Tune: St Hilda

('O happy band of pilgrims')

Psalm 5 v.11-12

**********

Let those that trust you rejoice

They have made you their choice

Let them shot for joy, you be

Their great defender, see

 

Let them that do love your name

Rejoice in you, the same

Yesterday, today, ever

You unfaithful never

 

You Lord the righteous will bless

Your good name they confess

With favour as a shield you

Surround them, them renew
