Praise - Alaz

orchidee



Tune: St Fulbert

('Ye choirs of new Jerusalem')

*******

A perusal of worship, praise

Let us here songs now raise

To glorify our Lord and King

Songs we our Saviour bring

 

'Alaz', to exult, to rejoice

To praise Him with one voice

To jump for joy, and celebrate

Our Lord, He ever great

 

Psalm 149 v.6

Let the high praises of God be

In mouths of they who, see

In their hand too a two-edged sword

'Tis the word of the Lord

 

Psalm 96 v.11

Let heavens rejoice, earth be glad

And be no longer sad

Let sea roar, and all there within

And all that have scales, fins

  • Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8.6.8.6. metre. This is the first of a series on 'Praise words' that I have, though I am typing it out of sequence, and occasionally posting it. The first stanza is general introduction to the series, then the Bible verses show where the praise words appear.

    Good one Orchi.

      Thanks Gold. No danger of jumping for joy in some places. Well, I'm not given to jumping about or dancing, in church or out of it!

      • Michael Edwards

        Try not dancing whilst reciting that unwritten poem - great work by the way O.

          Yep, Michael. Did you and Goldie meet St Fulbert in person as well as me, in the early 11th Century, a bit before 1066? Did you say 'Hi, Fulb'?! I think it's French, so 'Full-bear'. And why am I talking rubbish still?!

          Thanks UNCLE STEVE : You continue to uplift ! Personally I consider all Three Members of the Trinity are Worthy of Praise although there are not many Hymns addressed to the Holy Spirit. I was brought up CATHOLIC and we are BIG on PRAISE. Some strict Evangelicals wont sing Hymns addressed to the SPIRIT or pray to the Spirit !
          I Praise God for Creating ME : Brian thinks He did a Good Job !
          I Praise JESUS for Saving ME. I Praise The HOLY SPIRIT for Infilling me and Empowering me to live the Christian Life (Its easier in Auckland !).
          Love the Music : A Lady Organist ! Thanks for the references it is a good subject for a Home Bible Study !
          Love ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡
