Proclaiming Promises

orchidee



Tune: Morning Hymn

('Awake my soul, and with the sun')

Psalm 3, 4, 5 - various verses

********

You, O Lord, are a shield round me

And you lift up my head, so be

When I am downcast, Help I see

From you, who my true glory be

 

Salvation to the Lord belongs

Let us now praise Him with our sings

His blessing is on His people

They who believe and hear His call

 

Stand in awe, and sin not, commune

With your own heart on your bed, soon

You shall again His presence sense

Be still and His strength take up thence

 

Let all those that put their trust in

The Lord rejoice, e'en from within

Because He defends them too let

They that love His name rejoice yet

 

For the Lord will bless the righteous

And be favourable to us

His favour as a shield surrounds

Them, and his protection abounds
