Tune: Eventide
('Abide with me')
*******
Psalm 25 v.10
All the paths of the Lord, mercy, truth be
To such as keep His sure testimonies
And His covenant, and for His name's sake
Shall pardon our sins great, our burdens take
Psalm 25 v.17
Turn to me Lord, on me do have mercy
For I am desolate, afflicted be
Troubles of my heart, they enlarged here are
Bring me out of distress, save me from far
Psalm 26 v.8
Lord I have loved the sure habitation
Of your house of prayer, set for each nation
And 'tis the place wherein your honour dwells
They who reside there, each your glories tells
Psalm 27 v.4
One thing of the Lord, it i have desired
That will I seek after, and ne'er grow tired
'Tis that I may dwell in His house always
To behold His beauty for endless days
Psalm 27 v.4-5
And to enquire there in his house, temple
He graciously shall hear who to Him call
In times of trouble, He shall shelter, hide
Me in His tent, in Him I shall confide
Psalm 25 v.20-22
O keep my soul, O do deliver me
Let me not be ashamed, I trust you, see
Grant integrity, uprightness, keep me
I wait on you God to redeem, set free
