Worthy Waiting

Fits tune: Tyrol

(\'The wise may bring their learning\')

Based on Psalm 62

********

Truly my soul upon God waits

He does see my estates

From Him comes my salvation

Open to each nation

He only is my rock, defence

My salvation from hence

I shall not so be greatly moved

He has of me approved

 

How long foes, you imagine

Mischief against each one?

You shall be slain, yes all of you

As wall, fence, that falls true

They plot and plan to good o\'erthrow

Sincerity not know

Delighting in their lies, they proud

Bless, though inward curse loud

 

My soul, only upon God wait

he will aid, not be late

From Him my expectation is

My rock, salvation, this

My defence strong, moved not am I

To you I refuge fly

God of my salvation, my rock

My glory, though foes mock

 

Trust in Him at all times, trust sure

Pour out your heart before

Him, for God is our refuge strong

Hold to Him all life long

Surely men of low degree [are] vain

And so too it is plain

That men of high degree a lie

Are, we cannot deny

 

Trust not in oppression, now cease

\'Tis not he way of peace

Become not vain in robbery

Set not on riches, see

That God has spoken, and I heard

Power is His, His word

He has declared, and too mercy

Just to each one He be
