Tune: Franconia
('Blest are the pure in heart')
Psalm 5 parts
*********
Give ear, O LORD, to me
My words hear, my state see
Consider my meditation
There greater than you none
To you LORD will I pray
In morning of the day
Or afternoon or evening cry
Or night-time by and by
Lead me LORD in your way
Of righteousness each day
Guard me from paths of enemies
Before you each one flees
Make your way here now straight
Before me, not mere fate
For your way be right, and I take
That route e'en for your sake
Let all who trust in you
Be joyful now anew
Because you defend them, as shield
To them, safe in your field

Really lovely poem Orchi
Thanks Crow.
Gut Mitwoch (midweek !) Mein Onkel Steve ! Heir ist deine Freund ANGELA. Im PERIPATETIC today - too much Rioja last night. Loved the HYMN it explains why many folk cannot see GOD - their hearts are too impure ! Love PSALM 5 *Morning by Morning - O Lord you hear my voice - I lay my needs before You in expectation - AMEN !
Blessing & Joy to YOU & Inspector Hound
Love in the Spirit - Angela & Brian 🧡🤍💙
Fly the Flag ! Please check *POETICIANS* Thanks !
Thanks A&B. If you could not see the clip I posted recently, it may be 'their fault'- You Tube. Maybe restart your router and/or computer. I'm not sure. I'm no computer whizz, but I've just done this, to restore You Tube and other things.
Nice one O
Thanks M.
