Tune: Cruger
(\'Hail to the Lord\'s Anointed\')
Psalm 85
********
Lord, you have shown favour to
Your land, restored anew
Have brought back captivity
Of Israel, and set free
Your people, have forgiven
Their sins, wrong doings, then
Took away all your wrath. so
Your people your help know
And have turned from the fierceness
Of your anger, did bless
Turn us, O God, us restore
Grant salvation, whole, pure
And cause your anger to cease
Towards us, send us peace
Will you be angry always
With us, through all our days?
Will you not again revive
Us, so we in you thrive
And that your people in you
Rejoice again anew?
I will hear what God the Lord
Will speak, tend to His word
For He will speak peace unto
His people, even you
But let them not turn again
Unto foolishness then
Surely His salvation is
Near them that fear him, this
Be true, that glory may dwell
In our land, we shall tell
Mercy and truth they are met
Together, as one yet
Righteousness and peach have kissed
Each other, have not missed
Truth shall out of the earth spring
Righteousness, each good thing
Shall from the heaven look down
With grace, not darkened frown
The Lord shall give what good be
His favour shall we see
And our land shall yield increase
From curse shall know release
Righteousness shall go before
The Lord, He sets paths sure
And He shall His footsteps make
A way for us to take
To follow on firm, steadfast
From first step unto last
