1 Turn us again, O Lord, our God,
And upon us vouchsafe
To make Thy countenance to shine,
And so we shall be safe.
2 A vine from Egypt brought Thou hast,
By Thine outstretchèd hand;
And Thou the heathen out didst cast,
To plant it in Thy land.
3 But now burnt up it is with fire,
It also is cut down;
And from Thy land hath perishèd,
Because Thy face doth frown.
4 O let Thy hand be still upon
The man of Thy right hand;
The Son of Man, whom for Thyself
Thou madest strong to stand.
5 So henceforth we will not go back,
Nor turn from Thee at all;
O do Thou quicken us, and we
Upon Thy name will call.
40 Turn us again, O Lord, our God
