For St Michael & All Angels Day
(Michaelmas - Sept 29)
--------
Tune: Ever Faithful
('Let us with a gladsome mind')
Psalm 103 v.19-22
*********
The LORD has prepared His throne
In the heavens, all is His own
Chorus
Bless the LORD, His works Him praise
He rules o'er all, anthems raise
Bless the LORD, you His angels
His wonderful deeds each tells - Chorus
You angels in strength excel
You hear, do, His commands well - Chorus
Bless the LORD, all you His hosts
Servants unto farthest coasts - Chorus
You servants, you ministers
To do His will your heart stirs - Chorus

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 7.7.7.7. metre for Verses, and 7.7. for Chorus. I read that the poet John Milton wrote this hymn when aged 15. Quite old, from 1623, so nearly 400 years ago.

Thanks Neville. Yes, one of the few Bible passages where angels are mentioned. I'm a bright-eyed cherub. Am I? Well, I'm a blue-eyed boy anyway. No cause for me to be smug though!.
