Thou hast not Lord been slack | B |
Thou hast from hard Captivity | A |
Returned Jacob back | B |
Th' iniquity thou didst forgive | C |
That wrought thy people woe | D |
And all their Sin that did thee grieve | E |
Hast hid where none shall know | D |
Thine anger all thou hadst remov'd | F |
And calmly didst return | G |
From thy fierce wrath which we had prov'd | F |
Far worse then fire to burn | G |
God of our saving health and peace | H |
Turn us and us restore | I |
Thine indignation cause to cease | H |
Toward us and chide no more | I |
Wilt thou be angry without end | J |
For ever angry thus | K |
Wilt thou thy frowning ire extend | J |
From age to age on us | K |
Wilt thou not turn and hear our voice | L |
And us again revive | M |
That so thy people may rejoyce | L |
By thee preserv'd alive | M |
Cause us to see thy goodness Lord | N |
To us thy mercy shew | O |
Thy saving health to us afford | N |
And lift in us renew | O |
And now what God the Lord will speak | P |
I will go strait and hear | Q |
For to his people he speaks peace | L |
And to his Saints full dear | R |
To his dear Saints he will speak peace | L |
But let them never more | I |
Return to folly but surcease | L |
To trespass as before | I |
Surely to such as do him fear | R |
Salvation is at hand | S |
And glory shall ere long appear | R |
To dwell within our Land | S |
Mercy and Truth that long were miss'd | T |
Now joyfully are met | U |
Sweet Peace and Righteousness have kiss'd | T |
And hand in hand are set | U |
Truth from the earth like to a flowr | R |
Shall bud and blossom then | V |
And Justice from her heavenly bowr | R |
Look down on mortal men | V |
The Lord will also then bestow | D |
Whatever thing is good | W |
Our Land shall forth in plenty throw | D |
Her fruits to be our food | X |
Before him Righteousness shall go | D |
His Royal Harbinger | R |
Then will he come and not be slow | D |
His footsteps cannot err | R |
