If We Have Forgotten the Name of Our God

If we have for­got­ten the name of our God

Or un­to an id­ol our hands spread abroad

Shall not the Al­migh­ty un­co­ver this sin?

He knows all our hearts and the sec­rets with­in.

Rise

help

and re­deem us: Thy mer­cy we trust;

Rise

help

and re­deem us: Thy mer­cy we trust.

We all the day long for Thy sake are con­sumed

Defeated and help­less

to death we are doomed;

Then why dost Thou tar­ry? Je­ho­vah

awake;

Nor spurn us for­ev­er; arise for our sake.

O why art Thou hid­ing the light of Thy face

Forgetting our bur­den of grief and dis­grace?

Our soul is bowed down

yea

we cleave to the dust;

Rise

help and re­deem us

Thy mer­cy we trust.
