Parts of Psalms 113-118
********
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.
Andy
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.
Andy
