Psalm: If is time that Thou have mercy upon Sion, &c

O Saviour of sinners, from whom
The mind of the Godhead we know,
The season appointed is come,
Thy mercy in Sioji to show:
To visit our Church from above
Most graciously ready Thou art:
Thy Spirit of pity and love
Reveals Thy intent in our heart.

We think on her desolate stones,
Her temple in ruins that lies.
And pray with unspeakable groans,
She out of the dust may arise.
With grief inexpressibly great,
Her sinful affliction we see;
Ah, raise to her former estate.
And build her again upon Thee.
