Watts: His grace

Feast of the Holy Cross
Meditation:
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne;
love and faithfulness go before you.
Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you,
who walk in the light of your presence, O LORD.
—Psalm 89:14-15 (NIV)

Quotation:
Justice and Judgment are thy throne
Yet wondrous is thy grace;
While truth and mercy joined in one,
Invite us near thy face.
... Isaac Watts (1674-1748), [1719] Psalms of David Imitated [1719], in Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs, ed. Samuel Melanchthon Worcester, Boston: Crocker & Brewster, 1834, Ps. 89, second part, p. 182 (see the book)
See also Ps. 89:7-15; 85:10; Amos 5:15,23-24; Matt. 12:7; 1 Cor. 13:6; Rev. 15:3

Quiet time reflection:
Lord, Your people pray for the establishment of Your justice among the nations.
