Tune: Louvan
('Lord of all being, throned afar')
Psalm 65 v.5 - 13 parts
********
By awesome things in righteousness
Will you answer us, Lord, will bless
God of our salvation you be
Confidence of ends of earth, see
And of those who dwell on the sea
Their confidence you too sure be
By His strength [He] sets fast the mountains
Hills and vales, rivers and fountains
Girded wtih power He is for
He is Almighty evermore
He stills the noise of seas, waves, calms
And brings to people's tumults balms
You tend the earth, and it water
You supply it, it does endure
The river of God flows therein
Pure as crystal, and free from sin
You the year crown with your goodness
Abundance e'en to wilderness
Little hills rejoice, pastures clothed
With flocks from your good hand bestowed
The valleys also covered are
With corn, they do reach broad and far
They shout for joy, they also sing
For gracious provision you bring
