Tune: Abridge
(\'Be thou my guardian and my guide\')
Parts of Psalms 9, 10, and 11
********
Sing praises to the Lord, sing praise
And e\'er His name upraise
He dwells in Zion, here declare
Midst peoples His deeds share
The needy shall not always be
Forgotten, but shall, see
Be helped, and their expectation
Not be desolation
Arise, O Lord, lift up your hand
To help poor in the land
Forget not the humble, but do
Come to their aid anew
Lord, you have heard humble\'s desire
You will them fresh inspire
Will prepare their heart, cause your ear
To attend and them hear
The righteous Lord loves righteousness
He shall come to us bless
He does the upright ones behold
He Shepherd of His fold
