Psalm 38 parts
*******
I am troubled, bowed down here
Lord, come and to me appear
I go mourning all day long
Dried up now, and gone my song
Forsake me not, O Lord, save
Me, all I have you me gave
O my God, be not from me
Far, but my poor state do see
I am plagued with sickness, ill
Heal me by your grace, good will
I am weak, and feeble, frail
Yet your help to me avails
If sin be the cause, forgive
So in your sight I shall live
Strengthened body, spirit, soul
Come to me and make me whole
Though darkness seems to o\'erpower
Your light is with me each hour
Restore, heal, and set me free
That I may more Christ-like be
