                        O God, Forsake Me Not
                               Psalm 71


1.   Eternal God, my hope and refuge, Thou art my Rock and fortress; O God,
     incline Thine ear to me; save me from the unjust man. Thou art my help
     and trust, O Lord; my praise shall always be to Thee; My mouth is filled
     with praise and glory; O God, forsake me not!

2.   Eternal God, be not far from me! O God, make haste to help me! I'll hope
     and praise Thee more and more; I will tell of Thy great works. Lord, when
     I'm old forsake me not; my enemies against me plan; They say, "His God
     will not protect him;" O God, forsake me not!

3.   Eternal God, our great Creator, Thy justice reaches heaven; Thou who hast
     shown me many trials, Thou shalt give me life once more. My lips will
     shout for joy, O God, when I sing songs of praise to Thee; Thou Holy One
     who hast redeemed me, O God, forsake me not!
