Compassionate Caring

Tune: St Gregory (or Irish)

(\'With glorious clouds encompassed round\')

Psalm 111

*******

O praise the Lord, I will Him praise

With my whole heart Him raise

Midst His people, holy, upright

He glorious to our sight

 

His works are great, and they are sought

Out by them He has taught

By them that have pleasure herein

His works all free from sin

 

His works honourable, glory

In each one do we see

His righteousness endures for e\'er

His wonders forgot ne\'er

 

He gracious, full of compassion

Reaches each daughter, son

He gives food unto them that fear

Him His covenant near

 

He has showed His people the power

Of His works every hour

That He may give them heritage

Of heathen of each age

 

Works of His hands are verity

Truth and judgement they be

All His commandments they be sure

Abiding evermore

 

He sent redemption to people

To those who on Him call

Has commanded His covenant e\'er

Unto us did declare

 

Holy and reverend His name

Worthy of endless fame

The fear of the Lord does become

Beginning of wisdom

 

A good understanding have they

Who do here watch, obey

All they that do His commandments

They praise Him, penitents
