Author: C. F. Hymnal: The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 #201b (1894) Meter: 8.7 Lyrics: 1 Dread Jehovah, God of nations,
From Thy temple in the skies,
Hear Thy people's supplications.
Now for their deliverance rise.
2 Lo, with deep contrition turning,
Humbly at Thy feet we bend;
Hear us, fasting, praying, mourning;
Hear us, spare us, and defend.
3 Though our sins, our hearts confounding,
Long and loud for vengeance call,
Thou hast mercy more abounding,
Jesus' blood can cleanse them all.
4 Let that love veil our transgression;
Let that blood our guilt efface:
Save Thy people from oppression,
Save from spoil Thy holy place.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: [Dread Jehovah, God of nations]
