From Sorrow To Joy

Tune: Melcombe

(\'New every morning is the love\')

Psalm 30 v.4-5 and v.10-12

***********

Sing to the Lord, you His people

And give thanks, remember you all

His holiness and purity

Nothing unrighteous with Him be

 

His anger endures a moment

But grace is to the penitent

In His favour is life, weeping

May last a night, but joy morn* brings  (*morning)

 

Hear, O Lord, have mercy on me

Be you my helper, so I see

You have turned for me my mourning

From sadness now into dancing

 

You have put off my sackcloth, for

I had worn it in sorrows sore

You have girded me with gladness

I give you thanks and you I bless

 

So then my tongue sings praise to you

Your mercies you to me renew

I not silent, but shall praise give

And thanks to you who ever live
