*********

Psalm 125 v.1

They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount

Zion, from whence does spring refreshment, blessing's fount

It cannot be removed, abides ever

And it shall be overcome, no, never

Psalm 125 v.2

And as the mountains are round about, see

Jerusalem, so the LORD roundabout is He

Around his people henceforth for ever

He will forsake, leave them never

Chorus

Psalm 126 v.1-2

When the LORD did turn tour captivity

We were like them that do dream, whole, carefree

Laughter and joy was our state, for the LORD

Stood faithful e'er to His word

Psalm 126 v.3-4

The LORD has done great things for us, and we

Are glad in Him, for His salvation do we see

Turn us, O LORD, to flow as the streams do

To water the land, and to it renew

Psalm 126 v.5-6

They that go forth weeping, though sad they be

They bear precious seed, and whence does come harvestry

They shall doubtless then come again, and shall bring

Sheaves with them and with joy shall sing - Chorus

Psalm 127 v.1

Except the LORD build the house, they labour

In vain that build, and not knowing the LORD's favour

Except the LORD keep the city, they who do

Watch stay awake in vain, it sure be true

Psalm 127 v.3

A family is a heritage for

The LORD gives them, provides, and blesses them for sure

Worshipping, serving, in Him they prosper

Graces on them He does confer - Chorus
