Fits tune: Ruth
('Summer suns are glowing')
********
Psalm 121 v.1 - 3
I will lift up my eyes
And my soul arise
Look unto the hills high
For my help is nigh
It comes from the Lord sure
He will keep e'ermore
His servants, His children
Young, old, women, men
Psalm 122 v.6 - 7
Pray for peace of city
Jerusalem, be
City where the Lord dwells
Evry tongue it tells
That they shall true prosper
Who love you, hearts stir
To seek its good welfare
God's presence is there
Psalm 124 parts
If the LORD has us not
Helped, unhappy lot
Would our state be, we say
Light had turned away
But the LORD did us hear
Came to us, drew near
Freed us from enemy
Escaped now, we free
Psalm 125 v.1
They that in the LORD trust
Though we are mere dust
They shall be as Zion
Mount of God, the one
Which cannot be removed
But constant renewed
Does abide for ever
Vanishes never
Psalm 126 v.1 - 2
When the LORD did turn sure
Captivity sore
Of His people, then we
Were as dreamers, see
Then our mouth it was filled
With laughter, not stilled
And our tongue with singing
Was filled, praise did ring

Good write. Had the best fish and chips ever in Whitby and I still remember the cost. Fish chips, bread and butter and a cup of tea £3.50. The piece of fish over hung both side of the plate!
Thanks G. Yummy, nice!
