[Watchman] Remember, O LORD, what the remnant has borne, Strangers hold houses and the crown has been torn. Turn thou us unto thee, [Answer] Water has a price and the gate has no song, The worker bends low while the ruler does wrong. Renew our days as the days before. [Watchman] Joy left the circle and dancing wore black, Zion lies open where no pilgrims come back. Our fathers transgressed and we carry the weight, [Answer] We name our own sin at the desolate gate. Yet thy throne remains through generation and dust, So why should forgetting be stronger than trust? [Bridge] Turn thou us, unless we are wholly cast away; The book ends still waiting for the answer to stay. [Final Chorus] Turn thou us unto thee, Renew our days as the days before. Turn thou us, unless we are wholly cast away;
