Tune: Westminster Abbey
(\'Christ is made the sure foundation\')
Psalm 61 parts
*********
Hear my cry, O God, hear my prayer
I will trust that you are near
From the end of the earth I call
Unto you, O hear us all
When my heart it overwhelmed is
I safe in you, sure is this
You are the rock higher than I
You my shelter ever nigh
And strong tower from enemy
I shall not defeated be
Here I will abide, your presence
Shall ever lead, guide me hence
I will in your tabernacle
Remain, there I shall not fall
And trust in cover of your wings
Unto you my tongue still sings
For you, O God, have my prayers heard
Tended to my every word
So bless us, people and nation
To all show your salvation
Unto rulers grant truth, mercy
Which may keep them constantly
Thus for your graces we praise you
Hear us, help us, us renew
