So long an Absence from thy Face My Heart endures with Pain. 3 Temptations vex my weary Soul, And Tears are my Repast; The Foe insults without Controul, "And where's your GOD at last?" 4 'Tis with a mournful Pleasure now I think on ancient Days; Then to thy House did Numbers go, And all our Work was Praise. 5 But why, my Soul, sunk down so far Beneath this heavy Load? Why do my Thoughts indulge Despair, And sin against my GOD? 6 Hope in the Lord, whose mighty Hand Can all thy Woes remove, For I shall yet before him stand, And sing restoring Love.

O thou whose mercy bends the skies To save when humble sinners pray, All lands to thee shall lift their eyes, And islands of the northern sea. Against my will my sins prevail, But grace shall purge away their stain; The blood of Christ will never fail To wash my garments white again. Blest is the man whom thou shalt choose, And give him kind access to thee; Give him a place within thy house, To taste thy love divinely free. Let Babel fear when Zion prays; Babel, prepare for long distress, When Zion's God himself arrays In terror and in righteousness. With dreadful glory God fulfils What his afflicted saints request; And with almighty wrath reveals His love, to give his churches rest. Then shall the flocking nations run To Zion's hill, and own their Lord; The rising and the setting sun Shall see the Savior's name adored. Scripture: Psalm 65:1-5 Languages: English
