Psalm 80 O Hear Our Cry, O Lord

1.  O hear our cry, O Lord;
    Now hear us as we pray.
    You guide us as a shepherd leads,
    So keep us in Your way.
    O come, Lord, come, 
    Restore and save us now.

2.  Enthroned above all worlds,
    You shine with holy light.
    Lord, pour Your power upon us all
    And save us with Your might.
    O come, Lord, come,
    Restore and save us now.

3.  O Lord, the God of Hosts,
    Turn not Your face away.
    Our tears have been both food and drink,
    Foes mock us night and day.
    O come, Lord, come,
    Restore and save us now.

4.  O Lord, our God, return;
    Bring peace into each home.
    So let Your face shine on us all, 
    Restore us as Your own.
    O come, Lord, come,
    Restore and save us now.
