Hear And Help

orchidee



Tune: St Hugh

('Lord teach us how to pray aright')

Psalm 86 v.15-17

*********

You, O Lord God, are a God full

Of compassion, grace all

Longsuffering, and plenteous

In mercy, truth to us

 

O turn to me, and have mercy

On me here, even me

Give your strength unto your servant

Before you penitent

 

Show me a sign for good, I pray

That they who do today

hate me may see it, be ashamed

What they against me framed

 

So shall I have known your help sure

And too your comfort pure

Trusting in you, teach me your way

Now and through every day
