(\'Now is eternal life\')
Psalm 34 v.17-22
****************
The righteous to God call
He, the Lord, hears them all
And saves them out of their
Troubles here, everywhere
He nigh to them of broken heart
To them He comfort does impart
And He saves such as be
Of a heart contritely
Many the afflictions
Of righteous daughters, sons
But the Lord saves them out of all
Their troubles when they to Him call
He keeps them safe from harm
Protects them, no alarms
Evil shall the wicked
Slay, but we not them dread
And they that hate the righteous shall
Be desolate, we can know well
The Lord redeems the soul
Of His servants, makes whole
And none of them that trust
In Him though they mere dust
None of such shall be desolate
They shall know the Lord\'s mercies great
