Restoring Requests

Tune: Ratisbon

(\'Christ, whose glory fills the skies\')

Psalm 60 v.10-12 & 61 v.1-3

************

Will not you, O God, restore

Us again? We you implore

You who seemed to us off cast

Your presence with us be past

But return, O God, we pray

Help us now in troubles day

 

For vain is help of mankind

Lasting strength we there not find

But through you our God we shall

Do valiantly, fare well

For you shall our enemies

Tread down, you power all sees

 

Hear me, O God, do attend

To my prayers, your ears do lend

From ends of the earth I will

Call upon you, not be still

When overwhelmed my heart be

Your mercies shall comfort me

 

Lead me to the rock that is

Higher than I am, true this

For you have a shelter been

Unto me, my eyes have seen

And a strong tower, you keep

From the enemy your sheep
