Author: Edwin F. Hatfield Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #13199 Meter: 7.7.7.7 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Lyrics: 1 Why, O God, Thy people spurn?
Why permit Thy wrath to burn?
God of mercy, turn once more;
All our broken hearts restore.
2 Thou hast made our land to quake,
Heal the sorrows Thou dost make;
Bitter is the cup we drink;
Suffer not our souls to sink.
3 Be Thy banner now unfurled,
Show Thy truth to all the world;
Save us, Lord, we cry to Thee;
Lift Thine arm; Thy chosen free.
4 Give us now relief from pain;
Human aid is all in vain.
We, through God, shall yet prevail,
He will help when foes assail. Languages: English Tune Title: HEROLD
Why, O God, Thy People Spurn?
