A A

R· Lord, let us see your kindness and grant us your salvation.


I will hear what God proclaims;
    the LORD — for he proclaims peace.
Near indeed is his salvation to those who fear him,
    glory dwelling in our land. R.
Kindness and truth shall meet;
    justice and peace shall kiss.
Truth shall spring out of the earth,
    and justice shall look down from heaven. R. 
The LORD himself will give his benefits;
    our land shall yield its increase.
Justice shall walk before him,
    and prepare the way of his steps. R.
