William Child - O Lord God, The Heathen Are Come

As sung by the Choir of St James Cathedral, Toronto in September 2019. Director of Music: Robert Busiakiewicz

Text from Psalm 79:

O Lord God, the heathen 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;
For thou art the Lord our God, and thou, O Lord, will we praise for evermore.
