Thursday's Thoughts: Arise, O Lord! Lift Up Thy Hand!

 

 

 

"He (the wicked) says to himself, “God has forgotten; He hides His face and never sees.
 Arise, O LORD! Lift up Thy hand, O GOD!  Do not forget the helpless!"
(Psalm 10:11-12)

Arrayed against our church and faith,

The powers of darkness rage,

And the proud tyrants of the earth

Unholy warfare wage.

 

They say, "O God, Thou wilt not hear,

Thou, Lord will not regard"

But each dark crime is known to Thee,

And meets its just reward. 

The Father of the fatherless,

The Helper of the weak,

Thy Hand shall every wrong redress,

Thy Voice shall comfort speak.

And soon shall dawn that blessed day,

When sin and woe shall cease,

And Earth beneath Messiah's sway,

Enjoy perpetual peace.
