Tune: Tallis' Evening Hymn

('All praise to thee, my God this night')

Psalm 95 v.7-11

*********

Today if you will hear God's voice

Come to Him and make Him your choice

Harden not your heart, as day when

Of old, they did provoke Him then

 

And too in day of temptation

They then did hearken to Him none

In wilderness journeys there they

Did try Him, test Him, in the way

 

They sought to prove Him, His work see

But did not live in harmony

Forty years long He was sure grieved

With them, for they not true believed

 

It was a generation such

A people who in heart erred much

And had not the Lord God's way known

An example not to condone

 

To them the Lord did sware they not

Enter into His rest, their lot

Was to experience His wrath

Their days were consumed as by moth

 

So help us Lord, to learn, to hear

Your voice, be as your sheep loved dear

Cast us not off, for mercies sake

Good Shepherd, us as your sheep take

                          Referring to our earlier exchange.
                          Just read the banter, as you said, between you two.
