Tune & Hymn: When the Spirit of the Lord...
Karar - One Hebrew word for 'praise'
2 Samuel v.13-15
************
When the ark* returned unto (*Old Covenant box)
Jerusalem anew
There was great celebration
To the Lord, elation
Chorus
They danced, karar, whirled about
And for them there was no doubt
That the Lord was good, so
Onward procession did go
David danced before the Lord
Believed in all His word
Danced with all his might, carefree
Not caring [if] others see - Chorus
But not with human effort
Was he in praise caught [up]
But dressed in linen robe he
No sweat or stress be - Chorus
Shouting, praise, exaltation
To God, the Holy One
Sounds of trumpets sounding loud
Rejoicing large crowd - Chorus

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem, adapted to 7.5.7.5. metre for the verses, and 6.7.6.7. metre for the chorus. I'm gonna 'rock', let me hair down! Get those drums going, though Fido (remember him) don't like 'excitement'! heehee.
