Prayer For Preserving

orchidee



Tune: Laos Deo

('Bright the vision that delighted')

Psalm 61

***********

Hear my cry, O God, attend to

My prayer, come and help me, do

From the end of the earth will I

Cry to you, trust you are nigh

 

When my heart is overwhelmed, lead

Me to the rock, you I need

You the rock that is higher than

I, and trust in you I can

 

For you have been a shlter for

Me, a strong tower for sure

Kept from the enemy I be

Through your mercies, I them see

 

I will abide in your tent here

Your tabernacle, it near

I will trust in shelter of your

Wings, so shall I dwell secure

 

For you, O God, my vows have heard

Did attend to every word

have given me good heritage

Shall prolong, my life, good age

 

I shall abide before you e'er

Prepare mercy, truth, it share

With me, I pray, they shall me keep

So I praise you e'er, your sheep
