Tune: Abridge
(\'Be thou my guardian and my guide\')
Psalm 66 v.7-12 parts
**********
God rules by His power fore e\'er
For it decreases ne\'er
His eyes behold the nations, let
Rebellious not fret
Not exalt themselves to be proud
Nor evil to enshroud
O bless our God, you people, word
Of His praise make it heard
He holds our soul in life, safe we
Our feet not slip, so be
For you, O God, have us tested
Through troubles have us led
You have tested us as silver
Is refined, yet did stir
To bring us out to a large place
Whate\'er things we did face
