Mercy Missive

orchidee



Tune: Richmond

(one tune to 'Praise to the holiest in the height')

Psalm 119 v.76-78

********

Let, I pray you, Lord, now let your

Mercy come to me sure

Your merciful kindness, and let

It be my comfort yet

 

According to your word spoken to

Me, it shall me renew

Let your tender mercies come to

Me, they flow all from you

 

So that I may live, for your law

Is my delight clear, pure

Let the proud be ashamed, who do

Oppress those who love you

 

Though they deal wrongly with falseness

I will trust you, me bless

In your precepts I meditate

I do, for they are great

          Thanks SB. KP says 'have mercy on me' every time I (so-called) sing to her. I don't know it torments her! lol. Me singing that is, not the words.
