(\'Now is eternal life\')
Psalm 16 v.1-6 parts
********
Preserve me, O God, keep
Watch over me, your sheep
For in you do I trust
Though I mere man of dust
Yet made in your image, likeness
Look on me, comfort me, and bless
O may soul, to the Lord
You have said, this your word
That you are my Lord, my
Goodness here by and by
Is nothing apart from you for
You the sole good one evermore
And to believers here
Your goodness does appear
You made them excellent
Salvation you them sent
My soul in you and them delights
Bring us light, banish darkness nights
The Lord my portion be
Shall satisfy for me
My inheritance too
He upholds me anew
The lines are fallen unto me
Within pleasant boundaries, see
A goodly heritage
I have, God\'s Son, the bridge
The way that man may come
To God, their heavenly home
Help us, Lord, spread the gospel free
So mankind saved eternally
