Tune: Hursely
('Sun of my soul, my Saviour dear')
*********
Psalm 46 v.1-2
God is our refuge and strength He
A present help in trouble be
Therefore we will not fear, e'en though
Earth be removed, unsettled so
Psalm 46 v.5
God is in midst of His city
She shall not be shaken, but see
Firm shall remain, God help shall give
To her early, so she shall live
Psalm 47 v.7-8
Sing praises to God and rejoice
Sing with understanding and voice
Your praise and t hanks ot Him, he reigns
Over nations, justice ordains
Psalm 48 v.1-2
Mount Zion His city it be
It found in Jerusalem, we
Express its beauty, of it sing
For there He resides, the great King
Psalm 48 v.14
This God is our God evermore
His reign ne'er fails from shore to shore
He will be our guide unto death
Until we draw our final breath

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8.8.8.8. metre. I have to look at Psalm titles, for 'pick-and-choose' verses, such as in this poem. As the Psalms are the Jewish Hymn-book for the Temple, themes seem to be grouped together, as in usual hymn-books.

Thanks Neville. It's all right for some - I had to do the occasional sum that appears, before I could log in. How's yer maths?! Well, at least it wasn't a question on algebra. That's all Greek to me!
Good write Orchi.

Thanks dusk. lol.
And whom else would that psalm body be but our own Orchi. Way to go Orchi. ; ) AP
Thanks AP.
Good one Orchi, Psalm away.
Thanks Gold. You got your harp or lyre to join in?!
I tend to blow my own trumpet.
I was gonna play me lyre, but I think I sold it to an antiques shop.
