1 Once, LORD, you did favour your land,
2forgiving the guilt of your people,
3withdrawing all your fury,
4Restore us, O God our saviour,
5Will you cherish your anger against us forever,
6Will you not revive us again,
7Show us your kindness, O LORD,
8Let me hear what God the LORD will speak;
9Soon those who fear him shall see how he saves,
10Kindness and loyalty meet;
11Loyalty springs from the earth;
12The LORD shall give all that is good,
13righteousness marching before him,
