How long shall I repine
The heathen hosts, O God
Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Heathen Hosts, O GOD!
Have thy Possession seiz'd;
Thy sacred House defil'd,
Thy holy City raz'd.
The Bodies of thy Saints,
Abroad unburied lay;
Their Flesh expos'd to Beasts,
Or rav'nous Birds a Prey.
2 Their Blood, like Water, was
Around Jerus'lem shed;
And none were left to pay
The Duties to the Dead:
The Foe our small Remains
With loud Reproaches wound;
And are made the Sport
Of all the Nations round.
3 How long wilt thou be wrathj?
LORD, must we ever mourn?
And shall thy jealous Rage,
Like Fire for ever burn?
Our Lands that know not thee,
Thy heavy Vengeance show'r;
Those Kingdoms let it crush,
That have not own'd thy Pow'r.
4 Their hungry Jaws have prey'd
On Jacob's chosen Race;
And to a Desart turn'd,
Their fruitful Dwelling Place.
O think not on our Sins,
But speedily prevent
The Ruin of thy Saints,
Almost with Sorrow spent.
5 Thy Help, O GOD, impart
And free our Souls from Blame,
So shall thy wond'rous Love
Exalt thy glorious Name.
Let Infidels that say,
"Where is the GOD they boast"?
In Vengeance, for thy Saints,
Perceive thee to their Cost.
6 LORD, hear the Pris'ner's Moans!
Thy saving Pow'r extend;
Preserve them, doom'd to die,
From their untimely End!
Those who blaspheme thy Name,
Do thou, O GOD, destroy;
Against the Nations round,
Resistless Pow'r employ.
7 For they have us opprest;
Then let them be repaid,
With Sorrows sev'n Times more
Than what on us they laid.
So we thy humble Flock,
Shall ever praise thy Name;
And our unwearied Thanks,
From Age to Age proclaim. Topics: Prayers Of the Church for her Deliverance in Persecution; Prophecies Prophetical Curses against the Enemies and Persecutors of the Chruch Scripture: Psalm 79 Used With Tune: [The Heathen Hosts, O God]
The heathen hosts, O God
He's bless'd whose tender Care
Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 He's bless'd whose tender Care,
Relieves the Poor distress'd,
When Troubles gather round,
The LORD shall give him Rest;
His Life with Blessings crown'd,
The LORD shall sure prolong;
And check the Will of those,
Who seek to do him Wrong.
2 If he, in low Estate,
Oppress'd with Sickness lie,
The LORD will Comfort send,
And inward Strength supply;
Secure of this, to GOD,
I thus my Pray'r address'd,
"LORD, heal my wounded Soul,
"For I have much trasgress'd!"
3 My Foes, with sland'ring Words,
Attempt to wound my Fame;
"When shall he die," say they,
"And Men forget his Name?"
Suppose they Visits make,
'Tis all but empty Show;
They gather Mischief then,
And vent it when they go.
4 With Whispers, such as these,
To hurt me they devise,
"His Doom a length is come,
"He's fall'n, no more to rise."
My own familiar Friend,
On whom I most rely'd,
Has me, whose Guest he was,
With open Scorn defy'd.
5 But thou, my wretched State,
In Mercy, LORD, regard,
And raise me up, that they
May meet their just Reward.
Thou suffer'st not my Foes,
To triumph in my Fall.
Therefore I know thine Ear,
Is open when I call.
6 My Life thou dost secure,
From Danger and Disgrace;
And thou shalt set me still,
Before thy glorious Face:
Let therefore Israel's LORD
From Ages to Age be blest,
And all the People's Joy

How long shall I repine
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #XIII (1767) Lyrics: 1 How long shall I repine?
LORD, must I ever mourn?
Hast thou withdrawn from me?
And wilt thou ne'er return?
How long shall anxious Thoughts
My Heart with Grief oppress?
How long my Foes insult,
And I have no Redress?
2 Oh! to my longing Eyes
Restore thy wonted Light;
And soon, or I shall sleep
In everlasting Night.
Restore me, lest they boast
'Twas their own Strength o'ercame;
Lest those who vex my Soul,
Should triumph in my shame.
3 Since I my Trust have plac'd
Beneath thy Mercy's Wing,
Thy Help will come, and then
My Heart with Joy shall sing:
Then shall my Song, inspir'd,
To thee, my GOD, ascend,
Who to thy Soul, distress'd,
Such Bounty didst extend. Topics: Prayers When surrounded by Enemies Scripture: Psalm 13 Languages: English Tune Title: [How long shall I repine]
