"A full anthem in 5 parts compos'd by Dr William Child in the year 1644 on the occasion of the abolishing the Common Prayer and overthrowing the constitution, both in church and state." | Lyrics: Psalm 79, v. 1,4,5,8,14.
O God, the heathen are come into thine inheritance : thy holy temple have they defiled, and made Jerusalem an heap of stones. We are become an open shame to our enemies : a very scorn and derision unto them that are round about us. Lord, how long wilt thou be angry : shall thy jealousy burn like fire for ever? O remember not our old sins, but have mercy upon us, and that soon : for we are come to great misery. So we, that are thy people, and sheep of thy pasture, shall give thee thanks for ever : and will alway be shewing forth thy praise from generation to generation. | | |
