Serving Serenity

Tune: Gwalchmai

(\'King of glory, King of peace\')

Psalm 41 v.1 - 4 & v.11

**********

Blessed are they that help the poor

The LORD for sure

Will help them in their trouble

Deliver all

He will preserve them and keep

Alive, His sheep

Such shall be blessed on the earth

And know true worth

 

The LORD will deliver not

To enemies lot

They who help the poor, give aid

Shall be repaid

Though not for reward they give

But truly live

Desiring the LORD to please

And the day seize

 

The LORD will strengthen them when

They poorly, then

In their sick-bed, He will see

Restoring be

Will come to them and upraise

Again they praise

Him for His goodness, their health

And their soul\'s wealth

 

I said, LORD, be merciful

To my soul all

For I have sinned, but forgive

So shall I live

My enemies shall not reign

Nor scoffs* remain

You favour me, enemies

Win not o\'er me
