Tune: Franconia
('Blest are the pure in heart')
Psalm 145 v.16-21
**********
Lord, open your hand true
As your word says you do
And so satisfy the desire
Of all things near and far
Yes, every living thing
Sustenance you them bring
You, Lord, righteous in all your ways
We praise you all our days
In all your works holy
You are, and gracious be
Nigh to all they that call on you
Come to their aid anew
They who in truth do call
On you, you meet needs all
Will fulfil desire of they who
Fear, reverence you do
You will hear their prayers, pleas
Will save them, bring heart's-ease
You preserve all that love you, though
Wicked destruction know
My mouth shall speak the praise
Of the Lord, Him upraise
Let all beings bless His name, see
It holy ever be
