¶Lyrics / Text

Turn us, O Lord, thy face display, And grief and fear shall fly away. Beneath the terrors of thine eye, We tremble, Lord, we faint, we die. O let the man ordain'd by Thee to bring us peace and liberty, by Thee, great God, supported stand, and save, O save a sinking land. So ne'er shall vice our steps betray, again from virtue's paths to stray, but pray'r and praise thy love repay.
