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!.
