Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #CXXVI (1790) First Line: Salvation is forever nigh Lyrics: 1 Salvation is for ever nigh,
The souls that fear and trust th' Lord,
And grace descending from on high,
Fresh hopes of glory shall afford.
2 Mercy and truth on earth are met,
Since Christ the Lord came down from heav'n?
By his obedience so complete,
Justice is pleas'd, and peace is giv'n.
3 Now truth and honour shall abound,
Religion dwell on earth again,
And heav'nly influence bless the ground,
In our Redeemer's gentle reign.
4 His righteousness is gone before,
To give us free access to GOD:
Our wand'ring feet shall stray no more,
But mark his steps and keep the road. Topics: After Sermon Scripture: Psalm 85 Languages: English
