Lyrics

Lord, Thou hast called Thy grace to mind,
Thou hast rev­ersed our hea­vy doom;
So God for­gave when Is­ra­el sinned,
And brought His wan­der­ing cap­tives home.

Thou hast be­gun to set us free,
And made Thy fierc­est wrath abate;
Now let our hearts be turned to Thee,
And Thy sal­va­tion be com­plete.

Revive our dy­ing grac­es, Lord,
And let Thy saints in Thee re­joice;
Make known Thy truth, ful­fill Thy word;
We wait for praise to tune our voice.

We wait to hear what God will say;
He’ll speak, and give His peo­ple peace;
But let them run no more as­tray,
Lest His re­turn­ing wrath in­crease.
