O Lord, thou Judge of all the earth

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Lord, thou Judge of all the earth, To whom all vengeance doth belong, Arise and show thy glory forth, Requite the proud, condemn the wrong. 2 How long, O Lord, in boastful pride Shall wicked men triumphant stand? How long shall they afflict thy saints And scorn thy wrath, thy dreadful hand? 3 Be wise, ye fools and brutish men; Shall not he see who formed the eye? Shall not he hear who formed the ear, And judge, who reigneth, God most high? 4 The Lord will judge in righteousness, From him all truth and knowledge flow; The foolish thoughts of wicked men, How vain they are the Lord doth know. 5 That man is blest whom thou, O Lord, With chastening hand dost teach thy will, For in the day when sinners fall That man in peace abideth still. 6 Unless the Lord had been my Help, My life had quickly passed away; But when my foot had almost slipped, O Lord, thy mercy was my stay. 7 Amid the doubts that fill my mind Thy comforts, Lord, bring joy to me; Can wickedness, though throned in might, Have fellowship, O Lord, with thee? 8 The wicked, in their might arrayed, Against the righteous join their power, But to the Lord I flee for help, He is my Refuge and my Tower.

One day excels a thousand if spent thy courts within; I'll choose thy threshold, rather than dwell in tents of sin. 4 Our sun and shield, Jehovah, will grace and glory give; No good will he deny them that uprightly do live.
