Hopeful Of Help

orchidee



Tune: Buckland

('Loving Shepherd of thy sheep')

Psalm 146 v.5-10

*********

Happy they who the Lord, they

Have Him for their help each day

He their God, their hope is in

Him, forgiven be their sin

 

He made heaven, earth, and sea

And all that within them be

He keeps the truth for ever

Falsity and lies never

 

He brings justice to oppressed

Gives food to hungry, they blessed

Sets prisoners free, they be

Captive now unto Him, see

 

He opens eyes of the blind

Clarity of sight they find

Raises up those that bowed down

That fall, as if 'neath life's frown

 

He loves the righteous, preserves

Strangers, orphans He conserves

And widows and widowers

But wicked no aid confers

 

He turns upside down their way

They not know Him in their day

But He shall reign for ever

The Lord's rule ceases never
