Tune: Nun Danket
('Now thank we all our God')
Psalm 125
********
They that trust in the Lord
Shall find Him true to His word
They shall be as the mount
Zion, whence springs blessings fount
Which cannot be removed
Through troubles it has proved
That it remains, abides
Here each in God confides
As the mountains are round
About Jerusalem, found
Is the Lord's true presence
Round about His people, sense
We, from henceforth even
For ever, it is seen
By faith that He is here
His safe-keeping, it near
For wicked's deeds shall not
Rest upon the righteous' lot
Lest the righteous do sin
From godly path do begin
To turn, but the Lord shall
Keep them, they shall do well
Do good, Lord, unto they
That be good, know your way
And He shall bless upright
They who do right in His sight
As for such as do turn
To wicked ways, they shall learn
From the Lord, He shall lead
Them away they not heed
Him, but on His people
Peace shall be on them all
