Tune: Lasst Uns Erfreuen

('All creatures of our God and King')

********

Psalm 45 v.6

Your throne, O God, is for ever

You shall lose your rule, reign never

Alleluia, Alleluia!

The sceptre of your kingdom is

Sceptre of righteousness, 'tis bliss

In your royal state we this this

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia

 

Psalm 45 v.13

The king's daughter, all glorious

'Tis the Bride of Christ, even us

Alleluia, Alleluia!

We His church, and he the Bridegroom

let every heart prepare Him room

He Lord arisen from the tomb

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

 

Psalm 46 v.1-2

The Lord god our strength, refuge be

A very present help is He

Alleluia, Alleluia!

In times of trouble on Him call

Sincere ones He will help them all

Trusting in Him we shall not fall

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

 

Psalm 47 v.7

For God is King of all the earth

Let all praise Him, give Him His worth

Alleluia, Alleluia!

Sing praises with understanding

For He a high and awesome King

Unto Him your true worship bring

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

 

Psalm 48 v.1-2

Great the LORD, greatly to be praised

Praises, thanks to Him be upraised

Alleluia, Alleluia!

Mount Zion is His dwelling fair

We assured His residence there

In His Temple, none can compare

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

 

Psalm 48 v.14

This God our God for evermore

Our faith secure, confident, sure

Alleluia, Alleluia!

He be our guided e'en unto death

Until we take our final breath

His word true, each word that He saith

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

      • Michael Edwards

        You can't beat a good metre - can you substitute 'Woof, Woof, Woof' for Alleluia - and make Fido's day?

        • orchidee

          Yes lol, he will have plenty of Woofs then!

        • Goldfinch60
