Hopeful of Help

Tune: Wareham

('Jesus, where'er thy people meet')

Psalm 70

**********

Make haste, O God, to help me here

Save me, soon unto me appear

Let them be ashamed, confounded

Who grievous words to me have said

Let them be put to confusion

They who desire my hurt, each one

Turn back those who scorn me and frustrate

Their plans, come help me, be not late

Let all those that seek you rejoice

O God, and be glad with one voice

Let such as love your salvation

Give praise to you from each nation

Let them continually say

Let God be magnified each day

But I am poor and needy, see

Come, O God, and help me quickly
