Tune: St Cuthbert
('Our blest Redeemer, ere He breathed')
Isaiah 41 v.10-14 parts
********
Fear not, my people, for I be
With you for always, see
I am your God, be not dismayed
Trust firm and staid
I will strengthen you, and too I
Will help you, I am nigh
You, with my hand I will uphold
You in my fold
My hand, a hand of righteousness
I shall with it your bless
All that were against you shall fall
E'en one and all
You shall seek them, but shall not find
They be gone, out of mind
They be nothing, no more you harm
I bring you calm
For I the LORD your God will hold
Your right hand, trust, be bold
I will say to you, Fear not, for
I help you sure
Though you as a worm, and I great
I leave you not to fate
I your Redeemer, Holy One
The LORD, bar none

'Though you as a worm, and I great
I leave you not to fate'
a different take: people assume fate as being aligned by deity, a refreshing perspective and a great line
Thanks LB. Erm, we are 'worms' in comparison! Yes, I see how some assume fate as being aligned by deity. A bit more evangelism there, heehee. So they DO believe somewhat, or in something.
Hopeful words Orchi.......... now if he could only do something about Trump.........
Thanks Lorna. Well, he may not be there after November. All seemed OK when Barack was there - a good man.
He was great..... a real gentleman........... and looks like a saint in hindsight! Right now I'm just going to have simple faith that Trump is going to go away one way or the other....
Is that Fearless Faith Berles - Fine work O.
Yes lol. Thanks M.
I had an auntie Faith .. she was a missionary in Africa .. and she was by all accounts absolutely fearless ..
Thanks Neville. Glad she was. I mean I'm pleased, not that she's called Glad(ys), cos you just told me her name was Faith!
I had an auntie Gladys too & she was Faiths sister ... no kidding
Good one Orchi.
Thanks Gold.
