Psalm 65 (Version 3, Part 1)

Praise waits in Sion, Lord, for thee;

There shall our vows be paid:

Thou hast an ear when sinners pray,

All flesh shall seek thine aid.

Lord, our iniquities prevail,

But pardoning grace is thine,

And thou wilt grant us power and skill

To conquer every sin.

Bless'd are the men whom thou wilt choose

To bring them near thy face,

Give them a dwelling in thine house

To feast upon thy grace.

In answering what thy church requests

Thy truth and terror shine,

And works of dreadful righteousness

Fulfil thy kind design.

Thus shall the wondering nations see

The Lord is good and just;

And distant islands fly to thee,

And make thy Name their trust.

They dread thy glittering tokens, Lord,

When signs in heaven appear;

But they shall learn thy holy word,

And love as well as fear.
