Loving-kind Light

Tune: Stuttgart

(\'Earth has many a noble city\')

Psalm 36 v.7-12

********

How great, O LORD, and loving-kind

In large measure do we find

You to be and therefore we do

Trust \'neath your wings now anew

 

You give satisfaction, fullness

River of your pleasures bless

Us, for with you is fount of life

Here found peace, freedom from strife

 

For in your light we shall see light

All revealed clear to our sight

Continue your loving-kindness

In your mercy e\'en to us

 

And show upright your righteousness

Your goodness we shall confess

Proud and wicked shall fall, they be

Not able to rise, we see
