Psalms 85:1-13
-
[Psa 85:1] Lord, Thou Hast Greatly Blessed Our Land
Lord, Thou hast greatly blessed our land,
Thou hast brought back our captive band,
Thy pardoning grace has made us free
And covered our iniquity.O Thou, who in a former day
Didst turn Thy dreadful wrath away,
In grace Thy people, Lord, return,
And let Thy wrath no longer burn.O will Thine anger never cease,
Forever shall Thy wrath increase?
Receive and quicken us once more,
And Thy salvation’s joy restore.To us Thy mercy now afford
And show us Thy salvation, Lord;
Yea, Thou wilt answer us in peace,
If from our folly we will cease.The Lord’s salvation will appear
To men of faith and godly fear,
And glory in our land shall dwell
When we shall heed God’s precepts well.Now truth agrees with mercy mild,
Now law and peace are reconciled;
Behold the truth from earth arise,
With justice shining from the skies.The Lord will send His blessing down,
And harvests all our land shall crown;
Before Him righteousness abides,
And in His footsteps our feet He guides.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Psa 85:6] Change Your Church, O God, To Be
Change your church, O God to be
More the church you long to see,
More the people you have claimed,
More the children you have named!
Change your Church! Renew us, Lord,
Till we all reflect your Word!
Make of us a shining light
Ever pleasing in your sight!God, revive us by your love;
Send your Spirit to reprove!
Take away sin’s awful blight,
Help us all to do the right!
Cultivate us, God, so we,
Grafted to your vine, may be,
Thriving best, within your care,
Blossoming, your love to share.God, review our urgent schemes!
Guide our vision, mold our dreams!
As we, toward your future move,
All our being, God, improve!
May we, by Christ’s love, be warmed!
Bless your church, by faith reformed;
Hastened by your Spirit’s pace:
God renew us by your grace.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Psa 85:6] For A Worldwide Revival
For a worldwide revival,
Blessèd Master, we pray.
Let the pow’r of the Highest
Be upon us today;
For this world, dearly purchased
By the blood of God’s Son,
Back from Satan’s dominion
And from sin must be won.Refrain
Send the power, O Lord,
Send the power, O Lord.
Send the Holy Ghost power;
Let it now be outpoured.
Send it surging and sweeping
Like the waves of the sea.
Send a worldwide revival,
And begin it in me.Send the “showers of blessing,”
As declared in Thy Word,
Let the “Spirit of promise”
On all flesh be outpoured;
Send the “latter rain” on us,
Till the land overflows,
Till the desert, rejoicing,
Blossoms forth as the rose.Refrain
There’s a “sound of a going
In the mulberry trees,”
News of nations awaking
Borne upon ev’ry breeze;
For the prayers of His children,
God in mercy doth own.
The revival’s beginning,
And the power’s coming down.Refrain

Oh, restore us; make us whole!God, refresh your whole creation!
Timeless is salvation’s role!
Grant us boundless celebration!

[Psa 85:6] O For That Flame Of Living Fire
O for that flame of living fire,
Which shone so bright in saints of old!
Which bade their souls to Heav’n aspire,
Calm in distress, in danger bold.Where is that Spirit, Lord, which dwelt
In Abraham’s breast, and sealed him Thine?
Which made Paul’s heart with sorrow melt,
And glow with energy divine?That Spirit which, from age to age,
Proclaimed Thy love, and taught Thy ways?
Brightened Isaiah’s vivid page,
And breathed into David’s hallowed lays?Is not Thy grace as mighty now
As when Elijah felt its power;
When glory beamed from Moses’ brow,
Or Job endured the trying hour?Remember, Lord, the ancient days;
Renew Thy work; thy grace restore;
Warm our cold hearts to prayer and praise,
And teach us how to love Thee more.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Psa 85:6] Send A Wave Of Salvation Today
We are waiting and watching, dear Savior,
For an old time revival we pray;
Thou Who hast all the floods in Thy keeping,
Send a wave of salvation today.Refrain
Send a wave of salvation, dear Savior,
Over city and country, we pray;
To redeem and restore poor lost sinners;
Send a wave of salvation today.We are praying for sinners, dear Savior,
And for sheep who have wandered astray;
Nothing, Lord, but Thy pow’r can reclaim them,
Send a wave of salvation today.Refrain
Many sad hearts are weeping in sorrow,
For the years have been squandered away;
But their tears without Christ will not save them,
Send a wave of salvation today.Refrain
In that home of the soul we have loved ones,
We’ve been lonely since they went away;
O that all may prepare to rejoin them;
Send a wave of salvation today.Refrain

