Tune: Gwalchmai

('King of glory, King of peace')

Psalm 20: A prayer for the King/Queen (adapted)

********

1. The LORD hear you in trouble

Attend your call

The name of God you defend

Unto the end

He God of Jacob, he be

Of Israel, see

Send you help from sanctuary

Strengthened you be

 

2. From Zion where He resides

There none besides

Him, the God who strengthens you

Shall you renew

He remembers the offerings

Each one Him brings

And too sacrifices made

On altar laid

 

3. The Lord grant you the desires

No evil mars

Desires of your heart, godly

Unto Him be

And all your counsels fulfil

Guard from all ill

So we shall in Him rejoice

Make Him our choice

 

4. Rejoice in His salvation

To each nation

And set up our banners here

Of our Lord dear

Your petitions shall he hear

Made in lowly fear

Each prayer answer in His will

He faithful still

 

5. The Lord saves His anointed

And has them led

He will help with His right hand

To save our land

Some in chariots do trust

Or in horses must

Put their confidence, but we

Trust in God, see

 

6. We His name shall remember

To Him refer

Enemies brought down, fallen

But it is then

That we are risen, and stand

Upright by His hand (Spirit)

Save, LORD, King of Kings, us hear

You to us near
