The Lords of Earth Are in the Hands
Author: David G. Preston Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 The lords of earth are in the hands
of God who reigns on high;
within their councils there he stands
with ever-watchful eye.
2 "How long will you betray the cause
of justice in the land?
You let the wicked flout the laws
and prosper by your hand.
3 "Defend the poor from those who place
no limit on their greed;
support the weak and fatherless
and rescue those in need."
4 Though mindless and corrupt they prove,
and tread the people down,
though earth's foundations all remove,
still God is on his throne.
5 They proudly boast a godlike birth;
in death, like men, they fall.
Arise, O God, and judge the earth
and rule the nations all! Topics: Fear; Government; Injustice; Justice Scripture: Psalm 82 Used With Tune: ADAM

How Long Will You Forget Me, LORD
Author: Christopher Idle Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How long will you forget me, Lord,
and hide your face away?
How long shall evils tear my heart
and troubles fill my day?
2 Look on my need, O LORD my God,
who grants my ev'ry breath;
give light that I may see your light,
not sleep the sleep of death.
3 Look on their threats and hear my cry,
and answer when I call,
or they will claim the victory
who long to see me fall.
4 LORD, in your mercy is my trust;
I shall be glad and free.
Then shall I sing with all my heart
how you have dealt with me. Topics: Comfort; Death; Enemies; Face of the Lord; God as Hidden; Grace; Impatience; Lament; Sadness; Trouble; Worry Scripture: Psalm 13 Used With Tune: ADAM
How Long Will You Forget Me, LORD
