O God, into thy heritage
Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #P79 (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Psalm 79 Lyrics: 1 O God, into thy heritage
the heathen entrance made;
thy holy place they have defiled,
on heaps Jerusalem laid.
2 Thy servants' bodies they have cast
to fowls of heaven for meat;
and of thy saints have thrown the flesh
to beasts of earth to eat.
3 Their blood about Jerusalem
like water they have shed;
and there was none to bury them
when they were slain and dead.
4 Unto our neighbours a reproach
most base become are we,
a scorn and laughing-stock to those
that round about us be.
5 How long, Lord, shall thine anger last?
Wilt thou still keep the same?
And shall thy fervent jealousy
burn like unto a flame?
6 Thy fury on the heathen pour
that have thee never known,
and on those kingdoms which thy name
have never called upon.
7 For these are they who have devoured
thy servant Jacob's race;
and they all waste and desolate
have made his dwelling-place.
8 Against us count not former sins,
thy tender mercies show;
let them prevent us speedily:
we are brought very low.
9 For thy name's glory help us, Lord,
who hast our Saviour been:
deliver us; for thy name's sake
O purge away our sin.
10 Why say the heathen, Where's their God?
Let him to them be known,
when those who shed ty servants' blood
are in our sight o'erthrown.
11 O let the prisoner's sighs ascend
before thy sight on high;
preserve thou in thy mighty power
those that are doomed to die.
12 And to our neighbours' bosom let
it sevenfold rendered be,
even the reproach wherewith they have
O Lord, reproached there.
13 So we, thy folk, and pasture-sheep,
shall give thee thanks always;
and unto generations all
we will show forth thy praise. Languages: English Tune Title: ST KILDA

O God, the Heathen Have Attacked
Author: Christopher Idle Hymnal: Christian Worship #79C (2021) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Scripture: Psalm 79 Lyrics: 1 O God, the heathen have attacked
your holy land, your house of prayer;
your city they have left a wreck,
your servants dead and dying there,
as if we had no God to help,
no King's defense, no Father's care.
2 LORD, will your anger never cease?
It overwhelms us like a flood,
while unbelieving nations round
deride our tears, our pain and blood.
But will you let them mock your name
and taunt us: "Now where is your God?"
3 Lord, listen to the pris'ners' groans,
set free the slaves condemned to die;
bring justice to this tortured world,
and, when you hear your people's cry,
we shall forever give you thanks
and sing your glory, God Most High!

The Heathen, Lord, thy Heritage
Hymnal: A New Version of the Psalms of David #144 (1752) Scripture: Psalm 79 Lyrics: 1. The Heathen, Lord, thy Heritage,
Did furiously invade;
Defii'd thy Temple, and in Heaps,
Jerusalem have laid.
2. The Bodies of thy Servants slain,
For Meat to Fowls of Heav'n;
And thy Saints Flesh, to savage Beasts,
They cruelly have giv'n.
3. They round about Jerusalem,
Their Blood, like Water, shed;
And none was found to pay the last
Kind Office to the Dead.
4. Our Neighbours load us with Reproach,
Our Fame they deeply wound;
We're made the very Scorn, and Mock
Of all the Nations round.
5. How long, Jehovah! Shall thy Wrath
Against us ne'er expire?
Shall thy inflamed Jealousy,
Burn like devouring Fire?
6. On heathen Tribes, who know not Thee,
Thy wrathful Vengeance pour;
On impious Kingdoms, which thy Name
Ne'er rev'rence, and adore.
7. For they have greedily devour'd
Thy Fav'rite Jacob's Race;
Their Rage has utterly laid waste
His ancient dwelling Place.
Second Part
8. Mind not against us former Sins,
Let tender Mercy flow;
Our Ruin speedily prevent,
We're brought exceeding low.
9. Help us, O our Salvation's God,
For th' Honour of thy Name;
For thy Name's Sake, deliver us,
And purge our Souls from Blame.
l0. Why say the Heathen, "Where's their God?
Among the Nations spread
Thy Fame, in Vengeance, in our Sight,
For Blood of Saints they've shed.
11. O let, before thy Face, ascend
The sighing Pris'ner's Cry;
By thy great Pow'r, preserve the Sons
Of Death, condemn'd to die.
12. Into their Bosom seven-fold,
Our Neighbour's Spite reward,
And the Reproach, wherewith they have
Reproached Thee, O Lord.
13. Then we thy Flock, thy Pasture's Sheep,,
Will give thee Thanks always;
From Age to Age, we will shew forth
Our great Redeemer's Praise.

How Long, O God, Will My Prayers Be in Vain?
Author: Barbara Hamm Hymnal: Glory to God #779 (2013) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Scripture: Psalm 79 Lyrics: 1 How long, O God, will my prayers be in vain?
Why must I languish in sorrow and pain?
Do not abandon a child you have made;
you are my shelter, my solace and shade.
2 When evil prospers and hope is long gone,
do not forsake me, your presence withdrawn.
Shield and protect those who call on your name;
you are my God, and your blessing I claim.
3 Early and late will my tongue sing your praise;
you will uphold me the length of my days.
You are a stronghold for all the oppressed;
hear us, O God! Let your people be blessed.
