Tune: St James Air
('How lovely is thy dwelling place')
Psalm 36 v.6-9
**********
How excellent, O God, true this
Is your loving-kindness
Therefore children of men put their
Trust in you, peace they share
They trust under your wings shadow
There contentment they know
They shall be satisfied and full
With your abundance all
In your house, your temple, fullness
You shall share with them, bless
And you shall make them drink, treasures
River of your pleasures
For with you is the fount of life
Easing toil, calming strife
And in your light we shall see light
So banished darkness, night
