Gracious Goodness

orchidee



Tune: Hereford

('O thou who camest from above')

Psalm 112 v.4-7

**********

To upright there arises light

In the darkness, to give them sight

They are gracious, compassionate

And righteous, hearts on the Lord set

 

Good people show favour, and lend

Thye do unto the needy tend

They guide their life-matters wisely

With discretion, justice, so be

 

Surely they shall not be moved e'er

But solid standing they do share

They the righteous shall ever be

In e'erlasting remembrance, see

 

They shall not fear evil tidings

What troubles or strifes that life brings

Their hearts are fixed and steadfastly

They trust in the Lord completely
