Psalm 89vv1-4,19-26 (CM)

A Psalm for Advent IV, year B

Words: Thomas Thurman


 * My lips proclaim your faithfulness,
 * my praises ever rise.
 * Your love stands firm for evermore,
 * as steadfast as the skies.


 * You told us of your promises:
 * to David you had sworn
 * to build his throne for evermore
 * to children yet unborn.


 * You raised your servant David up
 * to be your chosen king,
 * and gave him wits and strength enough
 * for all that life would bring.


 * And all the while his heart will know
 * my faithfulness and love,
 * and call upon his Father God,
 * his saving rock above.
