Tune: St Bees
('Hark my soul, it is the Lord')
Psalm 28 v.6-9
*************
Blesséd be the Lord, for He
Voice of my prayers has heard, see
He is my strength and my shield
Unto Him I will true yield
My heart trusts in Him, and so
I am helped, His grace I know
Therefore my heart greatly here
Rejoices in Him, He hear
With my song I will Him praise
On through endless nights and days
The Lord our strength, salvation
Appears unto each nation
He the saving strength shall be
Of His anointed*, bold, free
Save your people, Lord, and bless
Your inheritance no less
Feed them also as your sheep
You will defend them and keep
Do for ever them up lift
Grant to them each gracious gift
-----
* 'His anointed' could mean 'His people.
It could also mean Christ, 'The Anointed One',
though not yet come in person in the Old Testament days.
