Tune: Webb
(\'Stand up, stand up for Jesus\')
Psalm 74 v.10-23 parts
********
O God, how long shall it be
Enemies reproach, see?
Shall they blaspheme for ever
Respect your name never?
Why do you withdraw your hand?
Stretch it out, heal our land
Come, act for us your people
We depend on you all
For you God our King of old
Let your wonders ve told
For you do work salvation
On earth, to each nation
Divided [Red] Sea by your strength
We passed over at length
Broke open fountain and flood
Your way seen, understood
Remember LORD, enemy
has reproached your name, see
The foolish have blasphemed you
With deceits and lies too
O save our souls, come help free
Your turtle-doves we be
Deliver us from wicked
That we not fear nor dread
Forget not congregation
Poor women, children, men
Let not oppressed be ashamed
They have you confessed, named
Arise, God, plead your own cause
Though enemy abhors
Show your power, victory
Grant us your sure mercy
