Tune: Corpus Christi

('Jesus in thy dear Sacrament')

Psalm 90 v.12-17

*********

Teach us, LORD, to number our days

To follow you always

That we our hearts to wisdom turn

And so of you we learn

 

Return, LORD, and have compassion

See us all here, each one

How long shall it be, remember

Unto us again stir

 

O satisfy us early here

May your mercy appear

That we may rejoice and be glad

All our days, not e'er sad

 

Make us glad we pray, according

To troubles you did bring

And the evils of affliction

Seen by us, each have some

 

Let your works unto your servants

Bee seen, and they you sense

Show your glory and beauty bright

Of everlasting light

 

Establish our works firm and sure

They shall last evermore

By your good hand upholding all

Help us trust, we not fall

 

So here in man's life, mortal, small

Compared to you, o'er all

You do live and reign, yet are nigh

And hear our prayer and cry
