('Let all the world in every corner sing')
Psalm 36 v.7-12
********
How excellent is your loving kindness
God, we confess
Therefore we mankind do
Put our full trust in you
'Neath shadow of your wings
We reside, each you brings
Praise worthy of your greatness, mercy
Your grace we see
We shall be abundantly satisfied
It not denied
With your fulness, you give
Salvation, so we live
And you shall make us drink
Of your river, we think
On you, partake river of your pleasures
They sure treasures
For with you Lord is the fountain of life
No human strife
And in your light we see
True light, shining clearly
Our way ahead, O guide
Us daily, do not hide
O continue your loving kindness to
Your people, do
And continue your righteousness to they
Who seek your way
To the upright in heart
Who follow you, each part
Let not pride nor wicked
Come to me, so misled
I would be, but you shall with evil deal
But work our weal* (*well-being)
