Tune: Abridge
(\'Be thou my guardian and my guide\')
Psalm 41 v.1-3
********
Blessed they that consider the poor
Helpless, powerless, for
The Lord will save them in their times
Of troubles in life\'s rhymes
The Lord will them preserve, and keep
Them alive, they His sheep
They shall be blessed on the earth, they
Helped needy in their day
The Lord will not give them unto
Their enemies to do
What they wish, but will His aid give
To them and they shall live
The Lord will strengthen them upon
Bed of sickness, each one
Will restore, heal, for they did care
In human need, did share
