Lyrics (Psalm 86:5-6, 9-10, 15-16):

Response: Lord, you are good and forgiving.

stained glass bulletYou, O LORD, are good and forgiving,
abounding in kindness to all who call upon you.
Hearken, O LORD, to my prayer
and attend to the sound of my pleading. Response

stained glass bulletAll the nations you have made shall come
and worship you, O LORD,
and glorify your name.
For you are great, and you do wondrous deeds;
you alone are God. Response

stained glass bulletYou, O LORD, are a God merciful and gracious,
slow to anger, abounding in kindness and fidelity.
Turn toward me, and have pity on me;
give your strength to your servant. Response
