Presence Perceived

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!
