Hymn 47
L.M.
1. The praise of Zion waits for thee
Great God—and praise becomes thy house;
There shall thy saints thy glory see,
And there perform their public vows.

2. O thou, whose mercy bends the skies,
To save when humble sinners pray;—
All lands to thee shall lift their eyes,
And every yielding heart obey.

3. Soon shall the flocking nations run
To Zion's hill—and own their Lord;
The rising and the setting sun
Shall see the Savior's name adored.
