Tune: Leoni

('The God of Abraham praise')

********

Lord, you are God of old

Your wonders still be told

In spirit and truth we worship

In deed and lip

For e'er in you secure

You our Father e'ermore

We your people, you did us call

E'en one and all

 

You reign majestically

O'er your creation, we

See your appointed orders here

In lowly fear

Mankind and all below

You each creature know

For you have made each one and we

Your goodness see

 

Accepted through your Son

He the atoning one

Let songs be sung and praise be done

Excluding none

You, Lord God Almighty

Your face we cannot see

Yet Christ your Son your glory shows

With your life flows

 

There unapproachable

At Sinai we stall

Forbidden to come near you, for

You holy, pure

But now your Son has made

A way, the price has paid

For us to come, to be forgiven

And enter heaven

 

You ever awesome, strong

We join the heavenly throng

To worship you in every form

Through calm and storm

Unnumbered hosts proclaim

Your everlasting name

And through eternal Rapture's days

We shall you praise

    It's a clip from rather olden days, but for a very famous preacher's Memorial Service.

    Another good one Orchi.

    Is there a blip in verse four line two Should it be Sinai without the L.

    • Michael Edwards

      I lost an 'l' the other day - it could be mine.

      • Goldfinch60

        It's an 'l' of a problem these ost etters.

        • orchidee

          Yes thanks Gold. The spell-checker did not like Sinail. Maybe it thought it was 'snail' spelt wrongly? Or it's a new mountain somewhere? By the way, were we there with Moses? Us three maybe, if Michael was there too.

          • Michael Edwards

            I was there in my flaxen loin girdle and sandals - oh what fun we had.

          • Fay Slimm.

            A fine write Orchi. Thank you for sharing such vital words.
