Look from on high, great God, and see
Thy saints lamenting after thee;
The tokens of thy presence give,
And now thy works revive.
How did thy ancient people mourn,
And wish to see thy kind return!
They cry’d to see on Mizpeh’s plain,
“O let us see thy face again."
We join our humble voice with theirs,
And offer up our ardent pray’rs;
Lord, with thy smiles thy churches bless,
And crown thy gospel with success.
Thy cheering grace, O God, impart,
Bind up and heal the broken heart;
Our sins subdue, our souls restore,
And let our foes prevail no more.
Thy presence in thy house afford,
To ev’ry heart apply thy word;
That sinners may their danger see,
And now begin to live to thee.
