85 (1)Psalm 85 Version 1LM
SALVATION is for ever nigh
   The souls that fear and trust the Lord;
And grace descending from on high,
    Pardon and glory shall afford.
 
2  Mercy and truth on earth are met,
    Since Christ the Lord came down from Heaven;
By His obedience, so complete,
    Justice is pleased and peace is given.
 
3  Now truth and righteousness may live,
    And faith shall dwell on earth again;
And every blessing God shall give
    To all who yield to Jesus’ reign.
 
4  His righteousness is gone before,
    To give us access to our God;
Our wandering feet shall stray no more,
    But mark His steps, and keep His road.
 
Isaac Watts, 1674-1748‡
