Psalm 38:9-14 ( Tune: Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee) Words: The Book of Psalms for Singing, 38C Music: Joyful, Joyful, L. von Beethoven Arrangement: Chris Reeves
1. My de-sire and cease-less wail-ing Lord un-veiled… …be-fore thee lie Throbs my heart my strength is fail-ing all the light has left my eye.
Friends and lov-ers whom I cher-ish from my plague now stand a-loof My own kins-men though I per-ish come no more be-neath… …my roof.
2. They that for my life are seek-ing snares for me in se-cret lay hurt-ful things a-gainst me speak-ing, plots de-vis-ing all the day
As one dear and dumb ap-pear-ing naught I hear nor si-lence break; I’m as one their words not hear-ing, and whose… …lips no an-swer make.
