A Prayer-hearing God, and the Gentiles called

Hymnal: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David #120a (1787) Topics: Summer; Summer First Line: Praise waits in Sion, Lord, for thee Lyrics: 1 Praise waits in Sion, Lord, for thee; There shall our vows be paid; Thou hast an ear when sinners pray, All flesh shall seek thine aid. 2 Lord, our iniquities prevail, But pardoning grace is thine, And thou will grant us power and skill To conquer every sin. 3 Blest are the men whom thou wilt chuse, To bring them near thy face, Give them a dwelling in thy house, To feast upon thy grace. 4 In answering what thy church requests, Thy truth and terror shine, And works of dreadful righteousness, Fulfil thy kind design. 5 Thus shall the wondering nations see The Lord is good and just; And distant islands fly to thee, And make thy name their trust. 6 They dread thy glittering tokens, Lord, When signs in heaven appear; But they shall learn thy holy word, And love as well as fear. Scripture: Psalm 65 Languages: English
