Judge Me, God of My Salvation
O God, We Have Heard and Our Fathers Have Told
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #86 (1934) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Topics: Persecution Of Believers Lyrics: 1 O God, we have heard and our fathers have told
What wonders Thou didst in the great days of old;
The nations were crushed and expelled by Thy hand,
Cast out that Thy people might dwell in their land.
2 They gained not the land by the edge of the sword,
Their own arm to them could no safety afford,
But Thy right hand saved, and the light of Thy face,
Because of Thy favor and wonderful grace.
3 Command, and Thy word shall deliverance bring,
O God, to Thy chosen, for Thou art our King;
Through Thee we will surely defeat all our foes,
Through Thy name will triumph o'er those that oppose.
4 No trust will I place in my strength to defend,
Nor yet on my sword as a safeguard depend;
In Thee, Who hast saved us and put them to shame,
We boast all the day, ever praising Thy Name.
5 Thou, Lord, hast forsaken, to shame brought our boasts;
No more to the field dost Thou go with our hosts;
Thou turnest us back from the foe in dismay,
And spoilers who hate us have made us their prey.
6 Like sheep to the slaughter Thy people are given,
Dispersed through the nations, afar we are driven;
Thou sellest Thy people to strangers for naught,
Their price to Thy treasure no increase has brought.
7 Thou makest our neighbors reproach us in pride,
And those that are near us to scoff and deride;
A byword the nations have made of our name,
With scorn and derision they put us to shame.
8 Yea, all the day long I behold my disgrace,
And covered am I with confusion of face;
The voice of blasphemers and scoffers I hear,
The foe and avenger against me appear.
9 All this have we suffered, and never forgot
To serve Thee, Jehovah, nor falsely have wrought;
Our heart is not turned and our steps have not strayed,
Though crushed amid ruins and under death’s shade.

Hear, Lord, the Voice of My Complaint
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Blue) #113 (1976) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Persecution Of Believers Scripture: Psalm 64 Languages: English Tune Title: MONORA
Hear, Lord, the Voice of My Complaint
Hear, Lord, the Voice of My Complaint
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #120 (1934) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Persecution Of Believers Lyrics: 1 Hear Lord, the voice of my complaint,
Preserve my life from fear,
Hide me from plotting enemies
And evil, crowding near.
The workers of iniquity
Their deadly shafts prepare;
They aim at me their treacherous words;
O save me from their snare.
2 The wicked in their base designs
Grow arrogant and bold;
Conspiring secretly, they think
That God will not behold;
They search out more iniquity,
Their thoughts and plans are deep,
But God will smite, for He is near
His saints to guard and keep.
3 The wicked, by their sins o'ercome,
Shall soon be brought to shame;
The hand of God shall yet appear,
And all shall fear His Name.
The just shall triumph in the Lord,
Their trust shall be secure,
And endless glory then shall crown
The upright and the pure. Scripture: Psalm 64 Languages: English Tune Title: MONORA

O Thou Great Shepherd of Thy Chosen Race
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #163 (1934) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Topics: Persecution Of Believers Lyrics: 1 O Thou great Shepherd of Thy chosen race,
Who leadest like a flock Thy Israel dear,
From out the cherubim reveal Thy face,
Before our host now let Thy might appear.
Come Thou, O God, to save us and restore;
We shall be saved when shines Thy face once more.
2 How long, O Lord, wilt Thou disdain our prayer?
For Thou hast fed us with the bread of tears,
And bitter sorrow Thou hast made us share;
The nations round us mock with scornful jeers.
O God of Hosts, Thy people now restore;
We shall be saved when shines Thy face once more.
3 A vine Thou broughtest forth from Egypt's land;
The nations were thrust out to give it room;
It took deep root, it spread on every hand,
The hills were covered with its shade and bloom;
Its boughs were like great cedars spreading wide;
They reached the sea, its roots the riverside.
4 Why hast Thou broken down its circling wall
That they may pluck who pass along the way?
Wild beasts from out the wood destroy it all
And feed upon Thy vine by night and day.
O God of hosts, we pray Thee now, restore;
We shall be saved when shines Thy face once more.
5 Look down, behold and visit this Thy vine
Which Thou hast planted with Thy own right hand,
The branch Thou hast made strong and owned as Thine,
For it is burned with fire, no more to stand;
Thy people perish in Thy anger sore
Because Thy face now shines on them no more.
6 O let Thy hand Thy chosen one sustain,
The son of man Thou madest strong to be;
So we shall faithful to Thy cause remain;
Revive Thou us, and we will call on Thee.
Jehovah, God of hosts, again restore;
We shall be saved when shines Thy face once more.

