PSALM 57
102 L. M.
Praise for protection, grace, and truth.
| My God, in whom are all the springs Of boundless love, and grace unknown, Hide me beneath thy spreading wings, Till the dark cloud is overblown. | | Up to the heav'ns I send my cry, The Lord will my desires perform; He sends his angel from the sky, And saves me from the threat'ning storm. | | Be thou exalted, O my God, Above the heav'ns, where angels dwell; Thy power on earth be known abroad, And land to land thy wonders tell. | | My heart is fixed; my song shall raise Immortal honors to thy name; Awake, my tongue, to sound his praise, My tongue, the glory of my frame. | | High o'er the earth his mercy reigns, And reaches to the utmost sky; His truth to endless years remains, When lower worlds dissolve and die. | | Be thou exalted, O my God, Above the heav'ns, where angels dwell; Thy power on earth be known abroad, And land to land thy wonders tell. | |
