The Psalter ‎#281

281. A Mindful God

1 Mindful of our human frailty
Is the God in Whom we trust;
He Whose years are ever lasting,
He remembers we are dust.

2 Man is like the tender flower,
And his days are like the grass,
Withered where it lately flourished
By the blighting winds that pass.

3 Changeless is Jehovah's mercy
Unto those who fear His Name,
From eternity abiding
To eternity the same.

4 All the faithful to His covenant
Shall behold His righteousness;
He will be their strength and refuge,
And their children's children bless.
