(\'Thy hand, O God, has guided\')
Psalm 41 parts
***********
Blessed they that do help the poor
The LORD will help them sure
Will deliver them in time
Of trouble, their life\'s rhyme
Shall know His hand, His guiding
They praise to Him shall bring
He will preserve such, and will keep
Alive, His humble sheep
They shall be blessed on the earth
Who give the poor their worth
Where they can tend to needy
And have resources, see
To bring some of God\'s comfort
They needy souls have sought
Enemies shall not o\'er them win
Nor cause their fall in sin
The LORD will help us when we
In need or sickness be
Where such have looked on lowly
To aid, from burdens free
He will bring strength and healing
Restoring, we shall sing
Again of His love, mercies
With this His grace agrees
By this I know you favour
When my enemies stir
They shall not triumph o\'er me
For you my Saviour be
Blessed be your name e\'erlasting
Lord God of everything
Amen, all heaven and earth say
you reign now and alway
