Trusting Times 2

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
