Hymn · Psalm 25
The Friendship of the Lord
BOYLSTON · S.M. · words from The Psalter, 1912 · music Lowell Mason
1.The man that fears the Lord
God's way shall understand;
His soul shall ever dwell at ease,
His children rule the land.
2.The friendship of the Lord
Is ever with His own,
And unto those that fear His Name
His faithfulness is shown.
3.My eyes are evermore
Tow'rd Thee, O Lord, Whose care
Shall surely save my heedless feet
From ev'ry hidden snare.
4.O turn to me Thy face,
To me Thy mercy show,
For I am very desolate
And brought exceeding low.
