This is the meter for such hymns as "Be Still, My Soul"
1. Your mercy, Lord, reaches up to the heavens;
Your faithfulness extends up to the clouds.
Your righteousness is tow'ring like the mountains;
Your justice is like the depths of the sea.
Human and animal you save, O Lord.
How precious is your steadfast love, O God.
2. People find shelter in your wings' great shadow.
They feast upon th' abundance of your house,
And they drink from the river of your goodness,
For with you is the fount and source of life.
In your light we see light. Love and salvation
Continue to the just ones who know you.
