Introduction:

Here extracts of some Psalms of Passover

When people's hearts to praise, worship do stir

Praising and thanking the LORD, they concur

Alleluia. Alleluia!

 

Psalm 113 v.3

From the rising of sun to going down

Throughout each land and country and each town

The LORD's name is to praised in renown

Alleluia, Alleluia!

 

Psalm 114 v.7-8

Tremble you earth here, at the LORD's presence

Worship before him and His greatness sense

He brought water from rock, His works seen thence

Alleluia, Alleluia!

 

Psalm 115 v.3

Our God is in the heavens, He has done

Whatsoever He has pleased, deeds each one

Beyond His possibility there none

Alleluia, Alleluia!

 

Psalm 116 v.7

Return unto your rest now, O my soul

Though burdens upon you did take their toll

The LORD's bounteous dealings make you whole

Alleluia, Alleluia!

 

Psalm 117 v.1-2

Praise, praise the LORD, all you nations, people

His merciful kindness is to us all

His truth endures for ever, we not fall

Alleluia, Alleluia!

 

Psalm 118 v.2-4

Let house of Israel, house of Aaron, priests

And all that fear the LORD share in His feasts

Say, His mercy endures e'er, e'en to least

Alleluia, Alleuia!

 

Psalm 118 v.14

The LORD is my strength, song, and salvation

Come, righteous, praise Him, out of each nation

High and low, great and small, every station

Alleluia, Alleluia!

    Good one Orchi but the Lord has deserted me as you know.

      Thanks Gold. If so - you have not deserted Him? You may never set foot in a church again, if you had.

        As I said before I go to Church to sing in the Choir (I have now become the organiser) meet good friends and have free car parking in town. Church is only a meeting place.
