Lyics

Look from on high, great God, and see

Thy saints lamenting after thee:

We sigh, we languish, and complain;

Revive thy gracious work again.



To-day thy cheering grace impart,

Bind up and heal the broken heart;

Our sins subdue, our souls restore,

And let our foes prevail no more.



Thy presence in thy house afford,

And bless the preaching of thy word;

That sinners may their danger see,

And now begin to mourn for thee.
