Tune: Newington
('Thine for ever, God of love')
Psalm 80 parts
********
Give ear, O Israel's Shepherd
In your mercy our prayers heard
By you, who your sheep do lead
Tend unto them and them feed
Turn us, O God, us restore
Us again, we you implore
Cause your face to on us shine
Send bright beams of light divine
So we shall be saved, and know
Your mercy, your keeping so
Be not angry, but pardon
By your grace each humble one
Return to us, Lord, we pray
Look from heav'n on us this day
Visit us, we your vine, see
In your vineyard, so we be
This vineyard you have planted
You have tilled it and it fed
Branches there you have made strong
For yourself, this be our song

Good one Orchi, keep singing?
Thanks Gold. I'm singing in space now, as it's said 'In space no one can hear you scream!'
Orchi,
I wish your singing here on earth could quell these tumultuous times!
Laura
Thanks Laura. Ahh, it could - it would cause everyone in the troubles to run away and scatter!
That's the way... belt it out
I reckon I recall this tune from my childhood choirboy day..
Thanks Neville.
