Deliverance From Destruction

Fits tune: Caswall - Wem in Leidenstagen

(\'Glory be to Jesus\')

Based on part of Psalm 79 - A Lament

********

O God, we lament here

For heathen, no fear

Of you, but they plunder

Us, cut asunder

 

Theme of mourning, sadness

Come, restore us, bless

For enemies reviled

Your temple defiled

 

Here dead bodies scattered

No mercy conferred

Left unburied, birds, beasts

On them they do feast

 

Bloodshed, carnage, horror

We a reproach, slur

To ur enemies strong

Help us Lord, we long

 

Pour out wrath unfailing

Our complaint we bring

Save us from enemies

Deliver, set free

 

God of our salvation

Help us here, each one

Forgive, take sins away

Restore light and day

 

So we still your people

Shall unto you call

In your pasture us keep

We by grace your sheep
