The Psalms of David ‎#85

85. Lord, thou hast call'd thy grace to mind

1 Lord, thou hast call'd thy grace to mind,
Thou hast revers'd our heavy doom;
So God forgave when Isr'el sinn'd,
And brought his wand'ring captives home.

2 Thou hast begun to set us free,
And made thy fiercest wrath abate;
Now let our hearts be turn'd to thee,
And thy salvation be compleat.

3 Revive our dying graces, Lord,
And let thy saints in thee rejoice;
Make known thy truth, fulfil thy word,
We wait for praise to tune our voice.

4 We wait to hear what God will say;
He’ll speak, and give his people peace;
But let them run no more astray,
Lest his returning wrath increase.

Part II.

5 Salvation is for ever nigh
The souls that fear and trust the Lord;
And grace descending from on high
Fresh hopes of glory shall afford.

6 Mercy and truth on earth are met,
Since Christ the Lord came down from heav'en;
By his obedience so compleat,
Justice is pleas'd and peace is giv'n.

7 Now truth and honour shall abound,
Religion dwell on earth again,
And heav'nly influence bless the ground
In our Redeemer's gentle reign.

8 His righteousness is gone before,
To give us free access to God;
Our wand'ring feet shall stray no more,
But mark his steps and keep the road.
