Fools In Their Heart Have Said

Fools in their heart have said,

There is no God of might;

Corrupt are they and base their deeds,

In evil they delight.

God looked from Heav'n above

On all the human race

To see if any understood,

If any sought His face.

They all are gone aside,

Corruption doth abound;

There is not one that doeth good,

Not even one is found.

These men of evil deeds

Will they no knowledge gain,

Who feed upon my people's woes

And prayer to God disdain?

The day is drawing nigh

When they shall fear and quail

For God shall scatter and destroy

Those who His saints assail.

Yea, God will put to shame

And make them flee away,

For He will cast them off in wrath

And fill them with dismay.

O would that Zion's help

Were out of Zion come!

O would that God might early bring

His captive people home!

When God from distant lands

His exiled ones shall bring,

His people shall exultant be,

And gladly they shall sing.
