HYMN 448. (2. METRE.)

Argument.
The Church redeem'd from Captive State is glad, He prays that full deliverance may be had.

Psalm 85.

LORD thou hast dealt most favourably with Jacob's Land of late, And turn'd our sad captivity into a free estate. Unto thy people thou didst please to seal a pardon free: Their grievous sins and trespasses are covered all by thee.
Thou hast removed from the path where all thine anger lay, And from the fierceness of thy wrath, hast turn'd thy self away. Turn us, O God, our Saviour, thus with thee for to comply: And cause thine anger towards us to cease perpetually.

Page 518

Wilt thou be angry evermore and not thy wrath recall? Wilt thou draw out thy wrath so sore to Generations all? Wilt thou not quicken us again, and so far set us free, That we thy people which remain, may much rejoyce in thee?