Faith of Our Fathers! Living Still
Author: Rev. Frederick W. Faber Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #429 (1934) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: Persecution Of Believers Lyrics: 1 Faith of our fathers! living still
In spite of dungeon, fire, and sword;
O how our hearts beat high with joy
Whene'er we hear that glorious Word!
Faith of our fathers, holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death.
2 Our fathers, chained in prisons dark,
Were still in heart and conscience free;
How sure will be their children's peace
If we, like them, should die for thee!
Faith of our martyrs, holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death.
3 Faith of our fathers! we will love
Both friend and foe in all our strife,
And preach thee, too, as love knows how,
By kindly words and virtuous life.
Faith of our fathers, holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. CATHERINE

No Glory, LORD, we claim
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #CXV (1767) Topics: Description of Confidence of Believers in Dangers; Description of Idols; Prayers Of the Church for her Deliverance in Persecution; Prophecies Prophetical Curses against the Enemies and Persecutors of the Chruch Lyrics: 1 No Glory, LORD, we claim;
But to thy sacred Name
Be all the Praise addressed;
Thou, who dost ever prove
The GOD of Truth an dLOVE,
Hath us in Mercy blessed.
2 Why should the Heathen say,
"Where doth their GOD delay?
"Why are they not released?"
Our GOD, who dwells on high,
The Sov'reign of the Sky,
Hath done whate'er him pleased.
3 Their golden Idol stands,
The Work of mortal Hands,
It's Mouth no Words expressing;
It hath both Eyes and Ears,
Yet neither sees nor hears;
It's Nose no Smell possessing.
4 Its Hands but useless prove,
It's Feet can never move,
To one fix'd Place confined;
Though Idols senseless are,
As stupid they appear,
Who them for Gods designed.
5 Israel, on GOD depend,
Who only can defend,
And succour the Distressed;
Priests, Levites, him alone
Your GOD and Saviour own;
To him be Praise addressed.
6 All ye that fear the LORD,
Trust in his holy Word,
On him with Faith relying:
'Tis he doth Comfort yield,
He is your Help and Shield,
Your Wants he's still supplying.
7 We have his Goodness seen,
And GOD hath mindful been,
Of Israel; he hath blessed
Priest, Levites, great and small,
His Proselytes, ev'n all,
Who hath his Name confessed.
8 For you, and for your Heirs,
His Blessing he prepares,
Who made both Earth and Heaven;
The Skies are all his own,
This World he fran'd alone,
Which he to us hath given.
9 The Dead, O righteous LORD!
To thee no Praise afford,
In silent Shades confined:
But we will evermore,
Thy glorious Name adore,
With Hearts to thee resigned. Scripture: Psalm 115 Languages: English Tune Title: [No Glory, Lord, we claim]
No Glory, LORD, we claim
Our Fathers, LORD, repeatedly
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #XLIV (1767) Topics: Description of Confidence of Believers in Dangers; Prayers Of the Church for her Deliverance in Persecution Lyrics: 1 Our Fathers, LORD, repeatedly
Have told in our attentive Ears,
The mighty Wonders, thou hast done
In Times more ancient far than theirs:
How thou didst plant them by thy Hand,
And drove the Heathen from the Land.
2 For not their Courage, nor their Sword,
To them this great Possession gave;
Nor Strength that from unequal Force,
Their fainting Troops could ever save;
But thy right Hand, which they implor'd,
Thy Presence which they still ador'd.
3 As thee their GOD our Fathers own'd,
So thou art now our sov'reign King;
Oh therefore, as thou didst to them,
To us thy kind Deliv'rance bring;
For thro' thy Name, our Foes we quell,
Whene'er against us they rebel.
4 I'll neither trust my Bow, nor Sword,
When I in Battles fierce engage;
But thee, who hast our Foes subdu'd,
And put to shame their spiteful Rage:
In GOD, from whom the Conquest came,
We will rejoice and bless his Name.
5 But thou hast cast us off, and now
Most shamefully we're forc'd to yield;
For Thou no more vouchsaf'st to lead,
Our vanquish'd Armies to the Field;
To ev'ry Foe we turn in Fight,
And with our Spoil they feast their Spite.
6 To Slaughter doom'd, we fall like Sheep
Into their butch'ring Hands;
Or what's more wretched yet, survive
Dispers'd throughout the Heathen Lands;
Thy People thou valu'd low,
That their Disgrace may greater grow.
7 Reproach'd by all the Neighbours round,
The Heathen's By-word we are grown,
Whose Scorn of us, is both in Speech,
And in provoking Gestures shewn:
My Face in conscious Shame I hide,
Whilst they blaspheme in haughty Pride.
8 On us this Heap of Woes is fall'n,
All this Disgrace we have endur'd,
Yet have not, LORD, renounc'd thy Name,
Or Faith to thee, out GOD abjur'd;
But in thy Paths have kept with Care;
Tho' brought to Danger and Despair.
9 Could we, forgetting thy great Name,
Oh LORD, on other GODs rely,
And not the Searcher of all Hearts,
The treach'rous Crime at once descry?
For thee we daily Wrongs sustain,
And are like Sheep doom'd to be slain.
10 Awake, arise, let seeming Sleep
No longer thee, our GOD, detain;
Nor let us, LORD, who sue for Aid,
Forever sue to thee in vain;
But hasten thou to our Relief,
And let thy Presence banish Grief.
11 Oh wherefore hidest thou thy Face,
From our afflicted ruin'd State?
Whose Souls and Bodies sink to Earth,
Beneath our Grief's oppressive WeightL
Up, LORD, and us in Safety take!
Oh help us for thy Mercie's Sake! Scripture: Psalm 44 Languages: English Tune Title: [Our Fathers, Lord, repeatedly]
Our Fathers, LORD, repeatedly
When we, our wearied Lmbs to rest
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #CXXXVII (1767) Topics: Prayers Of the Church for her Deliverance in Persecution; Prophecies Prophetical Curses against the Enemies and Persecutors of the Chruch; Soul's Desire Of Believers Lyrics: 1 When we, our wearied Limbs to rest,
Sat down by proud Euphrates Stream,
We wept, with doleful Thoughts oppress'd,
And Sion was our mournful Theme;
Our Harps, that when with Joy we sung,
Were wont their tuneful Parts to bear,
With silent Strings neglected hung,
On Willow-Tress that wither'd there.
2 Mean while our Foes, who all conspir'd
To triumph in our slavish Wrongs,
Music and Mirth of us requir'd,
"Come, sing us one of Sion's Songs."
How shall we tun our Voice to sing?
Or touch our Harps with skilful Hands?
Shall Hymns of Joy to GOD our King,
Be sung by Slaves in foreign Lands?
3 O Salem, our once happy Seat!
When I of thee forgetful prove,
Let then my trembling Hand forget,
The speaking Strings with Art to move.
If I to mention thee forbear,
Eternal Silence seize my Tongue.
Or if I sing one chearful Aire,
'Till thy Deliv'rance is my Song.
4 Remember, LORD, how Edom's Race,
In thy own City's fatal Day,
Cry'd out, "Her stately Wills deface,
"And with the Ground quite level lay."
Proud Babel's Daughter, doom'd to be
Of Grief and Woe the wretched Prey,
Bless'd is the Man, who shall to thee,
The Wrongs thou laid'st on us, repay.
5 Thrice bless'd, who with just Rage possess'd,
And deaf to all the Parents Moans,
Shall snatch thy Infants from the Breast,
And dash their Heads against the Stones. Scripture: Psalm 137 Languages: English Tune Title: [When we, our wearied Limbs to rest]

