Author: President Davies Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #CCIX (1790) First Line: While o'er our guilty land, O Lord! Lyrics: 1 While o’er our guilty land, O Lord! We view the terrors of thy sword Oh! whither shall the helpless fly? To whom but thee direct their cry? 2 The helpless sinner's cries and tears, Are grown familiar to thine ears; Oft has thy mercy sent relief, When all was fear and hopeless grief. 3 On thee our guardian God, we call, Before thy throne of grace we fall; And is there no deliv'rance there? And must we perish in despair? 4 See, we repent, we weep, we mourn, To our forsaken God we turn; O spare our guilty country, spare, The church which thou hast planted here. 5 We plead thy grace indulgent God; We plead thy Son’s atoning blood; We plead thy gracious promises, And are they unavailing pleas? 6 These pleas, presented at thy throne, Have brought ten thousand blessings down On guilty lands in helpless woe; Let them prevail to save us too.
