Lyics

THY mercies, that most tender are,

Do thou, O Lord, remember,

And loving kindnesses; for tHey

Have been of old for ever.



Let not the errors of my youth,

Nor sins remember'd be;

In mercy, for thy goodness' sake,

O Lord, remember me.



The Lord is good and gracious,

He upright is also:

He therefore sinners will instruct

In ways that they should go.



The meek and lowly he will guide

In judgment just always:

To meek and poor afflicted ones

He'll clearly teach his way.



The whole paths of the Lord our God

Are truth and mercy sure,

To such as keep his covenant

And testimonies pure.
