Tune: Franconia
(\'Blest are the pure in heart\')
Psalm 5 parts
*********
Give ear, O LORD, to me
My words hear, my state see
Consider my meditation
There greater than you none
To you LORD will I pray
In morning of the day
Or afternoon or evening cry
Or night-time by and by
Lead me LORD in your way
Of righteousness each day
Guard me from paths of enemies
Before you each one flees
Make your way here now straight
Before me, not mere fate
For your way be right, and I take
That route e\'en for your sake
Let all who trust in you
Be joyful now anew
Because you defend them, as shield
To them, safe in your field
