Tune: Lux Eoi
('Alleluia, Alleluia! Hearts to heaven and voices raise')
********
'Towdah' or 'Yadah', to extend
Hands in worship, and attend
To the Lord in adoration
He high over each nation
And used in vows, or acceptance
Thanking God for things we hence
Trust in faith that we shall receive
That for which we do believe
Jeremiah 33 v.11
And to give thanks for things received
That for which we have believed
The voice of joy, voice of gladness
All attuned, the Lord to bless
Voice of bridegroom and of the bride
They sure in the Lord confide
Voice of them that say, Praise the Lord
Of hosts, He the living Word
Jeremiah 33 v.11
Praising Him for He is good, for
His mercy endures e'ermore
Voice of them that bring sacrifice
Of praise, pray it does suffice
For the Lord and for His glory
He will cause to return, see
Those who were captives in strange land
He shall restore by His hand
Psalm 42 v.4
When downcast, I do remember
How I went along to share
With the multitude to the house
Of God, nothing could it douse
There be voice of joy and praises
Each one the Lord upraises
Keeping holy day, worshipping
Our God, He our Lord and King
Psalm 50 v.14 & 23
Offer to God thanksgiving pure
Pay any vows to Him sure
He the most High, and who does so
Offer Him praise, let them know
That they the Lord do glorify
And that to such He is nigh
Those who order their way aright
He shows His salvation, light

Thanks Neville. I thought it was Star Wars - or is that the Chewbacca thing - the talking ape thingy?! Ohh, it's Hebrew, not that I know any. They all came up on one list. About 17 words of 'em in all.
Good one once more Orchi.
Thanks Gold.
