Soul Satisfaction

orchidee



Tune: Sharpethorne

('What does the Lord require?')

Psalm 107 v.1-9

*********

O give thanks to the LORD

He is good, true His word

His mercy endures e'er

It comes to an end ne'er

Let His redeemed ones say

He has saved us today

 

Redeemed from out the hand

Of enemies, we stand

Gathered from all the lands

East, west, north, south, in bands

Though one time they wandered

Comfort then not conferred

 

They in the wilderness

Lonely, hungry no less

And thirsty, soul fainted

Their joy all deflated

Then they to the LORD cried

With them He did reside

 

They cried in their trouble

LORD, deliver us all

He out of their distress

Took them, and did them bless

O that people would praise

The LORD, His name upraise!

 

For He does satisfy

The longing soul, He nigh

Shows His goodness, His deeds

Comes to us, meets our needs

Fills the hungry soul, He

Does provide for them, see
