Bounteous Blessings

orchidee



Tune: Warwick (Stanley)

('My God, I know, I feel thee mine')

Psalm 115 v.9-18

********

O Israel, trust you in the Lord

He is the living Word (x2)

He is their help and shield always

E'en unto endless days (x3)

 

O house of Aaron* in Him trust {*the priestly line}

Though you mere men and dust (x2)

All you that fear Him trust Him too

He will come, you renew (x3)

 

The Lord of us has been mindful

He shall bless us, us call (x2)

He will bless all, both small and great

Not abandoned to fate (x3)

 

The Lord shall increase you more

And grant you blessings sure (x2)

Reaching to you, your children too

With mercies not a few (x3)

 

The heavens, they the Lord's own true

The sun, moon, and each star (x2)

Btu earth given to people here

To serve with godly fear (x3)
