Tune: Diademata
('Crown Him with many crowns')
**********
Night-storm, the lightnings flash
And loud the thunders crash
The rain teems down. refreshes land
All under your strong hand
You, Lord of life and power
Your strength constant each hour
Your voice loud in the storm is heard
Or e'en in quietest word
Wind makes the trees to shake
Raindrops o'er river, lake
And waters land, relief does bring
To each dry, arid thing
So your Spirit you send
Unto us you do tend
Water of life you with us share
We revive and well fare
All life dependent be
On you, Creator, we
Do believe, what you will, you do
And wonders not a few
Life you give unto all
Help us to hear your call
To turn to you, your salvation
By grace unto each one

The wind doth howl
and tempest blow
from your wrath
so all should know
you dont care two hoots
about killing human kind
cos christians love you
but their love is blind
Thanks dusk. It's said 'We love because He first loved us'. I saw this on a head-stone. In that case it meant the person who had passed away had first loved hsi children.
Good one Orchi but I agree with what d a has said.

Thanks Gold.

Last nights storm played havoc with my already damaged ridge, thank Bodhidharma for me having arranged for the thatcher to start work at the end of the month...

Thanks Neville. Now I don't know the guys not the gals you know. I don't know the Bodhidharma chappy.
BRIAN HERE ~ Thnaks for posting a great Hymn to raise our Spirits on a DAMP Thursday Morning ! In this GODLESS GENERATION we need to give GOD all the Praise & Glory he deserves' Thanks for your Poem on the Blessing of the Water Cycle I have posted several. It keeps Planet Earth alive ~ and yet it is one the most understated of Gods greatest Blessings. Foolish People grumble when it rains on their Parade. We always trust the *Weather Forecast* when planning an *Al Fresco* Event for the Church and we havent had one spoiled by Rain in the last ten Years. If we work with GOD (and his essential Weather Patterns) we are always blessed AMEN !

Thanks B&A and Gato. See, Smokey helping me learn Spanish!
Your standard never falters - a great write O.
Thanks M. I reeled off 'flash' and 'crash' for the opener.
That is beautiful, it has a true sense of praise. I wrote a poem today that is light triumphant over the dark. But mentions too much of the foul deeds.
Your poem Orchidee is praising the light not as a contrast to the dark but the all encompassing love of the creation to God and God to the creation.
Amen
Thanks Gavin.
Dont even mention storms to me this mane .. we have one presently that has been raging all night long
.. no rain but strong enough to lob a heavy garden chair over a hundred yards and take the top off me dove cote ...
Aww, poor doves - and poor chair. A flying chair, no less! Were you sitting on the chair when it took off?!
No I was just about to land on my dove cote tho ..
