Tune: St Denio
('Immortal, invisible, God only wise')
Psalm 61
********
Hear my cry, O Lord God, attend to my prayer
From end of the earth I cry, know you are there
When my heart is o'erwhelmed I still to you turn
O lighten the fire there, holy passions burn
Lead me to the rock that is higher than I
My spirit takes wings and unto you does fly
For you have been a shelter safe, sure for me
And mighty strong tower from the enemy
I will abide in your tabernacle e'er
I will trust in shelter of your wings, leave ne'er
For you, O God, my vows have heard from above
Have given me heritage in your firm love
You will my life prolong, I with joyful song
Shall praise you, your mercy, your truth all along
For they shall preserve me, shall guard me, and keep
Me, so I shall daily praise you midst your sheep

Ever thought of assembling a congregation
Thanks Suresh. I'm not a Vicar/Minister/Leader though! One printing company refused my manuscript, as they were fussy. I used 'alway' poetically, instead of 'always'. That was my first and last contact with them after that pettiness. It was meant to be 'alway'. Doh!
oh what it must be.. to be overwhelmingly overcome ...
Thanks N. You overwhelmed by the wit and wisdom on this site? Staggers back in amazement?! It's educational on 'ere, we know!
