For to his people he speaks peace  
And to his Saints full dear,  
To his dear Saints he will speak peace,  
But let them never more  
Return to folly, but surcease  
To trespass as before.

Surely to such as do him fear  
Salvation is at hand  
And glory shall ere long appear  
To dwell within our Land.

0 Mercy and Truth that long were miss'd  
Now joyfully are met  
Sweet Peace and Righteousness have kiss'd  
And hand in hand are set.  
1 Truth from the earth like to a flowr  
Shall bud and blossom then,  
And Justice from her heavenly bowr  
Look down on mortal men.  
2 The Lord will also then bestow  
Whatever thing is good  
50  
Our Land shall forth in plenty throw  
Her fruits to be our food.  
3 Before him Righteousness shall go  
His Royal Harbinger,  
Then * will he come, and not be slow  
*Heb. He will set his  
steps to the way.  
His footsteps cannot err.
