Tune: Fulda
('We have a gospel to proclaim')
Psalm 111 v.7-10
********
The works of the Lord's hands they be
Verity, truth, and judgement, see
All His commandments thy are sure
The words of the Lord stand e'ermore
His works done in truth, uprightness
He sent redemption, we confess
Sent to us, His people, and He
Has commanded His covenant free
It stands for ever and ever
And loses its power never
Holy and reverend His name
To endless years He be the same
The fear of the Lord, and awe-filled
Reverence to Him, conflicts stilled
It so be the beginning true
Of wisdom, and too minds renew
A good understanding have all
They that do His commands, they call
On Him for aid, His grace assists
His praise endures e'er, ne'er desists
