65 | Psalm 65 | LM | |
PRAISE, Lord, for Thee, in Zion waits; Prayer shall besiege Thy temple gates; All flesh shall to Thy throne repair, And find, through Christ, salvation there. |
|||
2 | Our spirits faint, our sins prevail; Leave not our trembling hearts to fail: O Thou that hearest prayer, descend, And still be found the sinner’s Friend. |
||
3 | How blest Thy saints! how safely led! How surely kept! how richly fed! Saviour of all in earth and sea, How happy they who rest in Thee! |
||
4 | Thy hand sets fast the mighty hills, Thy voice the troubled ocean stills; Evening and morning hymn Thy praise, And all the earth Thy power displays. |
||
5 | Lord, on our souls Thine influence pour; The moral waste within restore; O, let Thy love our springtide be, And make us all bear fruit to Thee. |
||
