Text: | O that the Lord's salvation |
Author: | Henry Francis Lyte |
Tune: | ST. ALPHEGE |
1 O that the Lord's salvation
Were out of Zion come,
To heal His ancient nation,
To lead His outcasts home!
2 How long the holy city
Shall heathen feet profane?
Return, O Lord, in pity;
Rebuild her walls again.
3 Let fall Thy rod of terror,
Thy saving grace impart;
Roll back the veil of error,
Release the fettered heart.
4 Let Israel, home returning,
Her lost Messiah see;
Give oil of joy for mourning,
And bind Thy Church to Thee.
