Praise Ponderings

Tune: Dudley

('God is gone up on high')

Parts of Psalms 84, 85, 86, 89

**********

Behold, O God, our shield

You do all power wield

Look here upon the face

Of your Messiah, grace

Grant unto Him, He does your plan

Fulfil for every woman, man

Fulfil for every woman, man

 

The Lord our God is a sun

And shield to everyone

Who does in Him put trust

Though we mere men and dust

Grace and glory he will us give

Good things to those who upright live

Good things to those who upright live

 

Lord, you favourable

Are to who on you call

You have brough back we see

Israel's captivity

Have forgotten their sins and blessed

They your great name have true confessed

They your great name have true confessed

 

Surely His salvation

Is nigh to our station

To those who do Him fear

He shall come and draw near

So that glory may in our land

Dwell, all be by your gracious hand

Dwell, all be by your gracious hand

 

For you, O Lord, are good

We praise you here, we would

You ready to forgive

By your grace shall we live

And plenteous in mercy you

To those who call, to you ensue

To those who call, to you ensue

 

You Lord, are a God full

Of compassion, graceful

Longsuffering, plenty

In mercy, truth you be

O turn to me, and have mercy

On me, and give strength unto me

On me, and give strength unto me

 

For who in heaven be

Compared to the Lord, see?

Who among the mighty

Is strong or great as He?

He is greatly to be feared in
