Prayers In Perils

orchidee



Tune: Trentham

('Welcome sweet day of rest'

= 'Breath on me, breath of God')

Psalm 57 v.1-5

*******

Be merciful to me

O God, even to me

For my soul trusts in you, I will

Make you my refuge still

 

In shadow of your wings

I stay, there my soul sings

Until these troubles be o'er past

Enemies from me cast

 

I will call to God, He

Most high o'er all things be

he performs all things for me, He

Shall save me here, so be

 

Save me from the reproach

Of those who my peace broach

They that trouble me, God shall send

Mery, truth, me defend

 

Though my soul midst lions

Feels, and midst battle sons

Still be you exalted, God be

Above earth your glory
