Another of the Same ❧ CM · 8·6·8·6
1 O Lord, thou favour’d hast thy land: Jacob’s captivity. 2 Thou hast brought back: thou pardon’d hast thy folk’s iniquity: thou hast close cover’d all their sin. 3 Thy wrath away all cast thou hast: from fierceness of thine ire thyself return’d thou hast.
4 Convert us back, O thou, the God of our salvation: and toward us cause thou to cease thine indignation. 5 Wilt thou be angry still with us for evermore? what shall thine anger be by thee drawn out to generations all?
6 Wilt thou not us revive? in thee thy folk rejoice shall so. 7 Show us thy mercy, Lord; on us thy saving health bestow. 8 I’ll hear what God the Lord will speak: for to his people peace he’ll speak, and to his saints: lest they return to foolishness.
9 Surely near them that do him fear is his salvation: that glory may within our land have habitation. 10 Mercy and truth do jointly meet: justice and peace do kiss. 11 Truth springs from earth: and righteousness from heaven looking is.
12 Yea what is good the Lord shall give: and yield her fruit our land. 13 Justice shall ‘fore him go: and make her steps i’th way to stand.
