Hasten My Help

orchidee



Tune: Bullinger

('I am trusting thee, Lord Jesus')

Psalm 40 v.11-17 parts

*********

1. Withhold not your tender mercies

From me, me LORD, see

Let your truth, your loving kindness

Do me sure bless

 

2. Let them keep me and preserve me

For there here do be

Many evils, sins abounding

My pleas I bring

 

3. Bring them to you, O LORD, be pleased

My burdens be eased

Deliver me, make haste to help me

Do set me free

 

4. Let all those that seek you rejoice

In you, you their choice

Let such as love your salvation

Praise you, each one

 

5. Look on me, I poor and needy

LORD, think upon me

You my helper and deliverer

Graces confer [on me]
