Psalm 146: Happy the Poor in Spirit
O Wherefore Hast Thou Cast Us Off
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #150 (1934) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Israel in Captivity Lyrics: 1 O wherefore hast Thou cast us off,
O God, our God of old?
Why art Thou angry with Thy sheep,
The sheep of Thy own fold,
The sheep of Thy own fold?
2 Remember Thy inheritance,
Thy Church, redeemed by grace;
Remember Zion's mount profaned,
Thy ancient dwelling-place,
Thy ancient dwelling-place.
3 In ruin long Thy temple lies;
Arise, o God of grace,
And see the ruin foes have wrought
Within Thy holy place,
Within Thy holy place.
4 Amid Thy courts are lifted high
The standards of the foe,
And impious hands with axe and fire
Have laid Thy temple low,
Have laid Thy temple low.
5 They have profaned the holy place
Where Thou hast set Thy Name,
The sanctuaries of our God
Are given to the flame,
Are given to the flame.
6 We see no signs of power divine,
No prophet speaks for Thee,
And none can tell, and none can know,
How long these woes shall be,
How long these woes shall be.
7 How long, O God, shall blasphemy
And shame reproach our land?
Why dost Thou not destroy Thy foes
With Thy almighty hand,
With Thy almighty hand?
8 O God, Thou art our King of old;
Salvation Thou hast wrought;
In safety through the mighty sea
Our fathers Thou hast brought,
Our fathers Thou hast brought.
9 With mighty arm Thou didst destroy
The pride of boastful man,
And for Thy people made a path
Where mighty waters ran,
Where mighty waters ran.
10 The day is Thine, and Thine the night,
And Thine the shining sun;
At Thy command earth's bounds are set
And changing seasons run,
And changing seasons run.
11 Mark how Thy enemies, O Lord,
Against Thee proudly speak;
Preserve Thy saints from wicked men,
Be mindful of the meek,
Be mindful of the meek.
12 Fulfil, O Lord, Thy covenant,
Our strong Protector be,
For in the earth are dark abodes
Of crime and cruelty,
Of crime and cruelty.
13 Let not Thy saints be put to shame,
No longer in Thy sight
Permit Thy foes to vaunt themselves;
Lord, vindicate the right,
Lord, vindicate the right. Scripture: Psalm 74 Languages: English Tune Title: LEAF
O Wherefore Hast Thou Cast Us Off
In Thy Heritage the Heathen
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #160 (1934) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Israel in Captivity Lyrics: 1 In Thy heritage the heathen
Now, O God, triumphant stand;
They defile Thy holy temple,
They destroy Thy chosen land;
Ruthless, they have slain Thy servants,
They have caused Thy saints to mourn;
In the sight of all about us
We endure reproach and scorn.
2 O how long against Thy people
Shall Thy anger burn, O Lord?
On Thy enemies, the heathen,
Be Thy indignation poured;
Smite the kingdoms that defy Thee,
Calling not upon Thy Name;
They have long devoured Thy people
And have swept Thy land with flame.
3 O remember not against us
Evil by our fathers wrought;
Haste to help us in Thy mercy,
Near to ruin we are brought;
Help us, God of our salvation,
For the glory of Thy Name;
For Thy Name's sake come and save us,
Take away our sin and shame.
4 Let Thy foes no longer scorn Thee,
Now avenge Thy servants slain;
Loose the prisoner, save the dying,
All Thy enemies restrain;
Then Thy flock, Thy chosen people,
Unto Thee Thy thanks shall raise,
And to every generation
We will sing Thy glorious praise. Scripture: Psalm 79 Languages: English Tune Title: AMADEUS

Thou, O Lord, Art God Alone
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #208 (1934) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Topics: Israel in Captivity Lyrics: 1 Thou, O Lord, art God alone;
Everlasting is Thy throne;
Through the ages men shall sing
Praise to heaven's eternal King.
Thou, enthroned above the skies,
Wilt for Zion's help arise;
Let Thy grace to her appear,
For the promised time is near.
2 If with love compassionate
We, Thy servants, mourn her state,
Wilt not Thou, O gracious Lord,
Help in Zion's need afford?
Lord, Thy glory shall appear,
Kings and nations then shall fear;
And Thy Name shall be adored
When Thy Zion is restored.
3 This all ages shall record
For the glory of the Lord;
Thou dost hear the humble prayer,
For the helpless Thou dost care.
Thou eternal art, and great,
Heaven and earth Thou didst create,
Heaven and earth shall pass away,
Changeless Thou shalt live for aye.
4 As one lays a garment by,
Thou wilt change the starry sky
Like a vesture worn and old;
But Thy years shall ne'er be told.
Thou wilt make Thy servants' race
Ever live before Thy face,
And forever at Thy side
Children's children shall abide. Scripture: Psalm 102 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. GEORGE'S, WINDSOR (ELVEY)

Come, O Long-Expected Jesus

Born to set your people free;
From our fears and sins release us:
Christ, in you our rest shall be.

Hope to all the earth impart;
Dear desire of ev'ry nation,
Enter ev'ry longing heart.
3 Born your people to deliver,
Born a child, and yet a king;
Born to reign in us forever,
Now your gracious kingdom bring.
4 By your own eternal Spirit
Rule in all our hearts alone;
By your all-sufficient merit
Raise us to your glorious throne. Scripture: Isaiah 52:7 Languages: English Tune Title: STUTTGART
Come, O Long-Expected Jesus
By Babel's Streams We Sat and Wept
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #301 (1934) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Israel in Captivity Lyrics: 1 By Babel's streams we sat and wept,
For memory still to Zion clung;
The winds alone our harp-strings swept,
That on the drooping willows hung.
2 There our rude captors, flushed with pride,
A song required to mock our wrongs;
Our spoilers called for mirth and cried,
Come, sing us one of Zion's songs.
3 Not songs but sighs to us belong
When Zion's walls in ruin lie;
How shall we sing Jehovah's song
While in an alien land we die?
4 O Zion fair, God's holy hill,
Wherein our God delights to dwell,
Let my right hand forget her skill
If I forget to love thee well.
5 If I do not remember thee,
Then let my tongue from utterance cease,
If any earthly joy to me
Be dear as Zion's joy and peace.
6 Remember, Lord, the dreadful day
Of Zion's cruel overthrow;
How happy he who shall repay
The bitter hatred of her foe. Scripture: Psalm 137 Languages: English Tune Title: OLIVE'S BROW
