forgive our foolish ways.
Re-clothe us in our rightful mind,
in purer lives thy service find,
in deeper reverence, praise,

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,
O still, small voice of calm,
O still, small voice of calm. Topics: Call and Vocation; Forgiveness; Lent (season); Peace of God Languages: English Tune Title: REPTON

And where the promise of his grace."

And let thy sov'reign pow'r reprieve,

Return dismay'd with endless shame,
While heathens, who by thy grace despise
Shall from thy vengeance learn thy name.

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.

Behold, O God, how heathen Hosts
Hymnal: A New Version of the Psalms of David #LXXIX (1760) Scripture: Psalm 79 Lyrics: 1 Behold, O God, how heathen Hosts
have thy Possession seiz'd!
Thy sacred House they have defil'd,
thy holy City raz'd!
2 The mangled Bodies of thy Saints,
abroad unburied lay;
Their Flesh expos'd to savage Beasts,
and rav'nous Birds of Prey.
3 Quite thro' Jerus'lem was their Blood
like common Water shed;
And none were left alive to pay
last Duties to the Dead.
4 The neighb'ring Lands our small Remains
with loud Reproaches wound;
And we a laughing Stock are made
to all the Nations round.
5 How long wilt Thou be angry, Lord,
must we for ever mourn;
Shall thy devouring jealous Rage,
like Fire for ever burn?
6 On foreign Lands that know not Thee,
thy heavy Vengeance show'r;
Those sinful Kingdoms let it crush,
that have not own'd thy Pow'r.
7 For their devouring Jaws have prey'd
on Jacob's chosen Race;
And to a barren Desart turn'd
their fruitful Dwelling-place.
8 O think not on our former Sins,
but speedily prevent
The utter Ruin of thy Saints,
almost with Sorrow spent.
9 Thou God of our Salvation, help,
and free our Souls from Blame;
So shall our Pardon and Defence
exalt thy glorious Name.
10 Let Infidels, that scoffing say,
"where is the God they boast?"
In Vengeance for thy slaughter'd Saints,
perceive Thee to their Cost.
11 lord, hear the sighing Pris'ner Moans,
thy saving Pow'r extend;
Preserve the Wretches doom'd to die,

12 On them, who us oppress, let all

Make their Confusion seven times more
than what on us they laid.

O God, the Gentiles do invade
Author: J. H. Hymnal: The Whole Book of Psalms #LXXIX (1790) Scripture: Psalm 79 Lyrics: 1 O God, the Gentiles do invade
thy heritage to spoil;
Jerusalem an heap is made,
thy temple they defile:
2 The bodies of thy saints most dear
abroad to birds they cast,
The flesh of them that do thee fear,
the beasts devour and waste.
3 Their blood throughout Jerusalem
as water spilt they have,
So that there is not one of them
to lay their dead in grave.
4 Thus are we made a laughing-stock
almost the world throughout,
The enemies at us do mock,
who dwell our coasts about.
5 How long, O Lord, wilt thou retain
thy anger and thy rage?
And shall thy wrath and jealousy
not any more asswage?
6 Upon those people pour the same,
who did thee never know,
The realms which call not on thy Name
consume and overthrow:
7 For they have got the upper hand,
and Jacob's seed destroy'd,
His habitation and his land
they have laid waste and void.
8 Bear not in mind our former faults,
with speed some pity show;
And aid us, Lord, in our assaults,
for we are weak and low.
The Second Part.
9 O God, that giv'st all health and grace,
on us declare the same;
Weigh not our works, our sins efface,

10 Why should the wicked thus alway

In thy reproach rejoice and say,
Where is their God become?
11 Requite, O Lord, as thou seest good
before our eyes in sight
Of all these folk thy servants blood,
which they spilt in despite;
12 Receive into thy sight in haste
the clamours, grief, and wrong,
Of such as are in prison cast,
and bound in irons strong;
13 Thy force and strength to celebrate,
Lord, set them out of band,
Who unto death are destinate,
and in their foes strong hand:
14 The nations, which have been so bold
as to blaspheme thy Name,
Into their laps do thou sev'n-fold
repay again the same.
15 So we thy flock and pasture-sheep
will praise thee evermore,
And teach all ages how to keep
for thee like praise in store. Languages: English
