O that the Lord's salvation

Verse 1

O that the Lord's salvation Were out of Zion come, To heal His ancient nation, To lead His outcasts home.

Verse 2

How long the holy city Shall heathen feet profane? Return, O Lord, in pity; Rebuild her walls again.

Verse 3

Let fall Thy rod of terror, Thy saving grace impart; Roll back the veil of error, Release the fettered heart.

Verse 4

Let Israel, home returning, Her lost Messiah see; Give oil of joy for mourning, And bind Thy Church to Thee.

Verse 5

Amen.
