Tune: Everton

('Son of God, eternal Saviour')

Psalm 31 parts

********

In you, O LORD, I put my trust

I who am mere flesh and dust

Let me never be ashamed, for

I do trust you e'er for sure

Deliver me, your righteousness

Shall help me, and shall me bless

Bow your ear to me, hear my prayer

My strong rock, in you I share

 

For you are a house of defence

To save me, my refuge hence

Yes, you my rock and my fortress

You do lead me, I confess

For your name's sake you do lead, guide

From me you your help not hide

Take me from traps of enemies

You my strength who from them frees

 

I trusted you LORD in troubles

You have helped me, kept from falls

I said, You are my God always

Even unto endless days

My times are in your hand, help still

Deliver me from all ill

make your face shine on your servant

Save me here, I penitent

 

Let me not be ashamed, O LORD

For I trust your living word

And have called upon you here, see

Let the wicked ashamed be

But how great is your goodness to

Us, laid up for us anew

For those who do fear you, you show

Your goodness, they know it so

 

You shall hide them in secret place

They by faith behold your face

Shall defend them from oppression

Father, Spirit, and the Son

Blessed be the LORD, for He showed me

His marvellous kindness, He

Revealed it in a strong city

He my Lord and God e'er be

 

O love the LORD, all you saints here

Worship Him with praises dear

For He preserves the faithful sure

And does keep them evermore

He too repays the proud doers

Righteous judgements He confers

Be of good courage, the LORD shall

Strengthen your heart and hope well

            It could be a new hymn.
            I love hymns.

            There's something so awakening about them.
