Tune: Ewing

('Jerusalem the golden')

Psalm 55 v.16-22

*******

I will call upon the LORD

I will hear Him, His word

And the LORD God shall save me

Whatever time it be

Evening, morning, and noonday

I cry aloud, i pray

And he shall hear my voice sure

Shall help m evermore

 

He has delivered my soul

In peace from the battle

That was against me, for there

Were many with me fair

God shall hear, and enemies

He shall afflict, He frees

Me from their troubles, for He

Abides from of old, see

 

Because they have cnages none

They fear not God, each one

Putsf forth their hands against those

Who way of peace have chose

And they do break covenant

From laws they do dissent

Words of their mouth are smoother

Than butter, but evil stirs

 

Their words were softer than oil

Yet they were drawn swords, foil

But godly, cast your burden

Upon the LORD, find then

That He will e'er sustain you

Shall help you and renew

Shall never suffer righteous

To be moved, but shall bless
