Tune: St Denio
('Immortal, invisible, God only wise')
Psalm 104 v.33-35 and Psalm 105 v.1-10
************
I will sing to the LORD as long as I live
While I have my being I will Him praise give
And my meditation of Him shall be sweet
I will be glad in Him, worship at His feet
Let those who continual sin be consumed
Out of the earth, wicked deeds not be resumed
Let them be no more, but to the LORD give thanks
All people, high. low. and whatever their ranks
Call upon His name, make known His deeds among
The people, sing psalms to Him, joyfully sung
Talk you of all His wondrous works, they doen fine
Glory in His holy name, perfect, divine
Let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD
Seek the LORD and His strength, e'er true is His word
Seek His face evermore, remember what He
Has done, His marvellous works, recall them, see
His wonders, and the judgements He has spoken
Proceeding from His mouth, for good of all men* (*mankind)
You His servants, His chosen people you be
He the LORD our God, judges earth righteously

The start of this poem sounds ominous - I'm gonna sing as long as I live.... Oh no! Arrggh! lol. Can ya bear it?
What's that you say: 'Just don't let me hear it!'
Good one Orchi.
Thanks Gold.
