Tune: Serenity

('Immortal love, for ever full')

Psalm 85 v.9-13

*******

Surely the Lord's salvation be

Near them that fear Him, see

That glory may dwell in our land

The blessings of His hand

 

Mercy and truth, they met as one

Together, so it done

Righteousness and peace they have kissed

Each other, no joys missed

 

Truth shall spring out of the earth here

And righteousness appear

Shall look down from heaven, the Lord

Shall act true to His word

 

He shall give us that which good be

Our land shall yield freely

Her increase, righteousness shall go

Before Him, we shall know

 

It shall set us in His way sure

His footsteps evermore

It shall make plain His path before

Us, from His wisdom's store

        Such certainty is to be envied and helps all to build a positive attitude that is sorely lacking in this world. Good write Orchi.
