Tune: Cwm Rhondda
('Guide me, O thou great Jehovah')
Psalm 103 v.1-12 part
*********
Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all
That is in me on Him call
Bless His name, holy forever
He will forsake us never
Bless the LORD, O my soul, forget
His benefits to us yet
His benefits to us yet
He who does forgive all your sins
Praise to Him afresh begins
And who heals all your diseases
Works His will as He pleases
Redeems your life from destruction
Praise Him peoples ,every one
Praise Him peoples, every one
He crowns you with loving-kindness
See His intent here to bless
And with tender mercies keeps you
Feeds you, and does you renew
So strengthened, like eagles you fly
Borne on breezes in the sky
Borne on breezes in the sky
The LORD works righteousness, judgement
His help to oppressed is sent
He showed His way to His people
To Moses and Israel all
He merciful, gracious,and slow
To anger, His mercies flow
To anger, his mercies flow
He will not contend for always
Nor keep His anger all days
He has not dealt with us as our
Sins deserve, but by His power
And grace, He them us does forgive
In His presence we may live
In His presence we may live

Good one Orchi.
It is a good tune but if you tell anybody that I said that I will deny it vehemently.
Thanks Gold. You Welsh?! I should have stayed in Wales in 1066, or anywhere but Hastings.
I thought I read this a day or two back.... but when I checked it seems I was wrong.... small blessings eh 🙂
Thanks N. Oops, Well the auto-filler did not suggest the title when I typed, so this might not be a 'repeat'!
Thanks UNCLE STEVE | Great Hymn & a Great Poem. The EARTH sure is the Lords and the fulness thereof AMEN ! When I lived in Liverpool we used to take parties of Teens UP (and DOWN) Mount Snowden (over 1000 metres) ! When we reached the Summit we would always sing CWN RONDDA in Welsh and every one (there could be over 100) joined in in either English or Welsh - AMEN
Blessings to You & Your Comic Cur
Yours BRIAN & ANGELA 💙🧡💙🧡
Thanks B&A. Yep, I sing it on Snowdon too, mainly cos no one can hear me then. Who can bear my singing?! heehee.
