Tune: Southwell
('Lord Jesus, think on me')
Psalm 116 v.1-7
********
I love the Lord, He heard
My voice, my every word
My pleas, my prayers came to His ear
His presence I sense near
So I will on Him call
Trusting, I shall not fall
Though sorrows as of death I knew
You helped me, even you
Pains as of hell gripped me
Troubles, sorrows did see
Then called I on the Lord's name sure
Deivler me, restore
Tend to my soul, for you
Gracious, righteous be too
And merciful you, our God be
Our Lord eternally
The Lord does me preserve
From Him may I not swerve
He lifted me when I was low
His graces I did know
Return to rest, my soul
The Lord restores you whole
Has saved you, dealt bountifully
From troubles set you free

My old landline phone is giving me no end of trouble - glad to see your hotline is doing much better - but wait til Apple gets you in their sights....
this sounds very much like that old hit by Synesius and Carbunkle 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' .. and that other one by Dexies Midnight Runners Goodnight Cyrene .. 🐧
Thanks N. lol.
