The Cyber Hymnal ‎#5413

5413. 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. 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,
Their lost Messiah see;
Give oil of joy for mourning,
And bind Thy church to Thee.
