Praise For Providings

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
