Mercy Missive

orchidee



Tune: Melcombe

('New every morning is the love')

Psalm 80 v.3-7

*********

Turn us again, O Lord, and cause

Your face to shine on us, no pause

And we shall be saved by your grace

And too your mercies we shall trace

 

O Lord of hosts, how long will you

Be angry and our prayers not view?

But hear them now, we do beseech

And your help so give unto each

 

You feed us with the bread of tears

And increased here have been our fears

Times of weeping sore we have known

Until your comforts to us shown

 

You make us a strife to neighbours

Our enemies grief us confers

They laugh and mock at our poor state

O come to our aid Lord not late

 

[Repeat verse 1, as a refrain in the Psalm]

Turn us again, O Lord, and cause

Your face to shine on us, no pause

And we shall be saved by your grace

And too your mercies we shall trace
