Tune: St Francis Xavier
(\'My God, I love thee, not because\')
Psalm 119 v.146-152
*********
I cried with my whole heart, hear me
O Lord, look on me, see
I will your statutes surely keep
You take me for your sheep
I cried to you, Lord, come save me
And it shall certain be
I shall keep your testimonies
With them my soul agrees
I rose before the morning dawn
Cries of help to you borne
I hoped in your words, I awake
During night for your sake
So that I then might meditate
In your word, it be great
Hear my voice, O Lord, according
To your mercy, each thing
Revive me, bring me your justice
So I secure in this
For they draw near that mischief seek
They far from humble, meek
You Lord are near, all your commands
Are good and right demands
I have known your testimonies
Remain ever, true this
