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do not forsake me, your presence withdrawn.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.

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

Hymnal: Scottish Psalter and Paraphrases #P85 (1800) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Psalm 79 First Line: O God, the heathen enter'd have Lyrics:
1O God, the heathen enter’d have
thine heritage; by them
Defiled is thy house: on heaps
they laid Jerusalem.
2The bodies of thy servants they
have cast forth to be meat
To rav’nous fowls; thy dear saints’ flesh
they gave to beasts to eat.
3Their blood about Jerusalem
like water they have shed;
And there was none to bury them
when they were slain and dead.
4Unto our neighbours a reproach
most base become are we;
A scorn and laughingstock to them
that round about us be.
5How long, Lord, shall thine anger last?
wilt thou still keep the same?
And shall thy fervent jealousy
burn like unto a flame?
6On heathen pour thy fury forth,
that have thee never known,
And on those kingdoms which thy name
have never call’d upon.
7For these are they who Jacob have
devoured cruelly;
And they his habitation
have caused waste to lie.
8Against us mind not former sins;
thy tender mercies show;
Let them prevent us speedily,
for we’re brought very low.
9For thy name’s glory help us, Lord,
who hast our Saviour been:
Deliver us; for thy name’s sake,
O purge away our sin.
10Why say the heathen, Where’s their God?
let him to them be known;
When those who shed thy servants’ blood
are in our sight o’erthrown.
11O let the pris’ner’s sighs ascend
before thy sight on high;
Preserve those in thy mighty pow’r
that are design’d to die.
12And to our neighbours’ bosom cause
it sev’n-fold render’d be,
Ev’n the reproach wherewith they have,
O Lord, reproached thee.
13So we thy folk, and pasture-sheep,
shall give thee thanks always;
And unto generations all
we will shew forth thy praise.

For thou art with me; and thy rod

forgive our foolish ways.
Re-clothe us in our rightful mind,

2 In simple trust like theirs who heard,
beside the Syrian sea,
the gracious calling of the Lord,
let us, like them, without a word,
rise up and follow thee,
rise up and follow thee!
3 O Sabbath rest by Galilee!
O calm of hills above,
where Jesus knelt to share with thee
the silence of eternity
interpreted by love,
interpreted by love!
4 Drop thy still dews of quietness,
till all our strivings cease;
take from our souls the strain and stress,
and let our ordered lives confess
the beauty of thy peace,
the beauty of thy peace.
5 Breathe through the heats of our desire
thy coolness and thy balm;
let sense be dumb, let flesh retire;
speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire,

now, O God, rebellious stand;
they defile your holy temple,
they destroy your chosen land.
Ruthless, they have slain your servants,
they have caused your saints to mourn;
in the sight of all about us
we endure reproach and scorn.
2 O how long against your people
will your anger burn, O LORD?
On your enemies, the heathen,
let your anger, LORD, be poured.
Smite the kingdoms that defy you,
that do not call on your name.
They have long devoured your people
and destroyed your land with flame.
3 O remember not against us
evil by our fathers done.
LORD, deliver in your mercy;
near to ruin we have come.
Help us, God of our salvation,
for the glory of your name.
Why should nations shout defiance?
Take away our sin and shame.
4 Let the nations know our Savior
will avenge his servants slain.
Loose the prisoner, save the dying,
all your enemies restrain.
Then your flock, your chosen people,
songs of thankfulness will raise;
and, to every generation,
we will sing your glorious praise.

Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns to the Living God #79 (2023) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Scripture: Psalm 79 Lyrics: 1 In Thy heritage the nations now,
O God, triumphant stand;
they defile Thy holy temple,
they destroy Thy chosen land;
ruthless, they have slain Thy servants,
they have caused Thy saints to mourn,
in the sight of all about us
we endure reproach and scorn.
2 O how long against Thy people
shall Thy anger burn, O LORD?
On Thy enemies, the heathen,
be Thy indignation poured;
smite the kingdoms that defy Thee,
calling not upon Thy Name.
They have long devoured Thy people
and have swept Thy land with flame.
3 O remember not against us
evil by our fathers wrought;
haste to help us in Thy mercy,
near to ruin we are brought;
help us, God of our salvation,
for the glory of Thy Name;
for Thy Name's sake come and save us,
take away our sin and shame.
4 Let Thy foes no longer scorn Thee,
now avenge Thy servants slain;
loose the pris'ner, save the dying,
all Thy enemies restrain;
then Thy flock, Thy chosen people,
unto Thee Thy thanks shall raise,
and to every generation,
we will sing Thy glorious praise. Topics: Supplication Languages: English Tune Title: BLAENWERN

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!

A Place where wickedness abound
Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #CXLVI (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Psalm 79 Lyrics: 1 A Place where wickedness abound,
Where scarce a righteous soul is found:
There punishment for sins is due,
And must be executed too.
2 Jerusalem, that noted place,
Found it to be her awful case;
Where judgments with their threat'nings meet
Destruction soon is made complete.
3 It was the blessed Saviour's charge,
Where vices sway their pow'r at large;
Who then is wise these things to see,
Then let him to the mountains flee.
4 The axe which to the root is laid,
As John, the faithful Prophet said:
Will cut that wicked nation down
without the least of mercy shown.
5 The Jews, be aggravating crimes,
Brought on them selves such fatal times;
Times of distress, and wo, and grief,
But not a time to find relief.
6 False Christs arose in ev'ry part,
And with deceptions, schemes and art,
Were many simple souls decoy'd,
And in their sins at last destroy'd.
7 Just like a carrion on the ground,
To which the Eagles flock around;
The doctrine of such teachers are,
To silly souls a trap and snare.
8 Their doctrine would have that effect,
As to deceive the Lord's elect!
Was not their hope in Jesus stay'd,
And thus upheld by heav'nly aid.
9 What evil sin on earth can do,
From this sad passage we may know;
Lord! make us wise to meditate,
And flee before it be too late.

Behold, O God, what cruel foes
Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #P.LXXIX (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Psalm 79 Lyrics: 1 Behold, O God, what cruel foes,
Thy peaceful heritage invade;
Thy holy temple stands defil'd,
In dust thy sacred walls are laid.
2 Wise o'er the valleys, drench'd in blood,
Thy people fall'n in death remain;
The fowls of heav'n their flesh devour,
And savage beasts divide the slain.
3 The insulting foes, with impious rage,
Reproach thy children to their face;
"Where is your God of boasted pow'r,
And where the promise of his grace."
4 Deep from the prison's horrid glooms,
Oh hear the mournful captive sigh,
And let thy sov'reign pow'r reprieve,
The trembling souls condemn'd to die.
5 Let those, who dar'd insult thy reign,
Return dismay'd with endless shame,
While heathens, who by thy grace despise
Shall from thy vengeance learn thy name.
6 So shall thy children, freed from death,
Eternal songs of honour raise,
And ev'ry future age shall tell,
Thy sov'reign pow'r and pard'ning grace. Topics: For the Distress of War Languages: English

and for his sheep he doth us take.

approach with joy his courts unto;

his mercy is forever sure;
his truth at all times firmly stood,
and shall from age to age endure.

to him who has great wonders done:
Love sits enthroned in ageless splendor--
come and adore the Mighty One.
He has made known his great salvation
which all his friends with joy confess;
he has revealed to every nation
his everlasting righteousness.
2 Joyfully, heartily resounding,
let every instrument and voice
peal out the praise of grace abounding,
calling the whole world to rejoice.
Trumpets and organs set in motion
such sounds as make the heavens ring:
all things that live in earth and ocean,
make music for your mighty King.
3 Rivers and seas and torrents roaring,
honor the Lord with wild acclaim;
mountains and stones, look up adoring
and find a voice to praise his name.
Righteous, commanding, ever glorious,
praises be his that never cease:
just is our God, whose truth victorious
establishes the world in peace.
