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
