('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
