A Prayer-Hearing God; and the Gentiles Called

Verse 1

Praise waits in Zion, Lord! for thee; There shall our vows be paid; Thou hast an ear when sinners pray; All flesh shall seek thine aid.

Verse 2

O Lord! our guilt and fears prevail, But pardoning grace is thine; And thou wilt grant us power and skill, To conquer every sin.

Verse 3

Blest are the men, whom thou wilt choose To bring them near thy face; Give them a dwelling in thy house, To feast upon thy grace.

Verse 4

In answering what thy church requests, Thy truth and terror shine; And works of dreadful righteousness Fulfill thy kind design.

Verse 5

Thus shall the wondering nations see The Lord is good and just; The distant isles shall fly to thee, And make thy name their trust.
