Tune: Woodlands
('Tell out my soul')
*******
On river walk, God's beauties here displayed
For He it all created and outlayed
Your birds, you swans, and geese here take your ease
You pigeons, ducks, take comfort as you please
And trees in shades of autumn colours view
Brown, red, and orange, and some stay green too
All here at peace, nothing disturb you calm
God your Creator shall keep you from harm
You rivers flow, with shining sheen of sun
Or sprinkled with clear raindrops, every one
We cannot of our human selves create
What you have made Lord, each thing it is great
Whether blue sky or clouds a-floating by
In all seasons of life your presence nigh
Help us to sense your love, your Spirit true
Unite all things that they glorify you
River of life, we drink from such a source
It endless flows, perpetual is its course
Here next to nature stop a while we may
Marvellous each your wonders we do say
And woodlands with variety of trees
All hues of green each leaf unique one sees
Nature reserves where squirrels there do play
Help us to protect and conserve each day
In wisdom Lord, you have cure made each thing
Each creature unto you may glory bring
Environmentalists save planet, yet
Better is to come, help us not forget
For one day new heavens and earth shall be
They shall remain, abide, permanently
And you God, with your people, we shall tell
Eternally you with us come to dwell

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 10.10.10.10. I got the word 'woodlands' into this too - the hymn tune name. Maybe the composer named this tune during a woodland walk?

Super Hymn Orchi.
Thanks Gold. Erm, ducks, squirrels, etc don't appear in that many hymns! lol.
Well they should do they are all part of Nature's realm.
Will you be singing this on the battlefield?
Yes - they will all run away - the enemy. Can't stand my singing. Who can?! They should have called me in before the battle started. Would have saved them fighting.

Thanks Angela.
Yes Gold. Well, come to think of it, some hymns do mention actual animals, or they may say 'creation' as a general term. And now a hymn-ode to me guinea pigs.
I'm sure they listen when I sing to them:
'Joy to the world
The guinea-pigs have come
Let earth receive her guinea-pigs
Let every guinea-pig prepare a song
To their Creator praise'.
Erm, is that in the Methodist hymn-book? lol.
lovely music,lovely theme
Thanks Ron.
