The Church Hymnary (3rd Ed.) ‎#28

28. Praise waits for thee in Zion, Lord

1 Praise waits for thee in Zion, Lord:
To thee vows paid shall be.
O thou that hearer art of prayer
All flesh shall come to thee.

2 Iniquities, I must confess,
Prevail against me do:
But as for our transgressions all,
Them purge away shalt thou.

3 Blest is the man whom whom thou dost choose,
And makest approach to thee,
That he within thy court, O Lord,
May still a dweller be:

4 We surely shall be satisfied
With thy abundant grace,
And with the goodness of thy house,
Even of thy holy place.

5 To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
The God whom we adore,
Be glory, as it was, and is,
And shall be evermore.

Amen.
