Tune: Little Cornard
('Hills of the north, rejoice')
*********
Psalm 84 v.1-2
How amiable be
Your dwellings, Lord, we see
Your tabernacles here
How lovely they appear
My soul longs, e'en for your courts faints
There your abode with no sin's taints
Psalm 84 v.1-2
My heart and flesh cry out
You are the Lord, no doubt
I cry, I call to you
You me strengthen, renew
O LORD of hosts, of endless power
You reign unto eternal hours
Psalm 84 v.11
You LORD, a sun and shield
Are, may we to you yield
You will give grace, glory
And no good thing there be
Withholden from them that live right
And do that pleasing in your sight
Psalm 85 v.7-8
Lord, show us your mercy
Then we comforted be
Grant us your salvation
Unto every nation
I will hear what the LORD will speak
He will speak peace to humble, meek
Psalm 85 v.11-12
Truth from the earth shall spring
The land with praises ring
Righteousness shall look down
From heaven to every town
Yes, the LORD good things shall us give
Our land shall increase, we shall live
Psalm 86 v.3-4
Be merciful to me
O Lord, I cry daily
Unto you, make me glad
Rejoicing, and not sad
For to you Lord I lift my soul
Come to me, I pray, make me whole
Psalm 86 v.9-10
All nations whom you made
Shall come and be arrayed
Before you, and worship
Serve you in deed and lip
O Lord, you they shall glorify
And shall know your great presence nigh

Thanks Laura. Unhappily we can meet some un-amiable people in life too at times!
That’s for certain! We’ll keep on advocating the positive!😊
