Lyrics
Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear (love) him. He knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust. He knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust. Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him, that fear him. But as for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more. But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children’s children; Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear (love) him, that fear (love) him.
