Tune: England\'s Lane
(\'For the beauty of the earth\')
Psalm 144 v.11 - 15
********
Free us, Lord, from enemies
Then the people, each one sees
Your goodness, so may our sons
Grow up as plants, fruitful ones
Daughters be as corner-stones
Of palaces with their thrones
That our barns be full of store
Your provisions evermore
Enough to share with needy
And with poor of land, so be
Sheep producing thousands yields
E\'en ten thousands in our fields
That cattle be strong to bear
Farmers tending them with care
No breaking or stealing there
But with your blessing well fare
No complaining or grumbling
Thanks ot you for everything
Happy is the people who
Are in such state, you renew
Lord, them with your heavenly grace
They find favour in their place
Yes, happy that people, see
Whose God is the LORD so be (Amen)
