Praise Perpetuity

Tune: Divine Mysteries

('Sweet Sacrament divine')

*******

A Communion fine

Inspire, wisdom divine

Fan flame within each heart

To burn there, every part

Unto your glory, servant we

By grace your blessings we do see

All worship now humbly

All worship now humbly

 

Rise, songs to your Lord praise

And Him some anthem raise

Taking tunes old and too

Learning melodies new

Not silent, let His praise be heard

Expressions of the living Word

Sing sweetly as a bird

Sing sweetly as a bird

 

For all creation's voice

Joins in, and does rejoice

Each creature makes a sound

To you it does redound

You ever worthy to receive

More than we can think or conceive

True, whole, with no deceive

True, whole, with no deceive

 

'Til final trumpet sound

Let praises wide abound

Yet then still on it goes

Honour endless bestows

On you great God, you Lord of all

Your love sustains, we shall not fall

Tributes to you ne'er stall

Tributes to you ne'er stall

  • Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 6.6.6.6. 8.8.6.6. metre. I was in a Cathedral service. Some did not sing! I did not even know some of the hymns, but some chose not to sing even well-known hymns. It's sad. Every creature has it sound to praise the Lord - barks from Fido; squeaks from guinea pigs; trees 'clapping their hands' etc. A prayer at the start of another service did not help: 'I weave a silence on my lips'. Well, should be in a monastery or nunnery then. Doh!

      Orchi.

      A wonderful share!
      Read your author’s comments.
      Whenever I see the word ‘nunnery’, it makes me think of Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales! Fido would’ve barked at that one! Lol

        Thanks Laura. I never could read the Canterbury Tales in ye olde Englishe. When I read a modern version of it, I swooned, and yes, Fido barked! lol.

          It was a required reading at the school I attended! (I was 14 yrs. old) When I came to the word ‘nunnery’, I automatically thought of a convent for nuns! What did I know at that age?...not very much I guess!!🙄
