IV.— PSALM LXXXV.
Lord, Thou hast shower'd on Thy land
Thy favourable grace;
Thou hast brought home again the band
Of Jacob's captive race:
Thou hast forgiven Thy people's crimes
And wash'd away their sin,
From Thy fierce anger turn'd betimes,
And rein'd Thy vengeance in!
Thy favourable grace;
Thou hast brought home again the band
Of Jacob's captive race:
Thou hast forgiven Thy people's crimes
And wash'd away their sin,
From Thy fierce anger turn'd betimes,
And rein'd Thy vengeance in!
Turn us, O God that saveth us,—
And bid Thine anger cease:
Wilt Thou in wrath be ever thus,
Nor smile on us in peace?
O wilt Thou not Thy work revive,
That we may joy in Thee?
Yea, Lord, Thy constant mercy give,
And Thy salvation free!
And bid Thine anger cease:
Wilt Thou in wrath be ever thus,
Nor smile on us in peace?
O wilt Thou not Thy work revive,
That we may joy in Thee?
Yea, Lord, Thy constant mercy give,
And Thy salvation free!
