Confident Communings

Fits tune: Salzburg

('At the Lamb's high feast we sing')

Psalm 65 v.1 - 7

********

In Sion praise waits for you

O God, you the only true

To you shall vows be performed

By you shall our hearts be warmed

O you that hear prayer, to you

Shall all people come, they do

Seek your forgiveness afresh

Their transgressions do confess

 

You shall hear, you shall forgive

We shall be blessed, we shall live

For blessed are they who you choose

You do keep them, none them lose

By your grace we may approach

To your courts without reproach

And of your goodness shall we

Satisfied in your house be

 

By terrible, awesome things

You will answer us, so sings

Our souls of your righteousness

And salvation, us you bless

You the confidence of all

The ends of the earth, they call

Upon you, and all afar

On the sea, none do you bar

 

You by your strength do set fast

The mountains, they ever last

Girded with power is He

Who does still noise of the seas

Makes the noise of waves to cease

Brings in quietness and peace

And tumults of peoples halts

He all-perfect with no faults
