Tune: Mannheim
('Lead us, heavenly Father, lead us')
Psalm 31 v.15-19 & v.23-24
**********
My times are in your hand, O Lord
You the ever living Word
Save me from hand of enemies
And persecutors, my please
These be, and too make your face shine
On me with your light divine
I am your servant, O save me
And let me not ashamed be
For I have called upon you, let
Wicked be silenced e'en yet
For they speak grievous things proudly
Against the good scorningly
O how great is your goodness, you
Have laid it up for those, true
That fear you, that show reverence
And respect as they you sense
You have wrought it for they that trust
In you, though we mere men, dust
O love the Lord, you His saints all
He preserves, keeps the faithful
And too repays those who evil
Do, who not repent at all
Be of good courage, and He shall
Strengthen your heart, hope ne'er fail
