Tune: Lasst Uns Erfreuen

('All creatures of our God and King')

Psalm 31 parts

********

In you, O Lord, do I put my

Trust, my prayer into you does fly

Alleluia, Alleluia!

O let me never be ashamed

What things enemies me have blamed

Save me, so I be not defamed

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

 

Bow down you ear to hear me swift

And my downcast spirit uplift

Alleluia, Alleluia!

Be you my strong rock and shelter

You my house, fortress, I concur

Help me speedily, not defer

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

 

I will be glad, rejoice in your

Mercies, for they are lasting sure

Alleluia, Alleluia!

For you have my troubles known here

Through my adversities did steer

Me, and i sense your presence near

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

 

My times are in your hands, save me

Come, from my enemies me free

Alleluia, Alleluia!

Make your face here to shine upon

Me your servant, you be the one

Bringing salvation through your Son

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

 

O love the Lord, you saints of His

He keeps the faithful, true is this

Alleluia, Alleluia!

Be of good courage, and He shall

Strengthen your heart, so thus you tell

All you that hope in the Lord well

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
