Tune: Armageddon
('Who is on the Lord's side')
**********
Psalm 124 v.6-8
Blesséd now the LORD be
We saved, enemy
Snares have not us entrapped
Our soul is escaped
As a bird we set free
Snares broken they be
By the LORD's help we be
Set at liberty
Chorus
If the LORD had not been
On our side, it seen
We would be o'ercome, lost
Great would be the cost
Psalm 125 v.1
They that in the LORD trust
Though they be mere dust
Shall be as the mount* high (*Mount Zion)
Know the LORD is nigh
Mount cannot be removed
Steadfast it has proved
Abides here for ever
Is destroyed never - Chorus
Psalm 125 v.2
As th mounts do surround
[Jeru]Salem, so is found
The LORD is round about
His people, no doubt
Round them e'en for ever
His strength fails never
Safe, assured, His presence
They may always sense - Chorus
Psalm 126 v.1-3
When the LORD did turn, see
The captivity
Of His people, then they
Were like dreams that day
Laughter and restoring
He to them did bring
The LORD's great doing shown
Unto them made known - Chorus
