Tune: Beatitudo

('How bright these glorious spirits shine'

= 'O for a closer walk with God')

Psalm 34 v.14-22

********

Depart from evil, and do good

Seek peace, pursue it too

The eyes of the Lord are upon

The righteous, every one

 

His ears to their cray open are

he hears them, near or far

But His face is turned against those

Who have evil ways chose

 

The righteous cry, the Lord He hers

Saves them from their strong fears

Delivers them from troubles all

As unto Him they call

 

The Lord is nigh to them that be

Of a broken heart, see

Saves such as of contrite spirit

Whose hearts to Him are knit

 

Many are afflictions of those

The righteous, but He knows

Them, and delivers such from all

Troubles that may cause fall

 

The Lord protects, keeps every part

Of their mind, will, and heart

And body too, not one bone will

Be broken, intact still

 

Evil shall slay wicked, their fate

And those who righteous hate

They shall be desolate, bereft

No prosperity left

 

The Lord, He His servants redeems

E'en if all lost it seems

And none of them that trust in Hin

Slall be desolate, dim
