Our hearts lie buried in the dust With him, so true and tender,The patriots stay, the peoples trust, The shield of the offender;Yet every murmuring voice is still,As, bowing to Thy sovereign will, Our best loved we surrender. Dear Lord, with pitying eye behold This martyr generation,Which Thou, through trials manifold, Art showing Thy salvation!O let the blood by murder spiltWash out Thy stricken childrens guilt, And sanctify our Nation! Be Thou Thy orphaned Israels friend, Forsake Thy people never,In one our broken many blend, That none again may sever!Hear us, O Father, while we raiseWith trembling lips our song of praise, And bless Thy name forever!.
