Appears in 68 hymnals First Line: Sure there is a righteous GOD Lyrics: 1 Sure there is a righteous GOD, Nor is Religion vain; Though Men of Vice may boast aloud, And Men of Grace complain. 2 I saw the Wicked rise, And felt my Heart repine, While haughty fools, with scornful Eyes In Robes of Honour shine. 3 [Pamper'd with wanton Ease, Their Flesh looks full and fair; Their Wealth rolls in like flowing Seas, And grows without their Care. 4 Free from the Plagues and Pains That pious Souls endure; Through all their Life Oppression reigns, And racks the humble Poor. 5 Their impious Tongues blaspheme The everlasting GOD; Their Malice blasts the good Man's Name, And spreads their Lies abroad. 6 But I, with flowing Tears Indulg'd my Doubts to rise; "Is there a GOD that sees or hears "The things below the Skies?"] 7 The Tumults of my Thought Held me in hard Suspense, Till to thy House my feet were brought, To learn thy Justice thence. 8 Thy Word with Light and Pow'r Did my Mistakes amend; I view'd the Sinner's Life before, But here I learnt their End. 9 On what a slipp'ry Steep The thoughtless Wretches go! And O that dreadful fi'ry Deep That waits their Fall below! 10 Lord, at thy feet I bow, My thoughts no more repine; I call my GOD my Portion now, And all my Pow'rs are thine.

The Church pleading with GOD under sore Persecutions

Appears in 48 hymnals First Line: Will GOD for ever cast us off? Lyrics: 1 Will GOD for ever cast us off? His Erath for ever smoak Against the People of his Love, His little chosen Flock? 2 Think of the Tribes so dearly bought With their Redeemer's Blood; Nor let thy Sion be forgot, Where once thy Glory stood. 3 Lift up thy Feet and march in Haste, Aloud our Ruin calls; See what a wide and fearful Waste Is made within thy Walls. 4 Where once thy Churches pray'd and sang, Thy Foes profanely roar; Over thy Gates their Ensigns hang, Sad Tokens of their Pow'r. 5 How are the seats of Worship broke? They tear the Buildings down, And he that deals the heaviest stroke, Procures the chief Renown. 6 With Flames they threaten to destroy Thy Children in their Nest; Come, let us burn at once, they cry, The Temple and the Priest. 7 And still, to heighten our Distress, Thy Presence is withdrawn; Thy wonted Signs of Pow'r and Grace, Thy Pow'r and Grace are gone. 8 No Prophet speaks to calm our Woes, But all the seers mourn; There's not a Soul amongst us knows The Time of thy Return. Pause. 9 How long, eternal GOD, how long Shall Men of Pride blaspheme? Shall Saints be made their endless Song, And bear immortal Shame? 10 Canst thou for ever sit and hear Thine holy Name profan'd? And still thy Jealousy forbear, And still with-hold thine Hand? 11 What strange Deliv'rance hast thou shown In Ages long before? And now no other GOD we own, No other GOD adore. 12 Thou didst divide the raging Sea By thy resistless Might, To make thy Tribes a wond'rous Way, And then secure their Flight. 13 Is not the World of Nature thine, The Darkness and the Day? Didst thou not bid the Morning shine, And mark the Sun his Way? 14 Hath not thy Pow'r form'd every Coast, And set the Earth its Bounds? With Summer's Heat and Winter's Frost, In their perpetual Rounds? 15 And shall the Sons of Earth and dust That sacred Pow'r blaspheme; Will not thy Hand that form'd 'em first Avenge thine injur'd Name? 16 Think on the Cov'nant thou hast made, And all thy Words of Love; Nor let the Birds of Prey invade, And vex thy mourning Dove. 17 Our Foes would triumph in our Blood, And make our Hope their Jest; Plead thy own Cause, Almighty GOD, And give thy Children Rest.

Thy Vengeance who can tell? 7 What Pow'r can stand before thy Sight, When once thy Wrath appears? When Heav'n shines round with dreadful Light, The Earth lies still and fears. 8 When GOD, in his own sov'reign Ways Comes down to save th' Opprest, The Wrath of Man shall work his Praise, And he'll restrain the rest. 7 [Vow to the Lord, and Tribute bring, Ye Princes, fear his frown; His Terror shakes the proudest King, And cuts an Army down. 10 The Thunder of his sharp Rebuke Our haughty Foes shall feel; For Jacob's GOD hath not forsook But dwells in Sion still.] Topics: Church destruction of enemies proceeds from thence; Church wrath against enemies proceeds thence; Enemies destroyed; Isreal saved from the Assyrians; National deliverance; Vengence against the Enemies of the Church Scripture: Psalm 76
