O that the Lord's salvation

Representative Text

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

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

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

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

Amen.
