You Were Pleased to Show Your Favor
- You were pleased to show your favor,
LORD, to your beloved land.
You returned the wealth of Jacob,
you restored his captive band.
You forgave your people’s trespass;
you were pleased their sins to hide.
You withdrew your great displeasure;
from your wrath you turned aside. - God our Savior, now restore us;
turn away from us your rage.
Will your anger burn against us?
Will it last from age to age?
Will you not again revive us,
that we may rejoice in you?
Show us, LORD, your cov’nant mercy;
your salvation grant anew. - Let me hear what God the LORD says;
to his saints he speaks of peace,
but his people must not wander
and return to foolishness.
Surely unto those who fear him,
his salvation is at hand,
so that once again his glory
may be seen within our land. - Love and truth have met together;
peace and righteousness embrace.
Righteousness looks down from heaven;
from the earth springs faithfulness.
What is good the LORD will give us,
and our land its fruit will bear.
Righteousness will go before him,
for his steps the way prepare.
