Defeat and Triumphant Hope

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Anger of God Deprecated First Line: O God, Thou hast rejected us Lyrics: 1 O God, Thou hast rejected us, And hast afflicted sore; Thou hast been angry, but in grace O once again restore. 2 Lo, Thou hast torn and rent our land, Thy judgments dread appall; O hear her shattered strength before She totter to her fall. 3 Through ways of trial and distress Thy people Thou hast led. A bitter cup Thou givest us Of misery and dread. 4 A glorious banner Thou hast giv'n To those who fear Thy Name, A banner to display abroad, And thus the truth proclaim. 5 That Thy beloved may be saved And from their foes set free, Help with the might of Thy right hand, In mercy answer me. 6 God in His holiness hath said: I will triumphant be, All heathen lands I claim as Mine, And they shall bow to Me. 7 Now, therefore, who will lead us on Sin's strongholds to possess? No longer cast us off, O God, But give our hosts success. 8 Give Thou Thy help against the foe, For help of man is vain; Through God we shall do valiantly, The victory He shall gain. Scripture: Psalm 60 Used With Tune: FARRANT

Covenant Faithfulness

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Anger of God Deprecated First Line: In vision to His saints God spake Lyrics: 1 In vision to His saints God spake; From out the people one I take, A mighty leader, true and brave, Ordained, exalted, strong to save, Ordained, exalted, strong to save. 2 My chosen servant I appoint, With holy oil his head anoint; My hand with him shall still remain, My arm his strength shall well sustain, My arm his strength shall well sustain. 3 No enemy shall him affright, His adversaries I will smite, My faithfulness to him will prove, And never more My grace remove, And never more My grace remove. 4 Yea, he shall triumph in My Name, And great shall be his pow'r and fame, From sea to sea his mighty hand Shall hold dominion o'er the land, Shall hold dominion o'er the land. 5 Thou art my Father, he shall cry, My God, my rock of refuge high; My first-born son shall he be owned, Above the kings of earth enthroned, Above the kings of earth enthroned. 6 For him My mercy shall endure, My covenant made with him is sure, His throne and race I will maintain Forever, while the heavens remain, Forever, while the heavens remain. 7 Should sons of his My laws forsake, My just commands and statues break, Then, though My rod their sins reprove, My mercy I will not remove, My mercy I will not remove. 8 Though they be chastened sore and tried, My faithfulness shall yet abide; My plighted word I will not break, Nor change the promise that I spake, Nor change the promise that I spake. 9 My oath is steadfast, ever sure, My servant's race shall still endure; His throne forever firm shall stay When sun and moon have passed away, When sun and moon have passed away. 10 On Thy anointed wrath is poured As if Thy covenant were abhorred; Thou hast profaned his kingly crown, His matchless strength is broken down, His matchless strength is broken down. 11 He is reproached and spoiled of all, His enemies upon him fall; His beauty is consumed away, Forgotten is his kingly sway, Forgotten is his kingly sway. 12 Cut off in youth, his sacred name Is covered now with deepest shame; How long, O Lord, shall wrath abide? Thy face forever wilt Thou hide? Thy face forever wilt Thou hide? 13 Think on my life; O Lord, take thought; Hast Thou created man for nought? What man that lives has power to save His soul from death, and from the grave? His soul from death, and from the grave? 14 Where are Thy mercies which of old Where in Thy promises foretold? Remember, Lord, the bitter shame Heaped on Thy own anointed's name, Heaped on Thy own anointed's name. 15 Blest be the Lord for evermore, Whose promise stands from days of yore. His word is faithful now as then; Blest be His Name. Amen. Amen. Blest be His Name, Amen. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 89 Used With Tune: ROTHWELL

The Foes of the Church

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Anger of God Invoked First Line: O God, no longer hold Thy peace Lyrics: 1 O God, no longer hold Thy peace, No longer silent be; Thine enemies lift up their head To fight Thy saints and Thee. 2 Against Thy own, whom Thou dost love, Their craft Thy foes employ; They think to cut Thy people off, Thy Church they would destroy. 3 Thy ancient foes, conspiring still, With one consent agree, And they who with Thy people strive Make war, O God, with Thee. 4 O God, Who in our fathers' time Didst smite our foes and Thine, So smite Thy enemies today Who in their pride combine. 5 Make them like dust and stubble blown Before the whirlwind dire, In terror driv'n before the storm Of Thy consuming fire. 6 Confound them in their sin till they To Thee for pardon fly, Till in dismay they trembling, own That Thou art God Most High. Scripture: Psalm 83 Used With Tune: GREEN HILL

The Church in Trial

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Anger of God Deprecated; Anger of God Fearful 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.

Praise and Confession

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Anger of God Righteous First Line: Praise ye the Lord, for He is good Lyrics: 1 Praise ye the Lord, for He is good; Give thanks and bless His Name; His loving-kindness changes not, From age to age the same. 2 What tongue can tell His mighty deeds, His wondrous works and ways? O who can show His glory forth, Or utter all His praise? 3 The Lord will bless and prosper those, Yea, blest indeed are they, Whose ways are just, who constantly His righteous law obey. 4 O Lord, remember me in grace, Let me salvation see; The grace Thou showest to Thy saints, That grace reveal to me. 5 Let me behold Thy people's good And in their joy rejoice; With Thy triumphant heritage Let me lift up my voice. 6 In evil we have gone astray, And sinful is our race; Rebelliously our fathers walked, Forgetful of Thy grace. 7 Though they rebelled, yet for their help In saving strength he came To make His power almighty known And glorify His Name. 8 He brought them safely through the sea And overwhelmed their foes; Their faith was stirred, and for the time Their songs of praise arose. 9 Forgetful soon, they tempted God, Nor for His counsel cared; He sent them leanness in their souls, Whilst they earth's bounties shared. 10 With envy they regarded those Whom God to them had sent; The opening earth, the kindling flame, Brought awful punishment. 11 A golden image they adored, And worshiped at its shrine; Thus they despised the living God And scorned His love divine. Scripture: Psalm 106 Used With Tune: BARKE
