Tune: Laudate Dominum
('O praise ye the Lord')
********
Psalm 84 v. 1-3
How amiable you tabernacles
My soul longs, e'en faints for them, to you calls
My heart and flesh for you, living God, cry out
And birds have found nest in your house, true, no doubt
Psalm 84 v.9-10
Behold, O God, you are our shield, look on
The face of your anointed, he your Son
For a day in you courts better than thousand
Elsewhere, door-keeper there I would gladly tend
Psalm 85 v.6-7
Revive us again, so we your people
May rejoice in yu, and witness to all
That pleas for mercy you will hear, it us show
O LORD, and sure your salvation shall we know
Psalm 85 v.10-11
Mercy and truth, met together they be
Righteousness, peace, kissed each other freely
Truth shall spring out of the earth, and righteousness
Shall look down from heaven, the LORD will us bless
Psalm 86 v.6-7
Give ear to my prayer, O LORD do now hear
For you will answer, and hear my voice clear
In my days of trouble I shall call to you
Attend to me, answer, and help me anew
Psalm 86 v.10-11
For you be great, and you do wondrous things
You are God alone, each you worship brings
Teach me your way, O LORD, I will your truth seek
Unite my heart to fear your name, follow meek
