And by them were beguiled; The blood of children sacrificed The very land defiled. 7 Against His own inheritance Jehovah's wrath arose, His chosen people He condemned To serve their heathen foes. 8 Though from their harsh oppressors' hand Ofttimes He set them free, Rebellious still, they were brought low In their iniquity. 9 When unto God they cried, He heard And turned again His face, In boundless love remembering The covenant of His grace. 10 He even touched their captors' hearts, And made their very foes Compassionate and pitiful To feel His people's woes. 11 Save us, O Lord, our gracious God, From alien lands reclaim, That we may triumph in Thy praise And bless Thy holy Name. 12 Blessed be the Lord our covenant God, All praise to Him accord; Let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye, praise ye the Lord. Used With Tune: ST. FLAVIAN
