Are ordered by the Lord;
And though they fall, held by His hand,
They yet shall be restored.
2 I have not seen, tho' since my youth
Full many years have fled,
The saint forsaken, nor behold
His children begging bread.
3 The children of the merciful
Find blessings kept in store;
Depart from evil and do good,
And live for evermore.
4 Wait on the Lord and keep His way,
And then, by Him approved,
Thy heritage shall still remain
When sinners are removed.
5 Mark well the perfect, upright man,
As still his years increase;
Behold his life, and thou shalt see
His journey end in peace. Scripture: Psalm 37 Languages: English Tune Title: DOWNS