2 Hide no thy face from me,
In wrath turn not away,

Forsake me not, I pray;

3 Teach me, O Lord, Thy way,
Make plain tome my path;
Because my foes, I pray,
Protect me from their wrath;
To false accusers, cruel foes,
O Lord, do not my soul expose.

I shall Thy goodness see
While Thou dost life accord.

Yea, trust and wait, the Lord is near. Scripture: Psalm 27 Languages: English Tune Title: SAMUEL

I call upon Thy Name;
O save me in thy righteousness,
Nor let me suffer shame.
2 Bow down Thy ear to my request,
And swift deliv'rance send;
Be Thou to me a rock of strength,
A fortress to defend.
3 Since Thou my rock and fortress art,
My leader be, and guide;
From all temptation rescue me,

Redemption is with Thee,
O Thou Jehovah, God of truth,
Who hast delivered me.

My trust is in the Lord;
I will be glad, and joyfully
Thy mercy will record.
6 For my affliction Thou hast seen,
And known my many woes;
Thou hast not let me be enslaved,
But freed me from my foes.
7 Show mercy, Lord, to me distressed,
And send my soul relief,
My life is spent with bitterness,
My strength consumed with grief.
8 I mourn and fail because of sin,
Friends turn in dread away;
Reproached am I and terrified,
While foes conspire to slay.
9 But, Lord, in Thee is all my trust,
Thou art my God, I cried;
My life, my times are in Thy hand,
I in Thy strength confide.
10 From all that persecute my soul
thy gracious help I crave;
O smile upon thy servant, Lord,
And in Thy mercy save.
11 Let me not be ashamed, O Lord,
I plead with Thee to save;
but let the wicked be ashamed,
And silent in the grave.
12 Yea, let their lips henceforth be mute
Who words of falsehood seek,
The lips which with contempt and pride
Against the righteous speak.
