Tune: Bunessan
('Morning has broken')
******
A round dance, 'machowl', it does derive here
From 'chowl'* (*Hebrew), whirling particles appear
As of a sandstorm, vigorous, lively
Take up your places for the dance, see
Psalm 149 v.3
Let them praise His name, praise it in the dance
It will the worship truly enhance
Let them sing praises to Him with timbrel
And with the harp, and instruments all
Jeremiah 31 v.13
The Lord shall restore, then the young and old
Shall praise Him, by all His wonders told
He shall turn their mourning to joy, comfort
Sorrow turned to joy, they have Him sought
Exodus 15 v.20-21
The Lord's deliverance wrought at Red Sea
Then this the people's song it was, see
The horse and rider of the enemy
He has destroyed, thrown into the sea
1 Samuel 18 v.6
Dancing at Saul and David's victories
The Lord from enemies He them frees
Praise and elation, joy, celebration
From everyone, whate'er their station
Psalm 30 v.11
You Lord have turned my mourning to dancing
I my joyful songs unto you bring
You have put off my sackcloth, I not sad
Now, for your help has sure made me glad

I'm not one for dancing really. Anyway, Fido barks at me, to keep me from too much 'excitement'. Should I keep him as my 'watchdog'? He never lets me let my hair down! heehee.
Can Fido play the drums?
Yes lol. Machowl sounds a bit like Meow! I got to stop insulting cats, cos I keep saying 'Is it me singing or two cats fighting?!'
