Wise Waiting

Tune: Ach Gott Und Herr

('Strengthen for service, Lord, the hands')

Psalm 62 v.5-8

********

My soul, wait you on god, for He

My expectation, hope be

I look to Him, and no dismay

Shall distract me from His way

 

He only is my rock, I stay

Here form for sure each today

He my salvation sure for e'er

And shall me forsake here ne'er

 

He my defence and I shall not

Be moved, happy be my lot

I shall not be shaken, but bide

With him, I to Him allied 

 

In God my salvation it be

And too my glory so, see

The rock of my strength, refuge too

Is in God, He me renews

 

Trust in Him at all time, people

Pour out hearts before Him, all

Good is a refuge for us, we

Wait, safe, secure in Him be
