Prayer, Prosperity, Protection

Fits tune: St Clement

('The day thou gavest, Lord, is ended')

Parts of Psalms 121 - 126

********

Psalm 122 v.6

O pray for the peace of Jerusalem

God looks to bless, and not condemn

They that do love you, they shall prosper

longing hearts unto God's city stir

 

Psalm 122 v.7

Peace be within your walls, 'tis God's dwelling

Sing praises to Him, the great King

And in your palaces prosperity

That God's kingdom and reign shall be there

 

Psalm 121 v.1 - 2

I shall mine eyes lift unto the hills

God's presence my troubled thought stills

From whence comes my help from God above

heaven, earth made, sustains me with His love

 

Psalm 121 v.5 - 8

The LORD is your keeper day and night

He slumbers not, but in His sight

Does keep you, and He not sleeps, forgetful

But shall protect you in your ways all

 

Psalm 125 v.1

They that do trust in the LORD, they shall be

Like as mount Zion, steadfast see

Cannot be removed, abides for ever

Shall be cut off from the LORD never

 

Psalm 126 v.1

When the LORD did our captivity

Turn, we did dream, and we were free

Then we did sing and laugh in fullness

For God had helped us, us did bless

 

Psalm 126 v.6

So in prayer if going forth weeping

Bearing precious seed, we shall bring

Our sheaves with rejoicing, God shall hear

Answer our petitions, to us draw near
