Analysis of Steadfast Love of the LORD
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
Heaven and earth are Yours,
The world and all in it;
Founded all that endures,
As founded to permit.
The north also the south,
That You have created;
We praise with our mouth,
For we are elated.
You have a mighty arm,
And having a strong hand;
You keep me from all harm,
That exists in this land.
Righteousness and justice,
Foundation of Your throne;
Steadfast love is priceless,
Faithfulness has been shown.
Blessed are those who know,
And will walk in the light;
While Your face does show,
Countenance through insight.
We exult in Your name,
Rejoice in righteousness;
Shouting as we proclaim,
For everything You bless.
You are glory in strength,
Your favor our horn;
To persist any length,
This place where I sojourn.
My shield belongs to You.
King of the Holy One;
As a defense so true,
Being second to none.
