Text:They in the Lord that firmly trust
Tune:ST DAVID

P125. They in the Lord that firmly trust

1 They in the Lord that firmly trust
shall be like Zion hill,
which at no time can be removed,
but stand for ever will.
2 As round about Jerusalem
the mountains stand alway,
the Lord his folk doth compass so,
from henceforth and for aye.

3 For ill men's rod upon the lot
of just men shall not lie;
lest righteous men stretch forth their hands
unto iniquity.
4 Do thou to all those that be good
thy blessing, Lord, impart;
thy blessing give thou unto all
who upright are in heart.
