Tune: Lobe Den Herren
('Praise to the Lord, the Almighty...')
Psalm 33 v.12 - 22
*********
Blessed is the nation whose
God is the LORD, He did them choose
And blessed are the people
Whom He has chosen, e'en them all
They shall sure be
His inheritance thus, see
Come praise Him now, open and free
The LORD looks from heaven
He beholds all mankind, all men
From the place where He dwells
His habitation through skies veil
He looks upon
Daughters and sons here, each one
Fashions their hearts alike, 'tis done
All our works and our ways
he considers throughout all days
No king saved by a host
On earth, though this may be their boast
And the mighty
Not delivered by strength, see
But by the LORD's help rescued be
Behold, eye of the LORD
Is upon them that fear His word
And who do stand in awe
Of Him, and hop in mercy sure
He will come, save
Deliver, the way will pave
In times of famine them food gave
For He will keep them such
When disasters may befall much
Our soul for the LORD waits
Not left are we to earthly fates
He out help, shield
We Him our allegiance yield
Rejoicing in mercy revealed

I ask you our dear lord I pray
God bless the likes of Mrs May
She tried her best with all attrition
It's not her fault she's politician
I hope God loves this land more than our politicians Orchi
Great composition again
Thanks
It's my fault Andrew. I should have had a chin-wag with her. She and hubby go to a near-ish church to me on Sundays. We should have discussed the state of the nation over coffee after the service. She's not Mrs T calibre. Though Mrs T. could be kindly too.
