Lyics

O that the Lord's salvation

Were out of Zion come,

To heal his ancient nation,

To lead his outcasts home!



How long the holy city

Shall heathen feet profane?

Return, O Lord, in pity;

Rebuild her wall again.



Let fall thy rod of terror;

Thy saving grace impart;

Roll back the veil of error;

Release the fetter'd heart.



Let Israel, home returning,

Her lost Messiah see;

Give oil of joy for mourning,

And bind thy church to thee.
