The Day And Night Are Thine
Psalm 74
Dwight Armstrong

The fount and flood were cleft by Thee, the mighty streams were dried.
The day and night are Thine, and Thou didst light and sun provide.
By Thee the borders of the earth were settled so to be;
The summer and the winter, Lord created were by Thee.

That foolish people have blasphemed Thy Name Eternal God;
That spiteful foes have Thee reproached in memory record.
Leave not Thy dove unto the multitude of wicked men;
The congregation of Thy poor, forget not to the end.

Lord, to Thy cov'nant have respect; because in ev'ry clime
Are earth's dark places filled with homes of cruelty and crime.
Let not all those who are oppressed return again with shame;
Let those who poor and needy are give praises to Thy Name.
