Tune: Little Cornard
('Hills of the north, rejoice')
Psalm 22 v.25-28
*********
My praise shall be of you
Holy Lord God and true
In great congregation
Among every nation
Hear the advent call, Christ's return
Come to Him and His ways discern
The meek shall eat and be
Satisfied fruitfully
They shall praise the LORD who
Seek Him, [their] intent to do
Their heart shall live for evermore
Truusting in His promises sure
All ends of the world shall
Remember wise, and tell
Of Christ, His sacrifice
Offering did suffice
To bring salvation unto all
Who in faith believe, on Him call
They shall to the LORD turn
Of His purposes learn
And shall Him all worship
Showing by deed and lip (spoken words)
That His is the kingdom, he reigns
nations governed as He ordains

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 6.6.6.6.8.8. metre. I have adapted some words to bring in the theme of Advent. The Psalm tells of Christ's sufferings, and the outcome of salvation for all. This is where I have picked up these verses for this poem, near the end of the original Psalm.

Hi Orchidee,
A wonderful write.
With Christ there is Salvation.
Keep writing FineB
Thanks FineB.
Good one Orchi.
Thanks Gold. You singing it that fast, as in the clip?!
It is a bit fast but I am sure we could manage it once we in the choir struggled off our chairs.
Didn't someone (you?) say it was the speed it should be sung at? Have to sing each verse all in one breath. They're going about 200 mph!
