Tune: Kingsfold
('I heard the voice of Jesus say')
********
Psalm 59 v.16-17
I will sing Lord of your power
You help me every hour
I will sing loud of your mercy
For you my defence be
And too my refuge in trouble
When unto you I call
To you, my strength, Lord will I sing
And grateful thanks here bring
Psalm 60 v.11-12
Give us help from trouble, for sure
The help of man is poor
'Tis vanity, but you we trust
Lord, though we small and dust
Through God we shall valiant do
He shall tread down, pursue
Our enemies, and we shall see
Through Him the victory
Psalm 61 v.1-2
Hear my cry, O God hear my prayer
I trust you always there
From ends of earth I cry to you
Come to me, me renew
When my heart it overwhelmed be
I to your refuge flee
Lead me to rock higher than I
Your saving presence nigh
Psalm 61 v.3-4
For you have been shelter to me
Tower from enemy
Strong, fortified, they cannot broach
When evil, they approach
I will abide, I shall not fall
In your tabernacle
For ever there I stay, remain
Your protection I gain
Psalm 62 v.7-8
In God [is] my salvation, glory
Rock of my strength He be
My refuge is in God, I hid
In Him, He to me bid
Trust in Him at all times, people
Pour out hearts, on Him call
For He a refuge for us e'er
We [are] kept with loving care
