('Hail the day that sees Him rise')

Psalm 103 v.19-22

********

The LORD has prepared His throne - Alleluia!

In the heavens, all His own - Alleluia!

His kingdom rules over all - Alleluia!

Sing praise, on Him humbly call - Alleluia!

 

Bless the LORD, you His angels - Alleluia!

Each you in His presence dwells - Alleluia!

You excel in strength, and you - Alleluia!

Always His commandments do - Alleluia!

 

You the voice of His word hear - Alleluia!

Ever know Him to you near - Alleluia!

Bless the LORD, all you His hosts - Alleluia!

Heaven, earth, to farthest coasts - Alleluia!

 

Bless the LORD, you ministers - Alleluia!

You His servants, He confers - Alleluia!

Grace upon you, and you do - Alleluia!

His pleasure, His mercies view - Alleluia!

 

Bless the LORD, all His works in - Alleluia!

Heaven, earth, sky, all therein - Alleluia!

Bless the LORD, O my soul too - Alleluia!

There place in worship for you - Alleluia!

    20 by 4 syllables - that's a costly lot in Alleluia alone - Miss Berles will be posting an invoice.

    • orchidee

      Phew, yes! Did I waste them? Was I greedy, having them after every line?! And do you know Ally Lou Ya?

      • Michael Edwards

        I know Wheresa-Loo Ya

        • orchidee

          Ah good. It might be Halle-Loo Ya too, another sister?

          • Michael Edwards

            Don't forget Needa Loo

            • orchidee

              There's as many Loos family as Berles family.
