Tune: Ode To Joy
(\'Joyful, joyful, we adore thee\')
Psalm 30 v.1-5 & v.10-12
************
I will extol you, O LORD, for
You have raised me up, \'tis sure
Not made my foes rejoice o\'er me
But your saving help I see
O LORD my God, to you I cried
You have healed me, not denied
Brought up my soul from the low grave
Kept me alive, me did save
Sing to the LORD, saints, His people
Give thanks for His mercies all
Remembering His holiness
He will look to us, us bless
His anger endures a moment
Holds it not e\'er, does relent
In His favour is life and grace
His benefits we may trace
Weeping may endure for a night
But joy comes with sweet delight
In the morning, the light does dawn
Stay not ever sad or mourn
Hear, O LORD, have mercy on me
And too my strong helper be
You have turned for me my mourning
Into dancing, praise I bring
You have put off my sackcloth dull
I rejoice with all my soul
You have girded me with gladness
Are good to me, I confess
So my tongue will sing to you praise
Not be silent, worship raise
O LORD my God, I will you give
Thanks for ever, you e\'er live
