Tune: St Hugh

('Lord, teach us how to pray aright')

Psalm 71 v.16-19

********

I will go in strength of the Lord

God, an will heed His word

Make mention of His righteousness

Only His I confess

 

God, you have from my youth me taught

Me guided and me sought

Hitherto have I declared your

Wondrous works true and pure

 

Now when I am old, grey-headed

'Tis still you Lord have led

Me, forsake me not, may I show

That others you may know

 

May I declare your strength, power

We need such every hour

Proclaim, so each generation

Shall know it, each nation

 

Your righteousness, O God, is high

Great things, there no deny

That you have done and still shall do

O God, there none like you!
