Encouragement in Prayer

Verse 1

Lord, Thou hast favor shown Thy land, Restored again Thy captive band; Thy people's sins Thou pardoned hast, And all their guilt hast covered o'er, Removed from them Thy anger sore, All Thy fierce wrath behind Thee cast.

Verse 2

In grace Thy people, Lord, return, Nor longer let Thy anger burn; Wilt Thou forever angry be? Through ages shall Thy wrath survive? Wilt Thou not us again revive, That so we may rejoice in Thee?

Verse 3

O Lord, to us Thy mercy show, And Thy salvation now bestow; We wait to hear what God will say; Peace to His people He will speak, And to His saints, but let them seek No more in folly's path to stray.
