Tune: Hursley
('Sun of my soul, thou Saviour dear')
Psalm 119 v.145-152
********
I cried to the Lord with my whole
Heart, hear me, keep me, body, soul
And spirit, I will your laws keep
Enfold me, Shepherd, I your sheep
I cried to the Lord, Save me, I
Shall keep your laws, retain them nigh
I rose before the dawning day
Seeking you closely, and id pray
I called for help, hoped in your word
Trusting that you my prayers have heard
I also woke throughout the night
To meditate in your word's light
Hear my voice according unto
Your loving-kindness, me renew
Revive me, show your just judgement
Holy and right with good intent
They draw near that mischief follow
They far from your law, it not know
You are near, Lord, all your commands
Are truth, for ever each one stands
Concerning your testimonies
I have know of old as you please
You have founded them for ever
Your words, O Lord, do fail never
