O to thy servants, Lord, return

O to thy servants, Lord, return

Published in 4 hymnals

Representative Text

1 O to thy servants, Lord, return,
And speedily relent!
As we of our misdeeds, do thou
Pf our just doom, repent.

2 To satisfy and cheer our souls,
Thy early mercy send;
That we may all our days to come
In joy and comfort spend.

3 Let happy times with large amends
Dry up our former tears;
Or equal at the least the term
Of our afflicted years.

4 To all thy servants, Lord, let this
Thy wond'rous work be known,
And to our offspring yet unborn,
Thy glorious pow'r be shown.

5 Let thy bright rays upon us shine,
Give thou our work success;
The glorious work we have in hand
Do thou vouchsafe to bless.
