Prayers In Perils

orchidee



Tune: Richmond

('Fill thou my life, O Lord my God')

Psalm 57 v.1-5

*********

Ber merciful, O God, to me

And all my troubles see

For my soul trusts in you, I will

Abide 'neath your wings still

 

There shall I make my refuge so

Under your wings shadow

Until my troubles be o'erpast

They shall not ever last

 

For the Lord God most high He shall

Perform, do all things well

For me, shall help from heaven send

To my oppressions tend

 

He shall save me from enemies

And from them me He frees

Sends forth His truth and His mercy

His graces to me be

 

Be exalted, O God above

The heavens, truth and love

We see, and too let your glory

Be above earth, sky, sea

      I see prayers in peril as an ominous sign .. I dunno why, I just do ... N

      • orchidee

        Thanks N. Are you thinking the prayers themselves are in peril?

        This brings me back to my Sunday hymns, always lofty and glorious. Always looking to exalt Him. Forever and ever amen.

              A very comforting piece this is, drawing in faith, from a higher source.
