The Church in Trial

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Anger of God Deprecated; Anger of God Fearful First Line: O wherefore hast Thou cast us off 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 Fulfill, 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 Used With Tune: COWPER

The Foes of the Church

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Anger of God Invoked First Line: O God, no longer hold Thy peace 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. 2 Against Thy own, whom Thou dost love, Their craft Thy foes employ; They think to cut Thy people off, Thy Church they would destroy. 3 Thy ancient foes, conspiring still, With one consent agree, And they who with Thy people strive Make war, O God, with Thee. 4 O God, Who in our fathers' time Didst smite our foes and Thine, So smite Thy enemies today Who in their pride combine. 5 Make them like dust and stubble blown Before the whirlwind dire, In terror driv'n before the storm Of Thy consuming fire. 6 Confound them in their sin till they To Thee for pardon fly, Till in dismay they trembling, own That Thou art God Most High. Scripture: Psalm 83 Used With Tune: GREEN HILL

The Cry of the Mortal

Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: Anger of God Deprecated; Anger of God Fearful; Anger of God Righteous First Line: Lord, thro' all the generations Lyrics: 1 Lord, thro' all the generations Of the children of our race, In our fears and tribulations, Thou hast been our dwelling-place. Ere the vast and wide creation By Thy word was cased to be, Or the mountains held their station, Thou art God eternally. 2 Each succeeding generation At Thy mighty word appears; Thou dost count in time's duration One day as a thousand years. Death, with swift and sudden warning, Calls us from life's dream away, Like the grass, green in the morning, Withered ere the close of day. 3 In Thy wrath our spirits languish, Sinful 'neath Thy searching eye; All our days are passed in anguish, In Thy wrath we pine and id. Threescore years and ten we tarry, Fourscore years the strong may stay, Long the load of grief to carry, Till at last we fly away. 4 Who can weigh Thy just displeasure, Who can fear Thee as he ought? Teach us now our days to measure And to wisdom turn our thought. Lord, return, regard our sadness; with Thy servants now abide; Fill our days with joy and gladness, With Thy mercy satisfied. 5 Long the clouds of evil lower; Bless us now with gladsome days; Let Thy servants see Thy power, Let their children learn Thy praise. On us let the grace and beauty Of the Lord our God remain, Strengthen us for noble duty That our work be not in vain. Scripture: Psalm 90 Used With Tune: ARMSTRONG

Expectancy of Grace

Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Anger of God Restrained First Line: O Lord, to us Thy mercy show Lyrics: 1 O Lord, to us Thy mercy show, And Thy salvation now bestow; We wait to hear what God will say; Peace to His people He will speak, And to His saints, but let them seek No more in folly's path to stray. 2 His saving help is surely near To those His holy Name that fear; Thus glory dwells in all our land. Now heav'nly truth unites with grace, And righteousness and peace embrace, In full accord they ever stand. 3 Truth springing forth the earth shall crown, And righteousness from heav'n look down, And God on us His goodness shed; Our land shall then with plenty flow, Before Him righteousness shall go, And cause us in His steps to tread. Scripture: Psalm 85 Used With Tune: MELITA

Commemoration and Praise

Appears in 26 hymnals Topics: Anger of God Restrained First Line: O Lord, by Thee delivered Lyrics: 1 O Lord, by Thee delivered, I Thee with songs extol; My foes Thou hast not suffered To glory o'er my fall. O Lord, my God, I sought Thee, And Thou didst heal and save; Thou, Lord, from death didst ransom, And keep me from the grave. 2 His holy Name remember, Ye saints, Jehovah praise; His anger lasts a moment, His favor all our days; For sorrow, like a pilgrim, May tarry for a night, But joy the heart will gladden When dawns the morning light. 3 In prosp'rous days I boasted, Unmoved I shall remain, For, Lord, by Thy good favor My cause Thou didst maintain; I soon was sorely troubled, For Thou didst hide Thy face; I cried to Thee, Jehovah, I sought Jehovah's grace. 4 What profit if I perish, If life Thou dost not spare? Shall dust repeat Thy praises, Shall it Thy truth declare? O Lord, on me have mercy, And my petition hear; That Thou mayst be my helper, In mercy, Lord, appear. 5 My grief is turned to gladness, To Thee my thanks I raise, Who hast removed my sorrow And girded me with praise; And now, no longer silent, My heart Thy praise will sing; O Lord, my God, for ever My thanks to Thee I bring. Scripture: Psalm 30 Used With Tune: CRUCIFIX
