A Prayer-hearing God, and the Gentiles called

Appears in 63 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 65 First Line: Praise waits in Sion, Lord, for thee Lyrics: 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 will grant us pow'r and skill To conquer ev'ry sin. 3 Blest are the men whom thou wilt choose, 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.
