Tune: St Hugh
(\'Lord, teach us how to pray aright\')
Psalm 71 v.16-19
********
I will go in strength of the Lord
God, an will heed His word
Make mention of His righteousness
Only His I confess
God, you have from my youth me taught
Me guided and me sought
Hitherto have I declared your
Wondrous works true and pure
Now when I am old, grey-headed
\'Tis still you Lord have led
Me, forsake me not, may I show
That others you may know
May I declare your strength, power
We need such every hour
Proclaim, so each generation
Shall know it, each nation
Your righteousness, O God, is high
Great things, there no deny
That you have done and still shall do
O God, there none like you!