With the Spirit’s quick’ning power;

Waits to drop the grateful shower.Refrain

While in simple faith we bow,
From the windows of Thy mercy
Pour us out a blessing now.Refrain

And guided our ways.Refrain

[Psa 85:7] Jesu, Show Us Thy Salvation
Jesu, show us Thy salvation,
In Thy strength we strive with Thee,
By Thy mystic incarnation,
By Thy pure nativity;
Save us Thou, our New-Creator,
Into all our souls impart,
Thy divine, unsinning nature,
Form Thyself within our heart.By Thy first blood-shedding heal us;
Cut us off from every sin,
By Thy circumcision seal us,
Write Thy law of love within;
By Thy Spirit circumcise us,
Kindle in our hearts a flame;
By Thy baptism baptize us
Into Thy all glorious Name.By Thy fasting and temptation
Mortify our vain desires,
Take away what sense, or passion,
Appetite, or flesh requires:
Arm us with Thy self denial,
Every tempted soul defend,
Save us in the fiery trial,
Make us faithful to the end.By Thy sorer sufferings save us,
Save us when conformed to Thee,
By Thy miseries receive us,
By Thy painful agony;
When beneath Thy frown we languish,
When we feel Thine anger’s weight,
Save us by Thine unknown anguish,
Save us by Thy bloody sweat.By that highest point of passion,
By Thy sufferings on the tree,
Save us from the indignation
Due to all mankind, and me;
Hanging, bleeding, panting, dying,
Gasping out Thy latest breath,
By Thy precious death’s applying
Save us from eternal death.From the world of care release us,
By Thy decent burial save,
Crucified with Thee, O Jesus,
Hide us in Thy quiet grave:
By Thy power divinely glorious,
By Thy resurrection’s power
Raise us up, o’er sin victorious,
Raise us up to fall no more.By the pomp of Thine ascending,
Live we here to Heaven restored,
Live in pleasures never ending,
Share the portion of our Lord:
Let us have our conversation
With the blessed spirits above,
Saved with all Thy great salvation,
Perfectly renewed in love.Glorious Head, triumphant Savior,
High enthroned above all height,
We have now through Thee found favor,
Righteous in Thy Father’s sight:
Hears He not Thy prayer unceasing?
Can He turn away Thy face:
Send us down the purchased blessing,
Fulness of the Gospel-Grace.By the coming of Thy Spirit,
As a mighty rushing wind,
Save us into all Thy merit,
Into all Thy sinless mind;
Let the perfect gift be given,
Let Thy will in us be seen,
Done on earth as ’tis in Heaven,
Lord, Thy spirit cries Amen!Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Psa 85:9] From Ocean Unto Ocean
From ocean unto ocean, our land shall own Thee Lord,
And, filled with true devotion, obey Thy sovereign Word:
Our prairies and our mountains, the woods and fertile field,
Our rivers, lakes and fountains, to Thee shall tribute yield.O Christ, for Thine own glory, and for our country’s weal,
We humbly plead before Thee, Thyself in us reveal;
And may we know, Lord Jesus, the touch of Thy dear hand;
And, healed of our diseases, the tempter’s power withstand.Where error smites with blindness, enslaves and leads astray,
Do Thou in lovingkindness proclaim Thy Gospel day,
Till all the tribes and races that dwell in this fair land,
Adorned with Christian graces, within Thy courts shall stand.Our Savior King, defend us, and guide where we should go;
Forth with Thy message send us, Thy love and light to show,
Till, fired with true devotion, enkindled by Thy word,
From ocean unto ocean our land shall own Thee Lord.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Psa 85:9] Salvation Is Forever Nigh
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.Mercy and truth on earth are met
Since Christ the Lord came down from Heav’n;
By His obedience so complete,
Justice is pleased, and peace is giv’n.Now truth and honor shall abound,
Religion dwell on earth again,
And heav’nly influence bless the ground
In our Redeemer’s gentle reign.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.Play source: Cyberhymnal
