503 Why Doth the Lord Stand Off So Far?
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.
