Tune: Buckland
('Loving Shepherd of they sheep')
Isaiah 26 v.3-4
*******
You will keep in perfect peace
Those whose mind shall never cease
To be stayed on you, sustained
Shall they be, with truth unfeigned
Trust you in the LORD for e'er
He will leave, forsake you ne'er
For in the LORD JEHOVAH
Is everlasting strength sure
His name is JEHOVAH, YAH*
He shines bright, the morning star
He the Rock of Ages be
Now and through eternity
Help me set my focus, LORD
All on you and on your word
So your peace we true shall know
Good things to us you shall show
-------
* YAH - shortened form of 'YAHWEH',
an alternative spelling of 'JEHOVAH',
but not 'Yah' as in 'Yeah!'

Thanks B&A. It's not me, but it's my uncle! (is it?). I gotta pay him overtime ya know. I keep wheeling him out to play these clips. lol.
Yeah, precisely what I am looking for ... N
Thanks N. The title may sound a bit funereal. In a Formal Prayer it says for the departed; 'May light perpetual shine upon them'. I got this verse on a pencil. The words are disappearing as I get me pencil out and keep sharpening it to write more stuff.
that's pencils for ya..
It comes about from writing too many.... all the 7's today. Bingo!
A lovely read Orchi.
Thanks Fay.
Good one one more Orchi.
