Heavenly Help

orchidee



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.

        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.
