The Cyber Hymnal ‎#4046

4046. Lord, Thou Hast Favor Shown Thy Land

1. Lord, Thou hast favor shown Thy land,
Restored again thy captive band;
Thy people’s sins Thou pardoned hast,
And all their guilt has covered o’er,
Removed from them Thy anger sore,
All Thy fierce wrath behind Thee cast.

2. In grace Thy people, Lord, return,
No longer let Thy anger burn;
Wilt Thou forever angry be?
Through ages shall Thy wrath survive?
Wilt Thou not us again revive,
That so we may rejoice in Thee?

3. O Lord, to us Thy mercy show,
And Thy salvation now bestow;
We wait to hear what God will say;
Peace to His people He will speak,
And to His saints, but let them seek
No more in folly’s path to stray.
