Tune: Gwalchmai
('King of glory, King of peace')
Psalm 34 v.1-8
***********
I will bless the LORD all times
Throughout life's rhymes
Lord, help us, as David did
Praises not hid
May your praise be continual
On our lips all
As the Psalmist did express
'Twas joy in this
My soul shall make her boast in
The LORD, not sin
The humble shall of it hear
In praises clear
magnify the LORD with me
For He worthy
Exalt His name together
Sister, brother
I sought the LORD, he heard me
Answered my plea
Delivered me from all fears
Gave me good cheer
They looked to him, lightened they
Were in the way
Their faces were radiant
Not despondent
They not ashamed, they as I
To the LORD cry
He heard us, He did us save
us His help gave
Saved us out of all troubles
From our pitfalls
Help us trust still, so we shall
Through you fare well
The angel of the LORD, He
Does encamp, see
Round about them that Him fear
He to them near
And delivers them, O taste
It be no waste
Taste, see the LORD, He good is
Blessed we, true this
