Tune: Praise my soul
('High beyond imagination
= 'Praise my soul, the King of heaven')
Psalm 40 v.10-16
********
I have not his your righteousness
In my heart, but it confess
And have declared your faithfulness
Lord, and your intent to bless
I have shared of your salvation
Open to every nation
I have not concealed your mercy
Your loving kindness it be
Nor have hid your truth from people
They your congregation all
Withhold not your tender mercies
From me, these my humble pleas
Lord, O let your loving kindness
And truth preserve me, do bless
For many evils do surround
Me, iniquities abound
They be more than hairs of my head
My heart fails me, as if dead
But be pleased, O Lord, to save me
For my troubles you do see
Make haste to help me, enemies
Turn back, you them each one sees
Let those that seek you here rejoice
Magnify you with one voice
