O Wherefore Hast Thou Cast Us Off?
Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5508 Meter: 8.6.8.6 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 Thine own fold,
The sheep of Thine own fold?
2. Remember Thy inheritance,
Thy Church, redeemed by grace;
Remember Zion’s mount profaned,
Thine ancient dwelling place,
Thine 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 Thine almighty hand,
With Thine 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.
9. Withy mighty arm thou didst destroy
The pride of boastful man,
And for Thy people made a path
Where mighty waters ran.
10. The day is Thine, and Thine the night,
And Thine the shining sun;
At Thy command the earth’s bounds are set
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.
12. Fulfill, O Lord, Thy covenant,
Our strong protector be,
For in the earth are dark abodes
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. Scripture: Psalm 74 Languages: English Tune Title: LEAF
O Wherefore Hast Thou Cast Us Off?
O Why Should Gloomy Thoughts Arise?
Author: Thomas Hastings Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5513 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: O why should gloomy thoughts arise Lyrics: 1. O why should gloomy thoughts arise,
And darkness fill the mind;
Why should that bosom heave with sighs,
And yet no refuge find?
2. Hast thou not heard of Gilead’s balm—
The great Physician there,
Who can thy slavish fear disarm,
And save thee from despair?
3. Remain not overwhelmed with grief,
And filled with sore dismay,
Nor looking downward for relief,
Without one cheering ray:
4. Lift up thy streaming eyes to Heaven,
The great Atonement see;
And all thy sins shall be forgiven;
Believe, and thou art free.
5. For thee the Savior suffered shame,
And shed His precious blood:
Believe, believe in Jesus’ name,
And be at peace with God. Languages: English Tune Title: LONDON NEW
O Why Should Gloomy Thoughts Arise?
O Why So Far Removed?
Author: Unknown Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5529 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: O why so far removed, O Lord Lyrics: 1. O why so far removed, O Lord,
And why so distant be;
Why hidest Thou Thy face from us
In our anxiety?
2. The wicked in unholy pride
The lowly poor oppress;
Let them be taken in the snare
Of their own craftiness.
3. The wicked in his arrogance
Refuses God to fear,
Nor is it in his thoughts at all
The sovereign God to hear.
4. His ways are grievous and Thy laws
Too high for him to see;
He therefore his defiance bids,
And taunts his enemy.
5. For he within his heart has said,
I suffer no distress,
Adversity comes not to me,
I still have had success.
6. In cursing and deceit and fraud
His tongue is ever skilled;
With festering iniquity
His mouth is ever filled.
7. He lurks in village hiding place,
And in dark corners bent,
He watches for the humble poor,
To seize the innocent.
8. In stealth he cowers covertly
As lion in his lair,
That he may pounce upon the poor,
And catch him in his snare.
9. He crouches low so that the poor
To his strong friends may fall,
And tells himself that God forgets
Or sees it not at all.
10. Arise, O Lord, and lift Thy hand,
The poor in memory keep.
How can the wicked blaspheme God
And say He is asleep?
11. For surely Thou dost see, O Lord,
Dost see the sin and spite;
And when the helpless look to Thee
Thou dost their wrong requite.
12. Break Thou the force of evil men,
Befriend the fatherless,
Trace out the wicked everywhere,
Uproot their wickedness.
13. The Lord our God is sovereign still,
The heathen all are slain.
Thou, Lord, hast heard the suppliant’s prayer
And dost his heart sustain.
14. No more shall boasting arrogance
Or taunting pride oppress;
The poor and orphaned Thou wilt hear
And judge with righteousness. Languages: English Tune Title: SAWLEY
O Why So Far Removed?
One Who Is All Unfit to Count
Author: Narayan Tilak, 1861-1919; Nicol Macnicol, 1870-1952 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5531 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. One who is all unfit to count
As scholar in Thy school,
Thou of Thy love hast named a friend
O kindness wonderful!
2. So weak I am, O gracious Lord,
So all unworthy Thee,
That even the dust upon Thy feet
Outweighs me utterly.
3. Thou dwellest in unshadowed light,
All sin and shame above
That Thou shouldst bear our sin and shame,
How can I tell such love?
4. Ah, did not He the heavenly throne
A little thing esteem,
And not unworthy for my sake
A mortal body deem?
5. When in His flesh they drove the nails,
Did He not all endure?
What name is there to fit a life
So patient and so pure?
6. So, love itself in human form,
For love of me He came;
I cannot look upon His face
For shame, for bitter shame.
7. If there is aught of worth in me
It comes from Thee alone;
Then keep me safe, for so, O Lord,
Thou keepest but Thine own. Languages: English Tune Title: WIGTOWN

O Zion, When Thy Savior Came
Author: Edward Denny Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5552 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. O Zion, when thy Savior came
In grace and love to thee,

Messiah, shall be thine.

Of Jesus and His bride,
Shalt sound His grace and glory forth
To all the earth beside.

O Zion! yet shall throng;
And all the listening islands wait
To catch the joyful song.

