Steadfastly Settled

Tune: Serenity

(\'Immortal love, for ever full\')

Psalm 57 v.7-11

*******

My heart is fixed, it steadfast be

So said the Psalmist, see

Lord, incline our hearts that they may

Be stayed on you always

 

Temptations to distract, deceive

To turn [away], to disbelieve

In you, may come our way, but set

We our minds on you yet

 

So we awake and instruments

Use, praise, with wholesome sense

If early or later in day

To watch and seek and pray 

 

Praising you amidst the people

Of they who on you call

For your mercy reaches unto

The heavens, true are you

 

Be exalted, O God, lifted

High, and so lift our heads

If we downcast, still your glory

And power our strength be
