Tune: St Denio
('Immortal, invisible, God only wise')
Psalm 93
*********
The LORD reigns, He is clothed with great majesty
Come worship, come honour, His greatness now see
He has clothed Himself with strength and has girded
Himself, world is not moved, it He established
Your throne LORD, e'erlasting, established of old
Let your great workings, signs, and wonders be told
You are from e'erlasting, not other can be
Comparable to you, the LORD Almighty
The floods have raised their voice, have mounted on high
All creation praises you, earth, sea, and sky
The waves of the sea speak of your power, we
Confess you are great, and your marvels we see
The LORD on high is mightier than the noise
Of many waters, the seas their sound employs
To worship you LORD, for your testimonies
Are very sure, holiness with you agrees.

That's a lot of syllables - does Miss Berles know?
Thanks Michael. Oohh yes, 11 syllables per line. Miss Berles said 'It'll cost you; syllables don't come cheap, you know!'
Wonderful
