Thou hast begun to set us free, And made thy fiercest wrath abate; Now let our hearts be turned to thee, And thy salvation be complete. Revive our dying graces, Lord, And let thy saints in thee rejoice; Make known thy truth, fulfil thy word; We wait for praise to tune our voice. We wait to hear what God will say; He'll speak, and give his people peace; But let them run no more astray, Lest his returning wrath increase.

Psalm 85: O Lord, thou hast been favourable

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 85 First Line: O Lord, thou hast been favourable Lyrics: 1O Lord, thou hast been favourable to thy beloved land: Jacob’s captivity thou hast recall’d with mighty hand. 2Thou pardoned thy people hast all their iniquities; Thou all their trespasses and sins hast cover’d from thine eyes. 3Thou took’st off all thine ire, and turn’dst from thy wrath’s furiousness. 4Turn us, God of our health, and cause thy wrath ‘gainst us to cease. 5Shall thy displeasure thus endure against us without end? Wilt thou to generations all thine anger forth extend? 6That in thee may thy people joy, wilt thou not us revive? 7Shew us thy mercy, Lord, to us do thy salvation give. 8I’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. 9To them that fear him surely near is his salvation; That glory in our land may have her habitation. 10Truth met with mercy, righteousness and peace kiss’d mutually: 11Truth springs from earth, and righteousness looks down from heaven high. 12Yea, what is good the Lord shall give; our land shall yield increase: 13Justice, to set us in his steps, shall go before his face.

Lift Every Voice and Sing

Author: James Weldon Johnson, 1871-1938 Appears in 48 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 85:1-7 First Line: Lift ev'ry voice and sing Lyrics: 1 Lift ev'ry voice and sing Till earth and heaven ring, Ring with the harmonies of liberty. Let our rejoicing rise High as the list'ning skies, Let it resound loud as the rolling sea. Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us; Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us; Facing the rising sun Of our new day begun, Let us march on till victory is won. 2 Stony the road we trod, Bitter the chast'ning rod Felt in the days when hope unborn had died; Yet with a steady beat, Have not our weary feet Come to the place for which our parents sighed? We have come over a way that with tears has been watered; We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered, Out from the gloomy past, Till now we stand at last Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast. 3 God of our weary years, God of our silent tears, Thou who hast brought us thus far on the way; Thou who hast by Thy might Led us into the light, Keep us forever in the path, we pray. Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee; Lest, our hearts drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee; Shadowed beneath Thy hand, May we forever stand, True to our God, true to our native land.
