Tune & Hymn: Skye Boat Song
Psalm 132 v.13-18
********
[Start with] Chorus
Arise, O LORD, now into your rest
By your presence we blest
You and the ark (box) of your covenant
Your laws unto us sent
For the LORD has Zion chosen
His habitation then
He says, This is my rest ever
I shall depart never - Chorus
He will here bless abundantly
Provide, none needy be
He will clothe priests with salvation
They His holy nation - Chorus
Her saints shall shout for joy aloud
It be so, He avowed
He will make the government grow
Line of David, we know - Chorus
He has ordained a lamp for light
For His anointed's sight
Even King David, and He shall
Deal with enemies well - Chorus
Enemies He will clothe with shame
They lose honour and fame
But King David's crown shall flourish
The LORD will him nourish - Chorus

I may have been at Culloden in 1746, as well as Hastings in 1066. Was you there too Gold?!
Nicely written Orchi.
Thanks Jerry.
Well said, orchie, and as for your singing, see my comment to Andy's humorous piece.

Good one Orchi.
I was on a hill just watching at Culloden as I didn't want to get mud on my boots.

Thanks Gold. Ooh me too. I had just had my nails done. Didn't want to break a fingernail. Was it our relatives, McGold and McOrchidee in the battle?!
