Tune: Little Cornard
('Hills of the north rejoice')
Psalm 125
***********
They that trust in the Lord
Shall be, so says His word
As mount Zion, that can
Not be removed by man
But abides for ever, firm stands
Its strength displayed unto all lands
As the mountains are round
Jerusalem, so found
Around His people here
The Lord does sure appear
He is around His people e'er
With salvation and loving care
The wicked's works shall not
Rest on the godly's lot
Lest righteous tempted be
To sin, iniquity
Do good, O Lord, to those that be
Good, whose upright hearts each you see
Such as do turn aside
To wrong shall not reside
In the city of light
They shall be led to night
But peace shall be on Israel
Of the Lord's presence they shall tell
