Tune: Majestas
('Name of all majesty')
Psalm 118 v.1-9
**********
Give thanks unto the LORD
He is good, it is true
His mercy endures
For e'er, it is sure
Let Israel now say
In their praises each day
His mercy endures e'er
And it fails ne'er
Let priests, house of Aaron
Now all say, every one
His mercy endures
Ever from His stores
And they that the LORD fear
Unto Him now draw near
And say the His mercy
Lasts e'er, so be
I did call on the LORD
In distress, He my word
Did hear, answered me
So secure I be
He set me in large place
His mercies true I trace
The LORD is on my side
It not denied
I will not fear, what can
Man do to me more than
The LORD allows, He
My help here shall be
It better Him to trust
Than man, who be mere dust
And than rulers, princes
Comfort is this
