Lyrics: Turn us again, O Lord God of hosts; show us the light of Thy countenance, and we shall be whole. O Lord of hosts, how long wilt Thou be angry with Thy people that prayeth? Thou feedest them with the bread of tears and givest them plenteousness of tears to drink. Thou hast made us a very strife unto our neighbors, and our enemies laugh us to scorn. Turn us again, O Lord God of hosts; show us the light of your countenance and we shall be whole! Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt; Thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it. Thou madest room for it; and when it had taken root, it filled the land. The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and its boughs thereof were like the goodly cedar trees. Turn us again, O God of hosts; show us the light of your countenance and we shall be whole! Turn Thee again, Thou God of hosts; look down from heaven, behold, and visit this vine. And the place of the vineyard that Thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that Thou madest so strong for Thyself. It is burnt with fire, and cut down; and they shall perish at the rebuke of Thy countenance. Let Thy hand be upon the man of Thy right hand, and upon the Son of Man, whom you have made so strong for Thine own self. And so we will not go back from Thee: O let us live, and we shall call upon Thy Name. Turn us again, O Lord God of hosts; show us the light of Thy countenance, and we shall be whole. (Psalm 80:3-10, 14-19)
