Parts of Psalms 121 to 126

*********

The Lord is your keeper, protector He

Shall keep you here daily

Shall keep you here daily

He be your shade, defend from harm

Gives peace, comfort, and calm

Gives peace, comfort, and calm

Gives peace, gives peace, comfort, and calm

 

We pray for peace of His city

Jerusalem it be

Jerusalem it be

They shall prosper who love the place

Where He dwells by His grace

Where He dwells by His grace

Where He dwells, where He dwells by His grace

 

Our soul is escaped from enemies

Snares, traps set as they please

Snares, traps set as they please

But they are broken, we fly free

As birds fly gracefully

As birds fly gracefully

As birds, as birds fly gracefully

 

They that trust in the Lord are so

As Mount Zion, they know

As Mount Zion, they know

That they cannot be removed for

They abide evermore

They abide evermore

They abide, they abide evermore

 

As mountains round His city be

So the Lord He is, see

So the Lord he is, see

Round about His people for e\'er

Departing from them ne\'er 

Departing from them ne\'er

Departing, departing from them ne\'er

 

The Lord has done for us great things

Make music, each one sings

Make music, each one sings

Of His salvation to us, we

Are glad and thankful be

Are glad and thankful be

Are glad, are glad and thankful be
