There shall our vows be paid;
Thou hast an ear when sinners pray,
All flesh shall seek thine aid.
2 Lord, our iniquities prevail,
But pardoning grace is thine,
And thou will grant us power and skill
To conquer every sin.
3 Blest are the men whom thou wilt chuse,
To bring them near thy face,
Give them a dwelling in thy house,
To feast upon thy grace.
4 In answering what thy church requests,
Thy truth and terror shine,
And works of dreadful righteousness,
Fulfil thy kind design.
5 Thus shall the wondering nations see
The Lord is good and just;
And distant islands fly to thee,
And make thy name their trust.
6 They dread thy glittering tokens, Lord,
When signs in heaven appear;
But they shall learn thy holy word,
And love as well as fear. Scripture: Psalm 65 Languages: English
