(\'Come, gracious Spirit, heavenly dove\')
Psalm 16 v.5 -11
*******
The LORD He is my portion sure
My inheritance evermore
You uphold me. LORD, me maintain
Your gracious presence I do gain
The lines are fallen unto me
In pleasant places, look and see
A goodly heritage have I
This be the truth, I not deny
I will bless the LORD, He counsel
Has given me, and I fare well
My reins, conscience, do instruct me
In night seasons when it dark be
I have set the LORD before me
Always, my constant company
He at my right hand, I shall not
Be moved, so be my happy lot
My heart is glad, tongue rejoices
My flesh shall rest in hope, sure this
For you will not, LORD, leave my soul
In hell, but will deliver all
Neither will you your Holy One
Allow to see corruption, Son
Of God is He, and prophecy
Of resurrection here this be
You will show me the path of life
And lead me on it with no strife
In your presence is joy\' fullness
Pleasures for evermore, you bless
