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
