Forgiveness Full

orchidee



Tune: Hereford

('O thou who camest from above')

Psalm 130

********

Out of the depths to you, LORD, I cry

Hear my cry, do not pass me by

O LORD hear my voice and my pleas

My soul for refuge to you flees

 

If you, LORD, should mark our sins, keep

Record of wrongs, we shall mourn, weep

But with you there is forgiveness

That you we fear in your goodness

 

My soul waits for Him patiently

In His word I hope constantly

Let Israel hope in the LORD true

With Him they find blessings anew

 

Mercy, redemption, plenteous

His grace and salvation for us

He all Israel's sins shall redeem

It shall be true, not fantasy, dream

 

We thank you, LORD, sins you count not

Nor remember them, though were a lot

In your covenant promises sure

You forgive, forget them evermore

 

If we turn to your throne of grace

You will save us, redeem each race

Forgiveness, redemption you bring

In grateful thanks to you we sing

  • Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8888 metre, adapted from an early poem. A clip of 2 and half minutes of 'traditional church'. There are different styles of worship, all worthy. Here is beauty, eloquent enunciation, emphasis on each syllable. I'm waxing lyrical or flowery now - gushing!

      Thanks UNCLE STEVE: I love ROBED CHOIRS : very medieval, lovely hymn and (as you say) beautifully sung. Love the POEM Psalm 130 on of my favorites. I read a PSALM every day so i read it twice every year . Please check my POEM for today "THE MELODY OF LOVE" it may ring a bell or two! Love ANGELA XXXX

          Nice one O - Mrs Berles sends her regards.

          • orchidee

            Thanks Michael. Pity she is not in this choir. Or is she in disguise Is she the one with the beard?

            • Michael Edwards

              No but she is hiding under his robe - hence his high pitch.

            • Gary Edward Geraci

              Forgiven, may we indeed turn to His throne of grace! An inspiration Orchidee as ā€œthe promiseā€ is nestled within these lines: our one and only hope.

              • orchidee

                Thanks Gary. Like the 'traditional' clip?

                • Gary Edward Geraci

                  Loved the ā€˜traditionalā€™ choir clip. A talented group indeed!
