Help, LORD, for Men of Virtue Fail

Author: Isaac Watts, 1647-1748 Hymnal: Psalms of Grace #12b (2022) Lyrics: 1 Help, LORD, for men of virtue fail, Religion loses ground, The sons of violence prevail, And treacheries abound. Their oaths and promises they break, Yet act the flatt'rer's part; With fair, deceitful lips they speak, And with a double heart. 2 If we reprove some hateful lie, How is their fury stirr'd! "Are not our lips our own," they cry; "And who shall be our LORD?" Scoffers appear on ev'ry side, where a vile race of men Is raised to seats of pow'r and pride And bears the sword in vain. 3 LORD, when iniquities abound, And blasphemy grows bold, When faith is hardly to be found, And love is waxen cold, Is not Thy chariot hast'ning on? Have Thou not giv'n this sign? May we not trust and live upon A promise so divine? 4 "Yes," saith the LORD, "now will I rise And make oppressors flee; I shall appear to their surprise And set my servants free." Your word, like silver sev'n times tried, through ages shall endure; The men that in Thy truth confide shall find the promise sure.
