Psalm 100 v.2

All lands, to the LORD, make noise joyful

On His great name do call

On His great name do call

Serve the LORD here with gladness true

Sing praise to Him anew

Sing praise to Him anew

Sing praise, sing praise to Him anew

 

Psalm 101 v.1

I will sing His mercy, loving-kindness

Look to me, do me bless

Look to me, do me bless

And of His judgements I too sing

Just, right in everything

Just, right in everything

Just, right, just, right, in everything

 

Psalm 102 v.27-28

You are the same, your years no end

Send us you help, defend

Send us your help, defend

Us from all enemies, so we

Continue constantly

Continue constantly

Continue, continue constantly

 

Psalm 103 v.1

All that is in me the LORD bless

his good name do confess

His good name do confess

It be holy for evermore

Proclaim from shore to shore

Proclaim from shore to shore

Proclaim, proclaim from shore to shore

 

Psalm 103 v.2

As far is the west from the east

From greatest unto least

From greatest unto least

So far has He our sins removed

His mercy to us proved

His mercy to us proved

His mercy, His mercy to us proved

 

Psalm 103 v.20

Bless the LORD, you His angels, [of] Him tell

You do in strength excel

You do in strength excel

His commands you do e'er obey

You hear His voice alway

You hear His voice alway

You hear, you hear His voice alway

 

Psalm 104 v.24

O LORD, how manifold your works are

Earth, sun, moon, shining star

Earth, sun, moon, shining star

In wisdom you have made them all

They of your riches full

They of your riches full

They of, they of your riches full

    Good one Orchi, the psalms are worth reading.

    • orchidee

      Thanks Gold. It may take longer to sing some songs, than to read them, if the songs have a slow pace - and this one gets repetitive too, though good for emphasis.

      It seems clear to me that Aristotle was spot on when he said

      'The whole is greater than the psalm of its parts'

      Many would have it he was referring to synergy... but hymnergy would seem to apply too ... at least in my book..

      Have a good day O

        Thanks Neville. We was a bit short on people at church. We had artificial help with recording of hymns played, to help us along!

        • Andrew Charles Forrest
