Tune: North Coates
('O my Saviour, lifted')
Psalm 134
********
Behold, bless you the LORD
You who have His word
All you servants of HIs
Here contentment, bliss
You who on night duty
In the temple be
By night you stand to praise
And Him anthems raise
Lift up your hands, so be
In His sanctuary
Bless the LORD, and He bless
You, and nothing less
He give you protection
Through hours, each one
Lonely, dark, others sleep
The LORD shall all keep
So continuous praise
Through days and nights raise
He all times be worthy
To receive glory
