Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #P.LXXIX (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: Church Hymn Book Lyrics: 1 Behold, O God, what cruel foes, Thy peaceful heritage invade; Thy holy temple stands defil'd, In dust thy sacred walls are laid. 2 Wise o'er the valleys, drench'd in blood, Thy people fall'n in death remain; The fowls of heav'n their flesh devour, And savage beasts divide the slain. 3 The insulting foes, with impious rage, Reproach thy children to their face; "Where is your God of boasted pow'r, And where the promise of his grace." 4 Deep from the prison's horrid glooms, Oh hear the mournful captive sigh, And let thy sov'reign pow'r reprieve, The trembling souls condemn'd to die. 5 Let those, who dar'd insult thy reign, Return dismay'd with endless shame, While heathens, who by thy grace despise Shall from thy vengeance learn thy name. 6 So shall thy children, freed from death, Eternal songs of honour raise, And ev'ry future age shall tell, Thy sov'reign pow'r and pard'ning grace.
