Tune: St Hilda

('O happy band of pilgrims')

Psalm 111 v.7-10

**********

The works of the Lord's hands they

Be true and just alway

All His commandments are sure

And last for evermore

 

They do stand fast for ever

And they are done never

Deceitfully, unrighteous

But faithful unto us

 

He has sent redemption to

His people, e'en to you

Has commanded His cov'nant

For ever, it He sent

 

Holy, reverend His name

Stands for all time the same

The fear of the Lord, holy

Respectful awesome be

 

It is the beginning sure

Of wisdom, and is pure

Good understanding have they

Who follow in His way
