The Church in Trial

Hymnal: The Psalter #205 (1912) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Temperance Songs 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 Languages: English Tune Title: COWPER

God the Righteous Judge

Hymnal: The Psalter #253 (1912) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Temperance Songs First Line: O Lord, Thou Judge of all the earth Lyrics: 1 O Lord, Thou Judge of all the earth, To Whom all vengeance doth belong, Arise and show Thy glory forth, Requite the proud, condemn the wrong. 2 How long, O Lord, in boastful pride Shall wicked men triumphant stand? How long shall they afflict Thy saints And devastate Thy chosen land? 3 The widow and the fatherless They slay, and helpless strangers smith; The faithful God they do not fear, They say the Lord will not requite. 4 Be wise, ye fools and brutish men; Shall not He see Who formed the eye? Shall not He hear Who formed the ear, And judge, Who reigneth, God Most High? 5 The Lord will judge in righteousness, From Him all truth and knowledge flow; The foolish thoughts of wicked men, How vain they are the Lord doth know. 6 That man is blest whom Thou, O Lord, With chastening hand dost teach Thy will, For in the day when sinners fall That man in peace abideth still. 7 The Lord will not cast off His own, Nor His inheritance forsake; Just judgment shall at length prevail, And upright hearts shall courage take. 8 Who will arise for my defense Against the wicked in the land? Against iniquity and wrong What man for me will valiant stand? 9 Unless the Lord had been my help, My life had quickly passed away; But when my foot had almost slipped, O Lord, Thy mercy was my stay. 10 Amid the doubts that fill my mind Thy comforts, Lord, bring joy to me; Can wickedness, though throned in might, Have fellowship, O Lord, with Thee? 11 The wicked, in their might arrayed, Against the righteous join their power, But to the Lord I flee for help, He is my refuge and my tower. 12 Our God, the refuge of His saints, Will fight against iniquity; Avenger of the innocent The Lord omnipotent will be.
