Unto thy Zion, Lord, return

Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #CCCIX (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Unto thy Zion, Lord, return, And pardon all her crimes: Well we deserve to weep and mourn, In these distressing times. 2 Lord, hast thou bid thy gracious face From thy dear church below, Who is an object of disgrace, Deserving to be so. 3 We are like as the parched lands, And as the barren field: Where all the force of lab'ring hands but thorns and briers yield. 4 Thy gospel word is much despis'd, And held in mere disdain; The world and Satan have devis'd, To make thy gospel vain. 5 How few and feeble are thy saints, How full of doubts and fears! The world our best devotion taints, And mingles with our pray'rs. 6 And when we join to sing and pray, And wait on thee our Lord; Then Satan draws our minds away, When we should hear thy word. 7 Return dear Lord, with mighty pow'r, Thy gospel work revive; Thy dying church to life restore, In thee to grow and thrive.
