Tune: Heinlien
('Forty days and forty nights')
Psalm 80 v.14-19
*********
Return, O Lord God, look down
On our country, on our town
Behold, visit us, your vine
And bestow graces divine
Your hand has planted us here
In your vineyard, come, draw near
To us, for vine you made strong
For yourself, forgive our wrong
The vine it now burned with fire
We sure in a crisis dire
You look on us, we perish
If destruction is your wish
But have mercy, come, us save
Your Son for us the way pave
To salvation, so shall we
Return to you faithfully
Revive us, and we will call
On your name, and shall not fall
O Lord God, turn us again
We saved by you, Light of men* (*mankind)
