Tune: Halton Holgate
('Firmly I believe and truly')
********
Psalm 83 v.17
Lord, let your enemies all be
Confounded and troubled, see
Let them be put to shame, perish
Put down every evil wish
Psalm 83 v.18
That people may know that you are
JEHOVAH, God great by far
That your name is through the ages
O'er all history's pages
Psalm 82 v.8
Arise, O God, the earth judge for
You shall true inherit sure
All the nations, they shall you own
As the Sovereign Lord alone
Psalm 81 v.13-14
O that my people had heard me
It would prosperous then be
For them in days of old, if they
had walked daily in His way
Psalm 80 v.7
Turn us again, O Lord, save us
God of hosts, grace us you gave
Cause your face upon us to shine
And we shall be saved sure, fine

Verse 18 has long been a favourite of mine - - "Jehovah" - meaning - He is causes to become - a name indeed for all the ages. A comforting read my friend.
