Tune: Sandys
('Teach me, my God and King')
Psalm 135 v.1-6
*********
Praise the LORD, praise His name
Give to Him honour, fame
You servants of His by His grace
By faith behold His face
You in the LORD's courts praise
To Him joyful songs raise
Praise the LORD, for it is good sure
And pleasant evermore
He has Israel chosen
To be His people, men
Women and children, His treasure
Melodies to Him stir
Whatsoever the LORD
According to His word
Was pleased to do, above, below
That He did do, we know
Whether heaven, earth, seas
Yes, with what Him agrees
That He does do, He LORD of all
And we may on Him call

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 6.6.8.6. metre. I don't think the original hymn has the 'Midas Touch' idea: 'turning everything to gold'. Not in a worldly sense, or we might like a magic wand that does that!

Hmmm, are you sure?
Thanks Gold. Well, yes - somehow. Hope I'm not just using words like Omni...….because I like the sound of the long words! But not in an arbitrary way. Yet, if He pleases, for 'good' or seemingly for 'bad', the Psalm seems to say no human can change it (stanza 4).
Meanwhile, flippantly - why did He not stop me saying those fateful words in 1066?!
BRIAN HERE ~ Thanks for the uplift for Saturday ! Love the hymn (Spiritual Gold I guess NOT the Chemical Element Au) and the POSITIVE Praise Tone of Psalm 135 !
Despite the depressing conditions of our WORLD
Let us take time to Praise the LORD
Blessing & Joy to You & Fussy Fido !
Love in Spirit BRIAN & ANGELA
