[Intro: organ enters quietly underneath] The wrath thou didst forbear so long The wrath thou didst forbear so long is come upon us in our day; we did not know the debt we owed, and find it now too great to pay. oooooh, ooooooh, oooooh, oooooh, ooooooh, oooooh, oooooh, ooooooh, oooooh, oooooh, ooooooh, oooooh, Thy mighty ones go forth in fire, they turn not back, they do not spare; and what they render is thy word, and what thy word appoints is fair. We have no lamb, we have no field, no wall, no watchman, and no sword; we have the breath thou gavest us, and give it back to thee, O Lord. And when the last of us is gone, and none is left to sing thy name, the stones shall take the singing up, and render thee the very same.
