Tune: Mannheim

('Lead us heavenly Father, lead us')

Psalm 119 v.17-24

********

Let your mercies come to me LORD

E'en according to your word

Your salvation residing here

Us trusting in godly fear

So shall I answer those who do

Reproach me, and I you view

 

Take not your word of truth from me

Deny it not completely

Unto me, for I have hoped here

In your judgements, they are near

So shall I keep you law ever

Continual, with  endeavour

 

And I will at liberty walk

Seek your precepts, of them talk

And of your testimonies sure

I will speak before kings, for

I will not of them be ashamed

I your promises here claimed

 

I will in your commands delight

They be pleasant to my sight

I them love, and will them follow

So I your good way shall know

I will lift m hands in praise here

Meditate on your words clear
