|
<p>O wherefore hast Thou cast us off,<br>
|
|
O God, our God of old?<br>
|
|
Why art Thou angry with Thy sheep,<br>
|
|
The sheep of Thine own fold,<br>
|
|
The sheep of Thine own fold?</p>
|
|
<p>Remember Thine inheritance,<br>
|
|
Thy Church, redeemed by grace;<br>
|
|
Remember Zion’s mount profaned,<br>
|
|
Thine ancient dwelling place,<br>
|
|
Thine ancient dwelling place.</p>
|
|
<p>In ruin long Thy temple lies;<br>
|
|
Arise, O God of grace,<br>
|
|
And see the ruin foes have wrought<br>
|
|
Within Thy holy place,<br>
|
|
Within Thy holy place.</p>
|
|
<p>Amid Thy courts are lifted high<br>
|
|
The standards of the foe,<br>
|
|
And impious hands with axe and fire<br>
|
|
Have laid Thy temple low,<br>
|
|
Have laid Thy temple low.</p>
|
|
<p>They have profaned the holy place<br>
|
|
Where Thou hast set Thy Name,<br>
|
|
The sanctuaries of our God<br>
|
|
Are given to the flame,<br>
|
|
Are given to the flame.</p>
|
|
<p>We see no signs of power divine,<br>
|
|
No prophet speaks for Thee,<br>
|
|
And none can tell, and none can know,<br>
|
|
How long these woes shall be,<br>
|
|
How long these woes shall be.</p>
|
|
<p>How long, O God, shall blasphemy<br>
|
|
And shame reproach our land?<br>
|
|
Why dost Thou not destroy Thy foes<br>
|
|
With Thine almighty hand,<br>
|
|
With Thine almighty hand?</p>
