Tune: Golden Sheaves

(\'To thee O Lord our hearts we raise\')

***********

Psalm 128 v.1-2

Blessed every one that the Lord fears

Who do sense His presence near

Blessed they that do in His ways walk

And of His works they do talk

They shall eat labour of their hands

What they produce from the lands

Happy shall they be, all be well

God does provide, they shall tell

 

Psalm 126 v.5-6

They that sow in tears, they shall reap

In joy, and harvest shall keep

In plenitude, share resources

From God\'s creative sources

They that go forth weeping, bearing

Precious seed, they shall plant, sing

Without doubt return rejoicing

Sheaves, fruits of labours shall bring

 

Psalm 131 v.1-3

Lord my heart not haughty, and I

Lofty things do not espy

But trusting lowly, child-like heart

I take the simple, low part

Not exercised in things too high

For me, nor great matters nigh

But my soul as a weaned child is

I hope in Him, I am His

 

Psalm 133 v.1-3

What blessings unity afford

Who are one in you, our Lord

Like ointment, Aaron\'s anointing

When oil they did to Him bring

Poured on  him and hi sons, they priests

In all their service and feasts

Unity too like dew on mount

Whence springs forth blessings true fount

 

Psalm 125 v.1-2

They who trust in the LORD shall be

As the mount Zion staid, see

Which cannot be removed for e\'er

God His presence always there

As mountains round Jerusalem

His people, th LORD round them

Is now, and evermore shall be

Even to eternity
