Tune: Galilee
('Jesus calls us o'er the tumult')
Psalm 60 v.10-12 and Psalm 61 v.1-2
*********
Will you go with us, Lord? We plead
To you in our time of need
Though it seemed you did not go whence
We called on you time past thence
Give us help from trouble, for vain
To turn to man's help again
It be for us, yet through you we
Our God, shall gain victory
For through you we shall do wisely
Pursue on valiantly
With you leading, we shall down tread
Our enemies, none them dread
Hear our prayers, O God, do attend
Unto us your help now tend
From end of earth we shall call to
You, give grace, save us anew

I've not been to church for many years but I do miss the community aspect of it.
Oh and yes the hymns.
Thanks Blue.
Nice one Orchi
Thanks SC.
This rings back to a favourite childhood psalm;: "I look to the mountain where my help comes from..." We all do need help every now and again. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks CB.
Good one Orchi.
