Lord, Thou Hast Greatly Blessed Our Land

Verse 1

Lord, Thou hast greatly blessed our land, Thou hast brought back our captive band, Thy pardoning grace has made us free And covered our iniquity.

Verse 2

O Thou, Who in a former day Didst turn Thy dreadful wrath away, In grace Thy people, Lord, return, And let Thy wrath no longer burn.

Verse 3

O will Thy anger never cease, Forever shall Thy wrath increase? Revive and quicken us once more, And Thy salvation's joy restore.

Verse 4

To us Thy mercy now afford And show us Thy salvation, Lord; Yea, Thou wilt answer us in peace, If from our folly we will cease.

Verse 5

The Lord's salvation will appear To men of faith and godly fear, And glory in our land shall dwell When we shall heed God's precepts well.

Verse 6

Now truth agrees with mercy mild, Now law and peace are reconciled; Behold the truth from earth arise, With justice shining from the skies.

Verse 7

The Lord will send His blessing down, And harvests all our land shall crown; Before Him righteousness abides, And in His steps our feet He guides.
