Author: Henry Francis Lyte Hymnal: Common Service Book of the Lutheran Church #229 (1917) Meter: 7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 O that the Lord's salvation
Were out of Zion come,
To heal His ancient nation,
To lead His outcasts home!
2 How long the holy city
Shall heathen feet profane?
Return, O Lord, in pity;
Rebuild her walls again.
3 Let fall Thy rod of terror,
Thy saving grace impart;
Roll back the veil of error,
Release the fettered heart.
4 Let Israel, home returning,
Her lost Messiah see;
Give oil of joy for mourning,
And bind Thy Church to Thee.
Amen. Topics: The Church Foreign Missions Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ALPHEGE
