('Now is eternal life')

Psalm 34 v.17-22

****************

The righteous to God call

He, the Lord, hears them all

And saves them out of their

Troubles here, everywhere

He nigh to them of broken heart

To them He comfort does impart

And He saves such as be

Of a heart contritely

Many the afflictions

Of righteous daughters, sons

But the Lord saves them out of all

Their troubles when they to Him call

He keeps them safe from harm

Protects them, no alarms

Evil shall the wicked

Slay, but we not them dread

And they that hate the righteous shall

Be desolate, we can know well

The Lord redeems the soul

Of His servants, makes whole

And none of them that trust

In Him though they mere dust

None of such shall be desolate

They shall know the Lord's mercies great
