Tune: Herongate
(\'It is a thing most wonderful\')
Psalm 3 parts
*********
You, O LORD, are a shield for me
Around me your protection be
You are my glory, and you raise
Up my head, not downcast, I praise
I cried to the LORD with my voice
He heard me, so I do rejoice
From His holy hill did attend
To me and His aid did me send
I laid me down, and slept in peace
Your care for me it did not cease
Through day and night, and when awake
Again, you do no t me forsake
Salvation belongs to the LORD
And true and right e\'er be His word
His blessing on His people be
He shall them from enemies free
