The Lord is ever nigh to them
Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 18 The Lord is ever nigh to them
in heart that broken be;
those who in spirit contrite are
he saveth graciously.
19 The troubles that afflict the just
in number many be;
but yet at length out of them all
the Lord doth set him free.
20 He carefully his bones doth keep,
whatever may befall;
that not so much as one of them
can broken be at all.
21 Ill shall the wicked slay; condemned
shall be who hate the just.
22 The Lord redeems his servants’ souls;
none perish that him trust. Scripture: Psalm 34:18-22 Used With Tune: ST MATTHEW
