HYMN 19.

Come let us to the Lord our God,
⁠With contrite hearts return;
Our God is gracious, nor will leave
⁠The desolate to mourn.

Long hath the night of sorrow reign'd,
⁠The dawn shall bring us light;
God shall appear and we shall rise
⁠With gladness in His sight.

Our hearts, if God we seek to know,
⁠Shall know Him and rejoice;
His coming like the morn shall be,
⁠Like morning songs His voice.

So shall His presence bless our souls,
⁠And shed a joyful light;
That hallow'd morn shall chase away
⁠The sorrows of the night.
