Tune: Mannheim
('Lead us, heavenly Father, lead us')
*********
Psalm 52 v.8-9
I am like a green olive tree
In the house of God freely
I trust in God's mercy ever
It shall decline, fail never
I will praise Him, He my prayers heard
He be faithful to His word
Psalm 54 v.4
Behold God, He be my helper
He my strength and refuge sure
The Lord is with them that uphold
My soul, I sheep of His fold
Those who are for me sustain me
I shall press on, constant be
Psalm 55 v.22
Cast upon the Lord your burden
He shall help you even then
He shall sustain and shall you keep
Joys give for times when you weep
He shall not allow the righteous
To be moved, but shall them bless
Psalm 56 v.1-3
Be merciful , Lord, to me, defend
Me your servant to the end
Though enemies seek to swallow
Me up, your hand they shall know
In judgement, but when I afraid
Be, I will trust you firm, staid