Through earth and Heaven above,
And all His ransomed people know
The Sabbath of His love. Languages: English Tune Title: YORK

O Zion, Open Wide Thy Gates
Author: Jean B. Santeuil; Edward Caswall Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5553 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. O Zion, open wide thy gates,
Let priest and victim, both in one,
The truth Himself, is here.
2. No more the simple flock shall bleed;
Behold, the Father’s Son
Himself to His own altar comes
For sinners to atone.
3. Conscious of hidden deity,
The lowly virgin brings
Her newborn babe, with two young doves,
Her humble offerings.
4. The agèd Simeon sees at last
His Lord, so long desired,
And Anna welcomes Israel’s hope,
With holy rapture fired.
5. But silent knelt the mother blest
Of the yet silent Word,
And pondering all things in her heart,
With speechless praise adored.
6. All glory to the Father be,
All glory to the Son,
All glory, Holy Ghost, to Thee,
While endless ages run. Languages: English Tune Title: BANGOR
O Zion, Open Wide Thy Gates
A Perfect Path of Purest Grace
Author: Wylie Macleod Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5586 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. A perfect path of purest grace,
Unblemished and complete,
Was Thine, Thou spotless Nazarite,
Pure, even to the feet.
2. Thy stainless life, Thy lovely walk,
In every aspect true,
From the defilement all around,
No taint of evil drew.
3. No broken service, Lord was Thine,
No change was in Thy way;
Unsullied in Thy holiness,
Thy strength knew no decay.
4. The vow was on Thee—Thou didst come,
To yield Thyself to death;
And consecration marked Thy path,
And spoke in every breath.
5. Morning by morning Thou didst wake,
Amidst this poisoned air;
Yet no contagion touched Thy soul,
No sin disturbed Thy prayer.
6. Thus, Lord we love to trace Thy course,
To mark where Thou hast trod,
And follow Thee with loving eye,
Up to the throne of God. Languages: English Tune Title: ABRIDGE
A Perfect Path of Purest Grace
Plunged in a Gulf of Dark Despair
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5587 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Plunged in a gulf of dark despair
We wretched sinners lay,
Without one cheerful beam of hope,
Or spark of glimmering day.
2. With pitying eyes the Prince of grace
Beheld our helpless grief;
He saw, and, O amazing love!
He ran to our relief.
3. Down from the shining seats above
With joyful haste He fled,
Entered the grave in mortal flesh,
And dwelt among the dead.
4. He spoiled the powers of darkness thus,
And brake our iron chains;
Jesus hath freed our captive souls
From everlasting pains.
5. In vain the baffled prince of hell
His cursèd projects tries
We that were doomed his endless slaves
Are raised above the skies.
6. O for this love let rocks and hills
Their lasting silence break,
And all harmonious human tongues
The Savior’s praises speak.
7. Yes, we will praise Thee, dearest Lord,
Our souls are all on flame;
Hosannah round the spacious earth
To Thine adored name.
8. Angels, assist our mighty joys,
Strike all your harps of gold;
But when you raise your highest notes,
His love can ne’er be told. Languages: English Tune Title: BALLERMA
Plunged in a Gulf of Dark Despair
Praise God the Lord, Ye Sons of Men
Author: Nikolaus Hermann; August Crull, 1846-1923 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5589 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Praise God the Lord, ye sons of men,
Before His highest throne;
Today He opens Heav’n again
And gives us His own Son.
2. He leaves His heav’nly Father’s throne
Is born an Infant small,
And in a manger, poor and lone,
Lies in a humble stall.
3. He veils in flesh His power divine
A servant’s form to take;
In want and lowliness must pine
Who Heav’n and earth did make.
4. He nestles at His mother’s breast,
Receives her tender care,
Whom angels hail with joy most blest,
King David’s royal Heir.
5. ’Tis He who in these latter days
From Judah’s tribe should come,
By whom the Father would upraise
The Church, His Christendom.
6. A wondrous change which He does make!
He takes our flesh and blood,
And He conceals for sinners’ sake
His majesty of God.
7. He serves that I a lord may be;
A great exchange indeed!
Could Jesus’ love do more for me
To help me in my need?
8. He opens us again the door
Of paradise today;
The angel guards the gate no more
To God our thanks we pay. Languages: English Tune Title: NIKOLAUS
Praise God the Lord, Ye Sons of Men
A Pilgrim Through This Lonely World
Author: Edward Denny Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5599 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. A pilgrim through this lonely world
The blessèd Savior passed;
A mourner all His life was He,
A dying Lamb at last,
A dying Lamb at last.
2. That tender heart that felt for all,
For all its life blood gave;
It found on earth no resting place
Save only in the grave,
Save only in the grave.
3. Such was our Lord; and shall we fear
The cross with all its scorn?
Or love a faithless, evil world,
That wreathed His brow with thorn,
That wreathed His brow with thorn?
4. No! facing all its frowns or smiles,
Like Him, obedient, still,
We homeward press through storm or calm
To Zion’s blessèd hill,
To Zion’s blessèd hill.
5. By faith His boundless glories there
Our wondering eyes behold;
Those glories which eternal years
Shall never all unfold;
Shall never all unfold. Languages: English Tune Title: ORTONVILLE
