('At the name of Jesus')

Psalm 71 v.17-24

********

O God, you have taught me

From my youth, now see

I have shown hitherto

Your wonders here too

Now when I am older

To my help still stir

Forsake me not, may I

Go on, know you nigh

 

To show your strength unto

Generation new

That shall come to pass, for

Your mercies are sure

O God, your righteousness

Is high, I confess

You who have done great things

Unto you each sings

 

You, who have shown me great

And sore troubles, wait

I on you, you shall bring

Me out of each thing

Shall increase my greatness

Comfort me and bless

I will also praise you

With instruments too

 

You are the Holy One

Great things you have one

I will sing and greatly

Rejoice with voice free

For you my soul redeemed

And now I have deemed

Saved from my enemies

Say, They not me seize
