O that the Lord s salvationA
Were out of Zion comeB
To heal His ancient nationA
To lead His outcasts homeC
-
How long the holy cityD
Shall heathen feet profaneE
Return O Lord in pityD
Rebuild her walls againF
-
Let fall Thy rod of terrorG
Thy saving grace impartH
Roll back the veil of errorG
Release the fettered heartH
-
Let Israel home returningI
Their lost Messiah seeD
Give oil of joy for mourningI
And bind Thy church to TheeD
