Protection Pleas

orchidee



Tune: Holton Holgate

('Firmly I believe and truly')

Psalm 31 v.1-5

********

In you, Lord, do I put my trust

Though I be mere man and dust

Let me never here be ashamed

For enemies taunts have framed

 

Save me, Lord, in your righteousness

Hear words I to you address

Bow down your ear, deliver me

Come to my help speedily

 

Be you my strong rock of refuge

I turn to you, take courage

Be to me a house of defence

A strong fortress, save me hence

 

'Tis true, you my rock and fortress

So for your name's sake no less

Lead me and guide me in safety

Your my Lord, protector be

 

Pull me out of enemies net

That they have secretly yet

Laid for me, but you unto me

Myr strength and my helper be

 

Into your hand I commit my

Spirit, trusting you are nigh

You Lord God of truth have redeemed

Me, so have chosen, so deemed
