By your helpless infant years, By your life of want and tears, By your days of deep distress In the savage wilderness, By the dread, mysterious hour Of the insulting tempter's pow'r, Turn, oh, turn a fav'ring eye; Hear our penitential cry! 3. By your hour of dire despair, By your agony of prayer, By the cross, the nail, the thorn, Piercing spear, and torturing scorn, By the gloom that veiled the skies O'er the dreadful sacrifice, Listen to our humble sigh; Hear our penitential cry! 4. By your deep expiring groan, By the sad sepulchral stone, By the vault whose dark abode Held in vain the rising God, Oh, from Earth to Heav'n restored, Mighty, re-ascended Lord, Bending from your throne on high, Hear our penitential cry!

Whene'er the archangel's trump shall sound, To see thy smiling face; Then loudest of the throng I'll sing. While heaven's resounding mansions ring With shouts of sovereign grace.

What ringing of a thousand harps bespeaks the triumph nigh! O day, for which creation and all its tribes were made! O joy, for all its former woes a thousand fold repaid! 3 O then, what raptured greetings on Canaan's happy shore, what knitting severed friendships up, where partings are no more! Then eyes with joy shall sparkle that brimmed with tears of late, orphans no longer fatherless, nor widows desolate. 4 Bring near thy great salvation, thou Lamb for sinners slain; fill up the roll of thine elect, then take thy power and reign: appear, Desire of nations, thine exiles long for home; show in the heav'n thy promised sign; thou Prince and Savior, come!
