Praise Pieces

orchidee



Tune: Luckington

('Let all the world in every corner sing')

Parts of Psalms 84, 85, 86

***********

Your tabernacles, LORD, amiable

They be to all

Your dwellings they lovely

And there your presence be

My soul e'en faints, and longs

To be there, sing you songs

For you, the living God, cries out my heart

Do ne'er depart

 

For you, LORD God, are a shield and a sun

Unto each one

You will give grace, glory

We shall your mercies see

No good thing will you keep

From us, your trusting sheep

You will guide those who do uprightly live

And peace them give

 

Mercy and truth, they are together met

Still constant yet

And righteousness and peace

Kissed each other, no cease

Truth from the earth shall spring

It shall fair justice bring

And righteousness shall down from heaven look

We not forsook

 

All nations that you have made shall come, they

In your sure day

Shall come and worship you

And give you honour due

O LORD, and they shall too

Glorify your name true

For you are great, and do wondrous things sure

You God e'ermore
