Tune: Rivaulx
('Father of heaven, whose love profound')
Psalm 84 v. 9 - 12 parts
**********
Behold, O God our shield, look on
The face of your anointed Son
He be Christ Jesus, He the One
Bringing to all folk salvation
The LORD God is a sun and shield
Come to Him, your heart, mind, life yield
For He will give grace and glory
And the Light of life to you be
No good thing here will He withhold
From those that trust Him in His fold
Who live righteously, Him obey
Blessed they who trust in Him alway

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8.8.8.8. metre. I don't always use 'alway' (last line). It's poetic, but some are fussy, and insist on 'always'. A publisher was fussy about it, so I didn't bother with them. Doh! 'Always' don't rhyme here! Spellchecker don't like it either.

Hello Orchidee,
A great write. You know I was reading Psalm 84 yesterday. It is a powerful Psalm.
God is our sun and shield. He is good all the time.
Keep writing FineB
Thanks Fine.
Is that the same shield you used in 1066 to keep the rain off. Nice one O.
Yes lol. Thanks M. I 'alway' am glad of your comments - note the poetic word there.
Glad? Yes so poetic.
