Sheltering Security

Tune: St Peter

('How sweet the name of Jesus sounds')

Psalm 32 v.7-11

********

You are my hiding place, you shall

Preserve me, I know well

Lord, from trouble, you me surround

In you my refuge found

 

You shall give me songs of safety

Of deliverance free

You will instruct me and teach me

In the way you go, see

 

You will guide me, will look upon

Me with your eye, may none

Be as horse or as mule, for they

Are not tame, so we say

 

For they have no understanding

But true 'tis in each thing

Must be restrained, bit and bridle

They need, to be curbed all

 

Many sorrows to the wicked

Shall be, but they who led

By the Lord, and do in Him trust

Find help, though they mere dust

 

Mercy shall surround them, they be

Joyful in the Lord free

They righteous and upright in heart

serve the Lord in each part [of their lives]
