“Mercy and truth are met together.” Ps. 85. 10

1 Truth and mercy meet together,
  Righteousness and peace embrace;
  Each perfection of Jehovah
  Meets and shines in Jesus’ face;
  Here the Father
  Can be just and save by grace.

2 What a field of consolation!
  Here no jarring notes are found;
  Zion has a full salvation,
  And shall all her foes confound;
  Each believer
  Has for hope a solid ground.

3 Justice has no loss sustainèd;
  Truth remains in perfect light;
  Not an attribute is stainèd;
  All in one grand cause unite;
  Savèd sinners
  Must and shall in God delight.

4 Here’s a cord which can’t be broken;
  O my soul, with wonder tell;
  God himself the word has spoken,
  Zion in her Lord shall dwell;
  And with Jesus
  Live in spite of earth and hell.

5 [O ye much-esteemèd sinners,
  Who in Jesus Christ are found,
  Rest assured you shall be winners,
  Soon with glory shall be crowned;
  And for ever
  Shall the praise to Christ redound.]
