Fools in Their Heart Have Said

Author: Anonymous Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Fools in their heart have said, There is no God of might; Corrupt are they and base their deeds, In evil they delight. 2. God looked from Heav’n above On all the human race To see if any understood, If any sought His face. 3. They all are gone aside, Corruption doth abound; There is not one that doeth good, Not even one is found. 4. These men of evil deeds Will they no knowledge gain, Who feed upon my people’s woes And prayer to God disdain? 5. The day is drawing nigh When they shall fear and quail For God shall scatter and destroy Those who His saints assail. 6. Yea, God will put to shame And make them flee away, For He will cast them off in wrath And fill them with dismay. 7. O would that Zion’s help Were out of Zion come! O would that God might early bring His captive people home! 8. When God from distant lands His exiled ones shall bring, His people shall exultant be, And gladly they shall sing. Used With Tune: BADEA Text Sources: The Psalter (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: The United Presbyterian Board of Publication, 1912), number 146

Author of "Fools in Their Heart Have Said" in The Cyber Hymnal In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
