('Oft in danger, oft in woe')
Lamentations 3 v.21-27
********
It is of the LORD's mercies
That we are not consumed, these
His compassions, they fail not
Blessings to us are our lot
His graces new each morning
He us them does daily bring
Great is His faithfulness too
Reaching unto me and you
The LORD is my portion here
Says my soul, I will Him fear
And will hope in Him each days
He shall show me His good way
The LORD is unto them good
Those who that wait for Him would
And to the soul that Him seeks
He shall help humble and meek
It is good that all, each one
Should hope in Him, all bar none
And quietly wait, draw near
His salvation shall appear
Good to bear yoke in our youth
Yoke of the LORD, it is truth
I these things recall to mind
Therefore hope in Him I find
