Praise Proliferations

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!'
