Tune: Little Cornard
('Hills of the north, rejoice')
Malachi 4 v.1-3
*********
Behold, the day does come
Unto all, not just some
Day of the Lord it be
Burns as an oven, see
All the proud, all the wicked they
Shall be as stubble, fly away
For the day comes that shall
Burn them up, none shall tell
Of their place, says the LORD
It shall be as my word
Says, and they shall have no branch, root
Their evil deeds gone, not bear shoot(s)
But unto you that do
Fear the LORD's name, 'tis true
Unto you shall arise
Sune of righteousness, eyes
Shall then Him see, and with healing
In His wings wholeness, peace shall bring
You shall go forth and be
Like as calves of stall, free
You shall go forth, and then
Tread down the wicked men
They shall be ashes 'neath your feet
Separating the chaff from wheat

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 6.6.6.6.8.8. metre - Advent theme in original and in poem. A seemingly super-fast version in the clip, though some say it should be sung at this speed.

Thanks UNCLE STEVE : Love the Hymn : great Choir great sound ! Your Poem on GODS Judgment reminded me to keep on the straight & narrow and not to overindulge on Food & Wine over Christmas ! Its SUMMER here and it doesnt feel like CHRISTMAS except at night when all the Christmas lights come on again ! Missing BRIAN !
Love in the SPIRIT : ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡
Thanks Angela. Well, I don't expect you're among the 'wicked' that are going to be sorted out! Awww, why it only say wicked MEN?! (ooohh heehee).
Good one Orchi and a wonderful tune, we sang it in Church last Sunday.
Thanks Gold. Some places may have it tomorrow. Is this clip too fast for the tune?

Awesome Chorale!
