Once night was turn'd to day;
And thy salvation joy restor'd,
Which I had sin'd away.
2 'Twas then I wonder'd and ador'd,
To see thy grace divine;
I felt thy love, I prais'd the Lord,
Who made such blessings mine.
3 Wilt thou not still vouchsafe to own
A wretch so vile as I?
May I not still approach thy throne,
And Abba father cry?
4 Lord, speak a gracious word again,
And cheer my drooping heart,
No voice but thine can soothe my pain,
Or bid my fears depart. Topics: Light Prayed for restoration Languages: English
