Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #DXXXII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Praise to the Lord, who bows his ear Lyrics: 1 Praise to the Lord, who bows his ear
Propitious to his people's prayer;
And tho' deliverance long delay,
Answers in his well-chosen day.
2 Salvation doth to God belong;
His power and grace shall be our song;
The tribute of our love we bring,
To thee our savior and our king!
3 Our temples guarded from the flame,
Shall echo thy triumphant name;
And every peaceful private home
To thee a temple shall become.
4 Still be it our supreme delight
To walk us in thy honor'd sight;
Hence in thy precepts and thy fear,
'Till life's last hour to persevere.
