Tune: Gwalchmai
('King of glory, King of peace')
********
What scribblings, what musings?
What song heart sings?
While free time to meditate
Or contemplate
Using time wisely, not waste
Nor use in haste
The Lord's appointing each day
Seek Him and pray
Trust His life and love and power
Through each hour
Redeeming time, it be ours
Twenty-four hours
In each day, yet still abide
In Christ confide
Morning, night, and afternoon
With Him commune
Light and life and salvation
To each nation
He does bring, to Him praise sing
Rest 'neath His wing
Earthly time not last for e'er
But hope we share
Eternity with him spend
Christ our true Friend [of sinners]

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 7.4.7.4. 7.4.7.4. metre. Inspired by The Uneducated OAP mentioning 'scribblings', this came to mind. Also a clip of some spring-like scenes. 'Christ the Friend of sinners' is the theme in some churches for today.

Good Sunday Rabbi Steve ! WE loved the Hymn & the Video ! All thse Spring & Summer Flowers reminded us that this inclement (bon mot !) weather cant last for another 40 days & nights ! Love the Poem we will use it at our next Open Mike night in Church ~ we call it SHEKINAH ~ AMEN !
V 1. Carpe Diem (our song tomorrow) Time is a precious comodity which lessens every second. It is one of Gods many free gifts ~ never be guilty of wasting it !
V 2. 24 free hours each day fro all 7.5 billion people on Earth. When we ask a favour of some People (who shall be nameless) they reply *I haven*t got time* POPPY COCK ! Daniel remindas us to *Pray on our knees* MORN NOON NIGHT !
V 3. For CHRISTIANS our time on Earth is TIME to worship & honour GOD ~ AMEN But precious time to share the GOSPEL with others ~ before it is TOO LATE !
Blessings & Joy to YOU & YOUR Holy Hound
Love in the Spirit Brian & Angela ~ AMEN !
Thanks B&A. I'm a Gentile! Fido too.
