GREAT God, to Thee our song we raise, To Thee devote our grateful praise: O never may our footsteps rove From Thee the source of truth and love; cres.But may we still Thy praise proclaim, f And joy in our Redeemer's Name. 3. 2. What though the fig-tree shall decay, Though in our folds no flocks abound, TIMES OF TROUBLE. Hymn 434. DRESDEN (8787). d=88. German GREAT King of nations, hear our prayer, while at Thy feet we fall, The guilt is ours, but grace is Thine, O turn us not away, But hear us from Thy lofty throne, and help us when we pray. 2. Our fathers' sins were manifold, and ours no less we own, To Thee we looked, to Thee we cried, and help in Thee was found. 3. With one consent we meekly bow beneath Thy chastening hand, cres. Correct us with Thy judgments, Lord, (p) then let Thy mercy spare. Amen. |
