Tune: Truro
('Christ is alive, let Christians sing')
Psalm 36 v.7-10
*********
How excellent your mercy be
Your loving-kindness unto me
O God, therefore children of men
Trust under your wings, they safe then
They shall all be abundantly
Satisfied with what you supply
And you shall make them drink of your
River, there pleasures evermore
For with you is the fountain pure
Of life, in your light we see sure
Light, O continue your mercy
To they that know you here truly
And continue your righteousness
To the upright in heart, them bless
Yes, excellent your mercy, we
Are granted it and your grace free
