Author: Rev. H. F. Lyte Meter: 7.6 Appears in 131 hymnals First Line: Oh, that the Lord's salvation Lyrics: 1 Oh, that the Lord's salvation
Were out of Sion 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: Missions For the Jews Used With Tune: [Oh, that the Lord's salvation]
