Church Hymn Book ‎#P.LXXXV.II

P.LXXXV.II. Salvation is for ever nigh

5 Salvation is for ever nigh
The souls that fear and trust the Lord;
And grace descending from on high,
Fresh hopes of glory shall afford.

6 Mercy and truth on earth are met,
Since Christ the Lord came down from heav'en;
By his obedience so complete,
Justice is pleas'd and peace is giv'n.

7 Now truth and honour shall abound,
Religion dwell on earth again,
And heav'nly influence bless the ground
In our Redeemer's gentle reign.

8 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.
