¶Lyrics / Text

O blest are they who in their love compassion hold for those in need; For they shall find, when faced by foes, The Lord is their defense indeed. When all the evils earth can dream are cast on me, my faith to break; Their rage I temper through God’s grace, and bear them boldly for God’s sake. The hands which shared my broken bread, my love with their deceit repaid; And friends whose trust I counted mine have left me wounded and betrayed. To me, O Lord, in mercy turn; your favor, my most treasured prize; My mouth shall sing redemption’s song, and tears of love wash clean my eyes.
