FROM THE MUSIC OF THE RUSSIAN CHURCH

Published by Novello, 1874



Mercy and truth are met together,
Mercy, mercy and truth are met together.

Righteousness and peace have kissed each other,
Righteousness, righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

Truth shall flourish out of the earth,
Truth shall flourish, shall flourish,
Truth shall flourish out of the earth,

Righteousness shall go, shall go before Him,
Righteousness shall go before Him,
Shall go, shall go before Him,
And He shall direct his going,
Shall direct his going in the way.

Alleluia, Alleluia!
Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen.
