Tune: Regent Square
('Light's abode, celestial Salem')
*********
'Ruwa', to shout, make a loud noise
Women and men, girls and boys
Ear-splitting sound, as an alarm
Of trumpets, to save from harm
Let all praise an give Him glory
The Lord He Almighty be
Psalm 47 v.11
Clap your hands now, all you people
Give praise to God, on Him call
Shout to God with voice proclaiming
His the triumph, he the King
For He is most high and awesome
King o'er the earth, to Him come
Zephaniah 3 v.14
Sing, people of Zion, and praise
Shout to Him, and voices raise
Be glad and rejoice whole-hearted
The Lord has not departed
From you, Jerusalem, it be
Ever His dwelling-place, see
Joshua 6 v.5
Round the walls of Jericho they
Marched with trumpets on the way
Circling the city, that so
All the enemy would know
That they would hen people shouted
Certain would be defeated

another new word to add to my collection .. thank you Orchidee.. for a moment, I thought my new word was nowt but a shouted order to the oarsmen as they ruwa ruwa ruwad their boat gently down the stream.... 🙂
Ahh, maybe that's the origin of the word then. I dunno what the words meant, until a list explained them to me!
Though familiar with scriptural text the Hebrew word Ruwa is new to me so thank you for giving its meaning dear Orchi.
Thanks Fay. Erm, I'm not familiar with Hebrew much. The words all came up on a list online.
God one Orchi. Make Ruwa for all.
