Multitudinous Mercies

Tune: Westminster Abbey

('Christ is made the sure foundation')

Psalm 106 v.43-48

********

Many times the Lord delivered

His sheep of old, He them fed

Though they with their counsel provoked

Him, and then His wrath awaked

And they for their sins were brought low

Did not faithfully Him know

 

Nevertheless He regarded

Their affliction, still them led

heard them when they did to Him turn

And again of Him did learn

Heard their cry, attended their prayers

Then again each one well fares

 

He remembered His covenant

Promises unto them sent

He repented as according

To His mercies and did bring

Help unto them, they were pitied

When captives they were amid

 

Save us, O Lord, our God, gather

Us from heathen, grace confer

So shall we give thanks to your name

Holy, it remains the same

And too we shall in you true praise

Triumph, worship to you raise

 

Blessed be the Lord God of Israel

He e'erlasting without fail

And to everlasting He be

Lord of all, let all agree

Let all the people say, Amen

Praise Him children, women, men
