Tune: Lasst Uns Erfreuen
('All creatures of our God and King')
********
See bright bow shining in the sky
God's faithfulness shall never die
Alleluia, Alleluia!
You multi-coloured band of light
Appears resplendent to our sight
The Lord will not fail day or night
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
So is His grace, many facets
As each day dawns until sun sets
Alleluia, Alleluia!
And through dark nights He faithful here
His presence unseen, yet e'er near
Trusting in Him still, we not fear
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
Sun and rain intermingling
Of the Lord's glories do we sing
Alleluia, Alleluia!
Darkness o'er light can prevail ne'er
For His victory is just, sure, fair
And to Him none can match, compare
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
Time past, some saved in Noah's Flood
Today we are saved through Christ' blood
Alleluia, Alleluia!
Rainbow shows Deluge ne'er again
Shall be as it did happen then
New Covenant now to all men (mankind)
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8.8.8.8.8. metre with Alleluias. Written on a train while seeing a rainbow. The journey ended, otherwise this may have been a longer poem. Spot the guinea pig (?) at 1:13. It's them meerkats!

Orchi,
Alleluia!
“As each day dawns until sun sets”...
Alleluia!
A fine write and a great video!
As far as meerkats...
It is best that they stay in the wild!

Thanks Laura.
You have a divine pen Orchi
Thanks Michael. Seen Burlington Bertie? Or is it Berle-ington?
He's gone to Bow
You are His "little ray of sunshine" Orchi............
Thanks Lorna. You mean the 1969 song by Johnny Cash 'You are my sunshine....?' I looked that up. lol.
Well actually for me it's from a movie called "Last Orders" with Michael Caine, Helen Mirren, Bob Hoskins, Tom Courtenay, David Hemmings, Ray Winstone...... great little movie.........
Would I know this? Is it recent? I only know stuff around 1066 - or 1969!
Oh lol M. I looked up Burlington Bertie and a rather shifty looking guy was in a clip. Don't like the look of him!
