Lord, thou hast granted to thy land, The favors we so long implored

Verse 1

LORD, thou hast granted to thy Land, The Favours we implor'd; To Freedom Jacob's captive Race, Most graciously thou hast retor'd. Thy People's Sins thou pardon'd hast, Nor doth thine Indignation last.

Verse 2

O GOD of our Salvation turn Our Hearts to thee, to us speak Peace: Avert the Wrath our Guilt deserves, And let thy righteous Anger cease. LORD! shall thine Anger never end; But to all future Times extend?

Verse 3

Wilt thou not us revive again, And make thy People glad in thee? Shew us thy tender Mercies, LORD; Let us thy great Salvation see. In thee, our Saviour, we'll rejoice, And sing thy Praise with Heart and Voice.

Verse 4

On GOD, with Patience, I will wait; His Answer to our Pray'rs I'll hear: He, to his People, will speak Peace; I know it, therefore shall not fear. He'll comfort all his Saints who mourn, But let them not to Folly turn.

Verse 5

To all that fear his holy Name His sure Salvation's ever near; And in its former glorious State Our happy Nation shall appear: For Mercy now with Truth is join'd, And Righteousness with Peace combin'd.

Verse 6

Truth from the Earth shall spring, whilst Heav'n Shall constant Streams of Justice pour, And GOD, from whom all Goodness flows, O'er all the Land shall Plenty show'r: Before him Righteousness shall go, And we his holy Ways shall know.
