View Lyrics
In times of old You showed Your favor, Lord,
to Jacob's line whose fortunes You restored,
for all their sins, forgiveness freely poured:
O Lord, have mercy on us forever.
Return, O God! Restore us once again!
Put off Your anger, pardon all our sin!
Will You forever with our souls contend?
O Lord, have mercy on us forever.
For grace outpoured, for lovingkindness shown,
our list'ning ears will wait for You alone.
You speak of peace, You make salvation known;
O Lord, have mercy on us forever.
The paths of truth and lovingkindness meet;
sweet the embrace of righteousness and peace.
You will restore and give our land increase.
O Lord, have mercy on us forever.
to Jacob's line whose fortunes You restored,
for all their sins, forgiveness freely poured:
O Lord, have mercy on us forever.
Return, O God! Restore us once again!
Put off Your anger, pardon all our sin!
Will You forever with our souls contend?
O Lord, have mercy on us forever.
For grace outpoured, for lovingkindness shown,
our list'ning ears will wait for You alone.
You speak of peace, You make salvation known;
O Lord, have mercy on us forever.
The paths of truth and lovingkindness meet;
sweet the embrace of righteousness and peace.
You will restore and give our land increase.
O Lord, have mercy on us forever.
