Why Doth the Lord Stand Off So Far? (EN 539)

EN 539 Why Doth the Lord Stand Off So Far?

Ps.15.1

Versi Version 1

1

Why doth the Lord stand off so far?

And why conceal His face,

When great calamities appear,

And times of deep distress?

2

Lord, shall the wicked still deride

Thy justice and Thy power?

Shall they advance their heads in pride,

And still Thy saints devour?

3

They put Thy judgments from their sight,

And then insult the poor;

They boast in their exalted height,

That they shall fall no more.

4

Arise, O God, lift up Thine hand,

Attend our humble cry;

No enemy shall dare to stand

When God ascends on high.

5

Why do the men of malice rage,

And say, with foolish pride,

“The God of Heav’n will ne’er engage

To fight on Zion’s side?”

6

But Thou forever art our Lord;

And powerful is Thine hand,

As when the heathens felt Thy sword,

And perished from Thy land.

7

Thou wilt prepare our hearts to pray,

And cause Thine ear to hear;

He hearkens what His children say,

And puts the world in fear.

8

Proud tyrants shall no more oppress,

No more despise the just;

And mighty sinners shall confess

They are but earth and dust.
