“Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause Thine anger toward us to cease.”
Psalm 85:4 (11.10.11.10. O Perfect Love)
Favour Thy land, O God of all creation,
O turn Thy fury from Thy chosen flock.
Captives of Judah, grant them Thy salvation;
Show forth Thy strength, Thou Everlasting Rock.
Oh cause Thine anger now to cease forever!
Forgive our sins and all our foolish way;
Revive Thy work, and never let us sever
From Thy dear self, O let us ever stay.
Speak peace unto Thy saints despite our failing;
Speak to us now and cause us to rejoice;
Teach us to long for blessing, on Thee calling;
Teach us to love and listen to Thy voice.
Mercy and truth, for ever met together,
Righteousness now has kissed the peace of grace.
Truth shall spring forth and bring the blessèd shower;
Then down from heaven reflect His radiant face.
Give what is good to every trembling nation,
Pity our plight without Thy living flame;
Step forth into this present generation:
Kindle a fire, revive, restore Thy Name.
