Hymn 85 by Isaac Watts
Salvation, righteousness, and strength in Christ.
Isa. 45:21-25.
The Lord on high proclaims His Godhead from his throne: "Mercy and justice are the names By which I will be known.
"Ye dying souls that sit In darkness and distress, Look from the borders of the pit To my recov'ring grace."
Sinners shall hear the sound; Their thankful tongues shall own, "Our righteousness and strength is found In thee, the Lord, alone."
In thee shall Isr'el trust, And see their guilt forgiv'n; God will pronounce the sinners just, And take the saints to heav'n.
