Tune: Dix
(\'As with gladness men of old\')
Psalm 119 v.169-176
******
Let my prayer come near before
You, O Lord, and hear me sure
And give me understanding
Of your wisdom in each thing
It according to your word
Which lasts ever, you are Lord
Let my prayer come unto you
Save me by your mercies true
And my lips shall utter praise
Grateful songs unto you raise
When you have taught me your ways
They shall sustain me all days
My tongue shall speak your word for
Your commands are righteous, pure
Let your Spirit come, help me
I have chose your precepts, see
Have longed for your salvation
Your laws my delight, each one
Let my soul live, it shall praise
You, and too through all my days
Let your judgements help me, say
I like lost sheep gone astray
Seek me your servant, for yet
I your commands not forget
