Tune: Cwm Rhondda
('Guide me, O thou great Redeemer')
Psalm 145 v.13-21
*******
Your kingdom, Lord, everlasting
Be, now let all peoples sing
Your dominion endures e'er
Through all generations fair
The Lord upholds all they that fall
He is gracious unto all
He is gracious unto all
He raises up those that bowed down
Be, and gives to them renown
Teh eyes of all look unto you
Waiting expectantly, true
And you give them their food in time
Throughout earthly days life's rhyme
Throughout earthly days life's rhyme
You open your hand, satisfy
the desire here by and by
Of every living thing, sustained
By you we be, mercy gained
Your, Lord, righteous in all your ways
Holy in His works always
Holy in His works always
He will fulfil desire of they
That do call on Him this day
They that fear Him, show reverence
For they do His presence sense
And will save them, keep from evil
They that love Him, keep them all
They that love Him, keep them all
But the wicked He will destroy
Each subtle plot and each ploy
My mouth shall speak praise of the Lord
He be faithful to His word
And let all flesh praise His holy
Name for evermore, so be
Name for evermore, so be
