116. O that the Lord's salvation

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

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

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