(\'Christian, dost thou see them?\')
Psalm 116 v.1-9
*********
I love the Lord, for He
Did come to help me
Heard my supplication
In tribulation
Because He has inclined
His ear to me, find
I my relief, shall call
On Him my life all
Sorrows of death compassed
Me, pains of death passed
Over me, and trouble
I found, prone to fall
Then called I on the name
Of the Lord, the same
Beseeched Him to me save
And so thanks I gave
Gracious is the Lord, He
Also righteous be
Our God, He merciful
Preserves the humble
I was brought low, and He
Saved me, and helped me
Return to your rest, soul
The Lord makes you whole
He dealt bountifully
With my soul, I see
He saved my soul from death
Still gives me my breath
Dried my tears when I wept
My pathway has kept
I will walk with Him, sing
In land of living
