Worshipping Wholeness

orchidee



Tune: Westminster Abbey

('Christ is made the sure foundation')

Psalm 99

*********

The Lord reigns, let people tremble

Where they to Him assemble

He sits between the cherubims

Let each be moved, come with hymns

Unto Him, the Lord who is great

Great in Zion, for Him wait

 

High above the people is He

Let them praise Him now and see

His great and terrible name sure

It is holy evermore

The Lord, the King, strong, so it be

He loves judgement, equity

 

In Israel, His people, 'tis facts

With judgement righteous He acts

The Lord our God here Him exalt

At His footstool bow, no fault

In Him, for He is whole, holy

Give Him your worship solely

 

Moses and Aaron mist His priests

Prepared sacrifices, feasts

And Samuel among them that call

On His name, He answers all

From cloudy pillar He then spake

They kept His words, did partake

 

Of communion with Him sweet

He spake from the mercy seat*

You O Lord God answered, forgave

Though vengeance you did not waive

But showed it on their inventions

You the Lord the holy one

 

So exalt Him, worship His name

He who remains e'er the same

Holy, just, with judgement righteous

He does come and tend to us

We changed more into His image

Grant us Lord wisdom, courage

--------

*Mercy-seat - the lid of the Old Covenant ark (box)

where the two tables of stone of the Ten Commandments were placed,

plus a couple of other things put in the ark too.

(Exodus 25 v.21-22)

    Good to see the clergy/ministers joining in the singing too. Some places they just sit there, dare I say it, like (dumb) muppets, during the hymns!

      Thanks Lorna. That'll teach me - I've done self-prophecy. I went to very dull church today. I could not stay. it was awful - not awe-ful, but horrible. Oh dear!
