Tune: Pastor Pastorum

('Faithful Shepherd, feed me')

Psalm 131

*********

Lord, my heart not haughty

Nor conceited be

Keep me lowly, humble

Patient unto all

 

And my eyes not lofty

They not proud things see

Nor do I concern me

In things too high, see

 

Surely I have myself

Calmed, and find true wealth

In being a s weaned child

Trusting mother mild

 

Let Israel, all people

Hope in you and call

On you Lord for ever

You forsake never
