Tune & Hymn: 'Ah Lord God!'
Jeremiah 32 v.17-19
*********
Ah Lord God! The heavens you have made
By your word they all are sure staid
Ah Lord God! The heavens you have made
And all your creation arrayed
Chorus
Nothing is too difficult for you
Nothing is too difficult for you
Holy God and only true
Your plans and will you e'er pursue
Nothing, nothing, absolutely nothing
Nothing is too difficult for you
All is made as by your great power
It ceases not for one hour
All is made as by your great power
Your blessings on us you shower - Chorus
Great in counsel, mighty in deed
Yet we your sheep, you do us feed
Great in counsel, mighty in deed
Providing for us all we need - Chorus

- Comment from author about the poem: A more modern hymn-poem - well, last Century anyway (after about 1960)! Not really in a metre, but fits to Verses: 9.8.9.8. Chorus: 9.9.6.8.10.9. Tried my hand at this 'irregular metre' - tricky in places.

Sorry - have to click again to see the clip on You Tube.
Good one Orchi.
Thanks Gold.
Fine write Orchi.
Thanks Fay.
this is lovely but maybe should have a change of title... I suggest 'Lovely Rita Meter Maid'....
actually, I can see how difficult this must have been..... N
Thanks Neville. I was not too bad until I got to the Chorus, with 10.6.8.9. whatever. I don't usually delve into 'Irregular Metres' or 'Peculiar Metres' as they may be called.... cos they are highly irregular! And who is peculiar?! But we only gotta do the Chorus once, so hey-ho!
I am not too keen on choruses in general, so that was something of a relief..... N
Erm, I'm not keen on them if they are sung about 500 times in a row - or seems like that many. A bit of laziness? Not bothering to sort out a few different hymns/choruses?
and why should ya..
