Tune: Cruger

('Hail to the Lord's Anointed')

Psalm 86 v.1-7 & v.15-17

*********

Bow down your ear, Lord, hear me

For I poor, needy see

Preserve my soul for I sure

By you made holy, pure

O God come soon to save me

You ever my God be

Be merciful to me, for

I Lord my prayers outpour

 

I call upon you daily

My soul, make it glad be

To rejoice in you, for to

You I lift it anew

For you, Lord, are  good, ready

To forgive free you be

Plenteous in mercy to

All they who call on you

 

Give ear, Lord, unto my prayer

I trust you still are there

Attend to my voice, and hear

I here to you draw near

In th day of my trouble

I will unto you call

For you will hear, will answer

Will not for e'er defer

 

You, O Lord, are a God who

Full of compassion true

Does come to our help, and you

Are gracious, patient too

With longsuffering your bear

Us, mercy and truth share

O turn to me, have mercy

A sign for good show me

        Love it. I must say I also love when you put in a melody as it seems to make it a better read for me, too.

          Thanks Aw. It's so folk can sing them, and drown out my singing (ghastly, so I say! heehee). Sundry comments appear about my singing on this site!
