Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #P85a (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Thou hast been favourable, Lord,
to thy beloved land;
Jacob’s captivity thou hast
recalled with mighty hand.
2 Thou pardoned thy people hast
all their iniquities;
thou all their trespasses and sins
hast covered from thine eyes.
3 Thou hast thine anger all withdrawn,
turned from thy furiousness;
4 O God of our salvation, turn
and cause thy wrath to cease.
5 Shall thy displeasure thus endure
against us without end?
Wilt thou to generations all
thine anger still extend?
6 That in thee may thy people joy,
wilt thou not us revive?
7 Show us thy mercy, Lord, to us
do thy salvation give.
8 I’ll hear what God the Lord will speak:
to his folk he’ll speak peace,
and to his saints; but let them not
return to foolishness.
9 Surely to them that fear the Lord
is his salvation near;
that glory in our land again
a dweller may appear.
10 Truth met with mercy, righteousness
and peace kiss mutually:
11 truth springs from earth, and righteousness
looks down from heaven high.
12 Yea, what is good the Lord shall give;
our land shall yield increase:
13 justice, to set us in his steps,
shall go before his face. Scripture: Psalm 85 Languages: English Tune Title: ICONIUM
