1 Praise waits in Sion, Lord, for thee;
There shall our Vows be paid;
Thou hast an Ear when Sinners pray,
All Flesh shall seek thine Aid.
2 Lord, our Iniquities prevail,
But pard'ning Grace is thine;
And thou wilt grant us Pow'r and Skill
To conquer every Sin.
3 Bless'd are the Men whom thou wilt chuse
To bring them near thy Face,
Give them a Dwelling in thine House,
To feast upon thy Grace.
4 In answ'ring what thy Church requests,
Thy Truth and Terror shine,
And Works of dreadful Righteousness,
Fulfil thy kind Design.
5 Thus shall the wond'ring Nations see;
The Lord is good and just;
And distant Islands fly to thee,
And make thy Name their Trust.
6 They dread thy glitt'ring Tokens, Lord,
When Signs in Heav'n appear;
But they shall learn thy holy Word,
And love as well as fear.
