"Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other" (Psalm 85:10). "By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil" (Proverbs 16:6).
Mercy and truth now together have met.
Righteousness also with peace reconciled.
No other mixture was ever found yet
To save us from sin or to cleanse the defiled.
Mercy and truth in our Lord are fulfilled,
For mercy embraced us and entered our strife,
And truth that demanded a Victim be killed
Was met by our Savior who laid down His life.
Mercy and truth could not compromise;
Peace was denied us, without righteousness.
But God found a way that was loving and wise
By mercy and truth in our Lord that could bless.
Mercy and truth have purged every sin.
Righteousness also has granted us peace.
Salvation in Christ has invited us in
Where praise and thanksgiving to Him never cease.
