The Psalms of David ‎#P60

P60. Lord, hast thou cast the Nation off?

1 Lord, hast thou cast the Nation off?
Must we for ever mourn?
Wilt thou indulge immortal Wrath?
Shall Mercy ne'er return?

2 The Terror of one Frown of thine
Melts all our Strength away;
Like Men that totter drunk with Wine,
We tremble in Dismay.

3 Great-Britain shakes beneath thy Stroke
And dreads thy threatning Hand;
O heal the Island thou hast broke,
Confirm the wav'ring Land.

4 Lift up a Banner in the Field
For those that fear thy Name;
Save thy Beloved with thy Shield,
And put our Foes to Shame.

5 Go with our Armies to the Fight,
Like a Confed'rate GOD;
In vain confed'rate Pow'rs unite
Against thy lifted Rod.

6 Our Troops shall gain a wide Renown,
By thine assisting Hand;
'Tis GOD that treads the Mighty down,
And makes the Feeble stand.
