Turn Thou From Evil
(RCOG - "Depart from Evil")
Words: Anonymous, Psalm 34:14-22
Music:
1. Turn thou from Evil, do what is good;
seek peace, pursue it earnestly.
Upon the just are the eyes of God;
His ears are open unto their cry.
But the Eternal's face is against
those who are evil, doers of wrong;
He cuts remembrance off from them,
cuts their remembrance from the earth.
2. When righteous men cry, God always hears,
for He delivers them from fears
Near unto them of a broken heart,
contrite of spirit, God saveth them.
Many afflictions that we do have,
troubles there be of righteous men;
But the Eternal delivereth
out from afflictions the righteous man.
3. Turn thou from evil, do what is good;
seek peace pursue it earnestly.
God keeps the bones of the righteous man;
not one of them shall broken be.
Evil shall slay all unrighteous men;
who hates the pure shall desolate be;
But God redeemeth the soul that's His;
non shall be desolate trusting Him.
