('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
