Lord, Thou Hast Favor Shown Thy Land

lyricist: The Psalter, 1912
Composer: William Bradbury (1816–1868)

Lord

Thou hast fa­vor shown Thy land

Restored again thy cap­tive band;

Thy peo­ple’s sins Thou par­doned hast

And all their guilt has co­vered o’er

Removed from them Thy an­ger sore

All Thy fierce wrath be­hind Thee cast.

In grace Thy peo­ple

Lord

re­turn

No long­er let Thy an­ger burn;

Wilt Thou for­ev­er an­gry be?

Through ag­es shall Thy wrath sur­vive?

Wilt Thou not us again re­vive

That so we may re­joice in Thee?

O Lord

to us Thy mer­cy show

And Thy sal­va­tion now be­stow;

We wait to hear what God will say;

Peace to His peo­ple He will speak

And to His saints

but let them seek

No more in fol­ly’s path to stray.
