Tune: Harewood
('Christ is the corner stone')
Psalm 33 v.13-22
************
The LORD from heaven looks
He has us not forsook
He beholds all mankind
All their places does find
None can from Him hide, He does see
From His heaven high and lofty
He fashions their heart all
That men may on Him call
They not saved by strength much
But saved by Him, it such
His eye is on them that Him fear
They trust in Him, to Him draw near
And those that His mercy
Hope in, He keeps them free
Saves them from death, amine
So fresh praises begin
To Him, our soul does for Him wait
He is our help and shield, not late
Our heart in Him it shall
Rejoice, and praise Him well
Because He faithful be
We have trusted Him, see
Your mercy LORD be on us true
According as we hope in you

Well, Mal E Ficient is more related to Inn E Ficient than Ben is.
Happy Tuesday UNCLE STEVE ! Great Folksy Hymn to kickstart the Day ! I was singing along with one hand on my left ear ! Love PSALM 33 in the AV !
V 17. An Horse is a vain thing for saftey !
Neither shall he deliver any by his great strength !
Men put their trust in Horses (especially in the Betting Shop) and in IRON HORSES (TANKS) in modern warfare ~ instead of trusting in the LORD !
Bl essings & JOY to You & Faithful Fido
Spirit Love Angela Brian & Il Gatto Fumoso !!!
