Hope And Help

Tune: St Timothy

('O Holy Ghost, thy people bless')

Psalm 34 v.18-22

*********

The righteous cry, and the LORD hears

Delivers them from fears

Saves them out of all troubles, He

Still their strong helper be

 

The LORD is night to them that be

Of a broken heart, see

And such as of spirit contrite

Or crushed, he will help right

 

Many are the afflictions, so

Of the righteous, we know

But the LORD saves them from them all

He hears when they do call

 

His protection shall safe them keep

They in His fold His sheep

Evil shall slay the wicked, they

Not stand in righteous' day

 

They that do hate the righteous shall

Be desolate, we tell

But the LORD does redeem the soul

Of His servants, makes whole

 

None of them who do in Him trust

Though all they be mere dust

They shall not be desolate, they

Be blessed, they thrive alway
