Great Jehovah! God of Nations!

Great Jehovah! God of nations!

From Thy tem­ple in the skies

Hear Thy people’s sup­pli­ca­tions

Now for their de­liv­er­ance rise.

Though our sins

our hearts con­found­ing

Long and loud up­on Thee call

Thou hast mer­cy more ab­ound­ing

Jesus’s blood can cleanse them all.

Let that love veil our trans­gress­ion;

Let that blood our guilt ef­face;

Save Thy people from op­press­ion

Save from spoil Thy ho­ly place.

Lo! with deep con­tri­tion turn­ing

Humbly at Thy feet we bend

Hear us

fast­ing

pray­ing

mourn­ing—

Hear us

spare us

and de­fend.
