My soul boasts in the Lord alone
Psalm 34
- My soul boasts in the Lord alone, at all times, even when I groan. I glorify the Lord’s great name, Whose Son in this meal me does claim.
- He saves me from my darkest fears, in days past and in future years. I called Him in my deep distress. “Absolved!” He said when I confessed.
- Today we taste and find Him good, we eat and drink Him as we should. Though others hunger and they thirst, feasting on Him no longer cursed.
- Come and I’ll teach you of the Lord, our Savior and our great Reward. Turn from your ways and seek His face, Seek Him who pours upon you grace.
- Our Father’s eyes see us His sons, He turns His face to His dear ones. But towards the wicked only hate, “Turn now, repent, it’s not too late.”
- In our great fears our soul cries out, to God the Lord our great redoubt. He comes so close in His dear Son, Who on the cross forgiveness won.
- Yes, true, our troubles seem so great, sorrow and trials seem our fate. Yet, Christ our Savior sees this too, our bones He heals and foes He slews.
- Foes of our God condemned all stand; redeemed, a righteous holy band, stands now this Church fed on our Lord, in heaven is our treasure stored.
